Greenlanders dreaming of something they will never have

[schmidlap]

Why do you think there is only one country that can give them lasting independence? Please explain

There are sovereign entities throughout the world that could by targets for imperialistic ambitions under the guise of altruism.

E.g., Russia/Ukraine

Ok Commie.

As an American my question is this: Is Greenland becoming a U.S. territory going to benefit poor and middle-class Americans or only the rich as usual? My guess is it's the latter. Poor and middle-class Americans will be Indentured to pay for development there and get nothing tangible in return. And yes, I voted for Trump.

The principal benefit of acquiring Greenland would be US national security, which benefits all Americans. How would poor and middle class Americans become indentured to pay for development? On the contrary, they would enjoy greater job opportunities and income. The fixed-pie theory is about two centuries out of date.

It could be argued that he United States exercising dominion over all North and South American nations, as well as all European ones, could increase the security of all Americans.

If sovereign nations wish to remain sovereign, such imperialistic acquisitiveness is prohibited. When the vast majority of American concur with their resolve to maintain their independence, such a usurpation is not about to happen.

Less than 1 in 5 favor US annexing Canada, Greenland​

Got Trudeu idiot gone, now Canada needs a conservative to win.

A good start.

Greenland has a workable economy. They have a fishing industry that sustains 55,000 people.
It has sustained them for hundreds of years.

Can it do better?
Of course it can.
They can expand the mining of rare minerals
They can expand tourism.

But they don’t need Trump to do that and they rightfully do not trust him.

Why haven't they done it on their own?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So they have to make a choice.
Align with Denmark or change their alliance to the US

Who do you think they trust more?

They don't trust Denmark for certain.

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.

Greenland isn’t independent

Greenland isn’t independent

Correct , self autonomous much like Catalonia is with Spain. Someday they may both be independent nations.

Yes they are subject of a king

They long for freedom

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.

NATO is mainly funded by the U.S.

The king has very little power , although the monarch signs all legislation ( ergo constitutional monarchy) he cannot take any political action himself. Everything goes through the legislature.

So, you spew America as an isolationist nation with Trump and now this is not, and it irks you.

You seem to fancy that isolationism is not bullying other nations into submission.

Mutual respect for sovereignty is a disparate matter.
