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.
Who said they would even be “Americans”?
Ask the people of Venezuela: are they US citizens now?
Greenland will be just another poor banana republic. Under the thumb of Usa, and some stupid, corrupt governor.
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…
Greenlanders are 90% an indigenous Inuit people. They have every right to self determination, and to cast off Danish colonialism, that has a dark past: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/02/1133382
But they are also well aware that the US is not a liberator and has been and is going to be an even worse colonial power: https://youtube.com/shorts/rlz2EOQWJgg
I didn’t know that Greenlanders are 90% indigenous Inuit people.
I am even more concerned about an American invasion of Greenland now. No wonder Trump is treating Greenland like its unoccupied.
89.5% apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland#Demographics
So Trump don’t want them to be American either…
Trump has made light of the concerns of Denmark, a steadfast US ally that joined the United States in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Is that a French ‘told you so’?
stephen miller like “ok well that will make this much easier”
Solidarity from Canada.
Step one. Mass migration from mainland Europe to Greenland. At least 10M people should move to Greenland.
Step two. Sell Greenland to USA.
Step three. 10M Europeans turned Americans, flips the scale in USA politics.
Step four. USA finally takes care of school shootings, introduces exotic concepts like free healthcare and employee rights. Joins EU.
I can understand the idea behind this, but I guess this is not the choice of the Greelanders either.
Does not work.
These little 10 mill can only make the so-called democrats win once. That does not bring all these changes that you are dreaming of. Usa needs some much stronger change, before things can improve to any meaningful extend.
I mean, they would never be seen as such… they would be like Samoans or at best, Hawaiian natives…
Great for Greenlanders to have a united voice, this helps their cause.
