Sometimes it really makes you think that we haven’t really gone much further than cavemen after all. Still the strong will take whatever they can whenever they want it. And sometimes even working together is not enough to resist injustice. Talk about development of humans and their intelligence.

What a vague situation.
> Greenland, a self-ruling Danish territory, voted in a referendum to leave the European Communities, a precursor to the EU, in 1982 and formally left the bloc in 1985 — though most of its roughly 60,000 citizens are Danish and therefore still EU citizens.
I’m going to speculate it’s First Nations people who don’t count as Danish citizens? Regardless, I’m not understanding the relevance.
Current situation: Threats to Danish EU citizens living in an autonomous territory of Denmark, an EU nation.
Proposed change to: Threats to Greenland/Danish EU citizens living in an autonomous territory of Denmark, with both Denmark and this territory being EU members.

Isn’t common fishery policy the big sticking point for Greenland?

that’d be so funny if the senile old fool in charge of the US ends up being the catalyst that make Greenland join the EU

The decision for Greenland to join any political union, or remain independent, should solely be for the Government and the citizens of Greenland to decide democratically in a referendum – and to be accorded full rights and statehood, as well as sovereignty within that Union.
Likewise, if they choose to leave, that’s their choice as well – it’s Greenlands sovereignty after all.
They should not bow down to threats from external sources.
Finally, if Greenland decides to apply to join, that decision needs to be ratified on the other side as well – it’s not up to any one person.

Why doesn’t the EU sponsor a vote in all countries in Europe(and their territories). Aimed at Greenland/UK/Norway/balkans/Iceland. On the vote split it down to
1. Full accession
2. Part(Norway style)
3 Swiss style
4. No but friendly
5. No completely
Gather the data from common folk, then push to the selected country/countries to join. People just want to know where they stand in this hectic world. The EU could provide that.
People saying you shouldn’t get involved in countries politics need to realise every country does it openly or covertly. The EU not being involved is what I believed cost David cam the remain vote, because he was to inept to deal with it himself.

or all european nations could just aggree to protect all european members territory. which should have been a default part of europes partneships.
europe urgently needs a defence pact. if trumps attacks one european nation he would be attacking all 27. followed by a comple break away in all trade whilst we railroad europe to china and just buy direct as everything is made in china.
I’m American and I didn’t know this until my cousin who’s currently serving told me. He says him and his buddies would love to be the ones to deploy there and that no one would stop them if they all showed up.

About Greenlanders without Greenlanders…

There’s still a US military base in Greenland, . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituffik_Space_Base
