We do not want to be Americans: Greenland's Prime Minister rejects Trump's proposal

Greenland's Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede asserted that Greenland cannot be bought or taken, emphasizing the island's right to self-determination. His statement comes after President Trump expressed the United States' interest in acquiring Greenland. Trump's comments have fueled interest in...

Greenland cannot remain independent.. Even what they have now is only an illusion of independence. That doesn't mean they have to submit to tyranny but it does mean they have to make a choice and they need to make one soon.
Without anyway to defend either their waterways or their acreage Greenland's claim to independence is nothing but a fairytale.

Going forward They will not be able sustain any kind of workable economy, provide any real security or even make decisions about the development of their land. Trump is right... in this condition Greenland presents a security threat to North America.

This is not hard to understand.

Stop talking out of your ass. Greenland is protected by NATO and is under no threat from anyone except trump. And he's an extremist idiot.

The only person planning on invading them is trump The Malignant Narcissist.

The world is reorienting itself. This is what you wanted. The evolved 21st century. You have your canvas. Trump has his. And it is America First. So, we all can still live a good life.

Trump already got Greenland to vote for independence from Denmark. They will soon realize that becoming a Territory of the US is the best deal they could possibly make.

Normally that would be workable BUT not the way this administration is handling it. If anything they're are more opposed to such an option.

Well Trump and Putin may be able to make a deal with Russia getting the baltics and Scandinavia and us getting greenland.

Which country do you imagine represents an existential threat to Greenland?

which country? A better question would be which world?

If "...Greenland can not remain independent..." which state/polity represents a viable threat to its autonomy?

 

[Stann]

Well Trump and Putin may be able to make a deal with Russia getting the baltics and Scandinavia and us getting greenland.

Yes it's all going to magically happen. Scandinavians know not to trust the Russians and now because of trump they are wondering if they should trust the US anymore.

 

[justoffal]

If "...Greenland can not remain independent..." which state/polity represents a viable threat to its autonomy?

Russia, China.... And eventually members of the EU.

It's not so much the geography but the sea routes.
There's nothing stopping any of the big players from sinking oil rigs, overfishing the waters, or lurking militarily somewhere offshore and eventually establishing an onshore base. Nothing at all. NATO doesn't have any navy to speak of except for what the US provides... It's not a matter of if Greenland will be independent going forward it's a matter of who they will be taking their orders from. Smart move... becoming American protectorate and enjoy mostly Independent living. These guys are like a runaway Amish son walking down the streets of New York City at 1:00 a.m. in the morning thinking that he's in good hands.

Greenland has had home rule since 1979 and self rule since 2009. They are happy with Denmark. Doubt if they would ever want to join the US , especially a US run by trump. Most people do not respond well to cohersion and extortion.

You Just don't get it do you? Greenland is defenseless....Trump is giving them some very good advice. This is not the Disney story Brother Bear... This Is the real world where the big fish eat the little fish. This foolish notion of Greenland sovereignty is nothing but an uninformed stupid dream. There is one nation that has the ability to give them lasting Independence and only one. If they can't figure that out then they are too stupid even to be asked.

So when do we invade?

Denmark tells you to go fuck yourself.

Hopefully never..... They would be smart to hook up in some way shape or form with a nation that has a strong NAVY.

I can certainly understand their being apprehensive of overreach. Seems to me designation as a territory would be perfect for them. Getting all constipated and self-righteous over a political spat is not in their best interest.

Large installments of functional naval bases take 5 to 7 years. Geopolitically speaking I don't think they have that much time.

At this point even if NATO retaliated in their behalf it would only be to pick up the dead bodies after the fact. Right now they're just being stupid.
