In a response to US President Donald Trump’s latest threat to seize control of Greenland, the leaders of the Danish autonomous region’s five main political parties issued a joint statement late Friday declaring the future of the island should be decided by Greenlanders.
I think a better group to ask would be Puerto Ricans. They are US citizens, but as far as I’m aware (not an American myself), being a citizen without any representation or voting rights means they get fucked over a lot.
Difference between Venezuela and Greenland is that for Venezuela, they are openly saying they want regime change and compliance, not annexation. For Greenland they’re explicitly calling for annexation.
Hypothetically, let’s say Denmark backs down and gives up Greenland (not gonna happen, but let’s assume). No way are the republicans going to give them senators and congresspeople, they’d immediately be opposed to the Republicans.
PR also doesn’t want to pay federal taxes.
A US Citizen in PR cannot vote. A US Citizen resident in a foreign country can.
This is regardless of where you are born, but in which US territory you last resided (eg proper state, Puerto Rico, etc)
If taxes weren’t one of your founding myths I would ask what’s the deal with not paying taxes, but yeah…
