What future do you wish for Greenland?

[Zebra]

You know some of the possibilities.
I am for the status quo, improved a bit.

 

[Mac1958]

Status quo.

No peaceful nation or territory deserves to be threatened by an aggressive predator nation, especially one that used to be a good friend and ally.

What would be those "improvements?"

That its tectonic direction is away from North Pole.

If it moves away from North Pole, it will start to melt.

If it continues to move WNW, the Greenland ice age will continue, possibly for the next 10 million years, and all that will be left of Greenland will be a few mountains, all else will be scraped out and below sea level.

 

[JWBooth]

Same as I wish for anybody. Self determination.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Whatever their residents want,

If we want to use some of their natural resources, then just compensate them.

3/4 are for Home Rule

I wish for them what they wish for themselves. To be left in peace. I saw an interview with a citizen of Greenland yesterday. She said something very simple yet profound. "No should be enough." They do not want to become part of the US. A sentiment they have repeatedly expressed. That should be enough.

Unfortunately, the petty tyrant in the Oval Office only cares about what he wants.

Lebensraum.

National defense is the canard being trotted out to justify US control of Greenland (and Canada) in effect using those sovereign territories as pawns in an upcoming confrontation with Russia.

"Defense Considerations: A Northern Shield Against Russian Aggression​

"As geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West continue to escalate, largely fueled by strategic provocations and mutual distrust, the Arctic is rapidly becoming a crucial theater of military competition.

"The region’s significance extends far beyond resource exploitation and shipping routes; it is also a vital component of North American defense strategy.

"Given its proximity to Russia, the Arctic represents a potential flashpoint in any future conflict between global powers.

"If hostilities were ever to break out, Canada and Greenland would serve as the first lines of defense against any military incursion from the Russian north."

They can sell it to America. Then every person becomes a multi millionaire. There economy gets wealthier. They are protected from Russia. No they would rather freeze their asses off in a third rate village. Cold must make you stupid

I noticed you're repeating a baseless rant Dotard made trying to justify taking Greenland against the will of its citizens. Here's the problem with it.

As an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland is covered by the NATO alliance. So if Russia or China (or the US) were to try to take Greenland by force NATO countries would come to its defense.

Got it?

PS, think for yourself for a change.

 

[kyzr]

It is just a question.

the OP still needs a link or it will be closed.

Greenland needs to let the US have the authority to keep China and Russia out of Greenland.

 

[Eman623]

Please don't be a haven for America's enemies. That won't end well.

Other than that I don't care how the Greenlanders conduct their business.

The idea that Russia or China could somehow occupy Greenland, triggering a war with NATO in the process, in the immediate backyard of the United States, which has the largest navy on Earth, is so implausible that a toddler could see through it.

This isn’t a serious national security argument. It’s raw power politics, justified after the fact with paper-thin rationales.

And given the complete lack of strategic necessity, the most plausible explanation left is not security but ego, specifically, the need of one deeply psychologically damaged individual to project dominance for its own sake.

Russia is very close and that gives them an advantage. They are a threat.

Russia has a geographic advantage and could take Greenland before we could respond. Then what. Putin has shown he is willing to invade other nations.
