Article only in original Danish for now, as the press conference joint between the Danish and Greenlandic PM just ended. Will post an English language article when one becomes available.
Tho I am still questioning how Greenland could fund itself without Denmark, they gave up on extracting more recourses under the ice

I can parse just enough of the Danish to be even more embarrassed than I was previously, which I thought was impossible.

How is Greenland going to defend itself when ruzzians will be knocking on the door with knives behind their backs? No, seriously, how the f are they going to stay independent?

That’s a wish. Like I wish fairies were real.
They can’t defend themselves and their territory is of strategic importance.
There’s no way they’re surviving without a “mother” nation giving them protection. They will either be part of another bigger country, or they’ll have to sell part of their country, or sell the rights to extract all their resources in exchange for protection, or they will lose 90% of their country as soon as a big shark says: “I want that land”, and that’s happening already.

Lmao, Denmark has been paying these people for years.
Ungrateful people.

That’s where Russian and Chinese will come and make Greenland Great Again and use their resources.

That’s racism

I am going to be honest with you guys… if Greenland becomes independent, who really thinks they are not becoming a territory of the US?
I am not saying I agree with any of the methods of how they got there, but it’s the only logical conclusion.

Sure, but if you don’t want to be part of Denmark you are going to start facing a lot of economic issues.

also doesn’t want a Trump tower and all the resources to be stolen by American mining companies and leaving an environmental wasteland after them
AldrichOfAlbion on
I completely agree. A completely independent Greenland should then be able to trade with whomever they want!
Spiderhog2099 on
Fair enough. But make no mistake, independence in your position makes you incredibly vulnerable in front of Russia and/or China. You need NATO and/or the EU.

Nobody wants you to be anything. They just want your resources

Greenland, and indeed many people in the west, are stuck in the permanent teen phase, where you’re rebelling against your parents, because you think it’s their fault that you don’t feel like a person with self-agency.

Greenland has the right to choose and I support the right to liberty.

Independent Greenland. That would be a dissaster lol.

It’s incredibly stupid of them to push for independence at this time. They will be annexed before the independence party is over. And then it suddenly won’t be as fun anymore.

Fuck that corporation that’s is america!

That’s an opinion, Greenland is legally Danish.
Cyzax007 on
..then China will take them… great choice…
pc0999 on
It is just and fair.
Althought,and quite sadly, it seems military imperialism is well alive, I doubt they will be independent for long. The question is if by USA or Russia or some other power.
Bitedamnn on
Greenland being independent will never happen. Can’t fund itself. Can’t protect itself.
It would literally sell itself out to the highest bidder.
Chester_roaster on
I hope they get their independence soon.

This PM is an idiot if he thinks independence is in any way feasible.
Of course, he probably assumes denmark will keep on providing health care, defense and higher education for independent Greenland.

You’re going to be Chinese or Russian if you keep up that attitude. America is their best path forward.

Completely valid opinion to have.
