Directly into American hands
Has he really thought things through or is he planning to sell his people to fill hos own pockets.
Independence is entirely unrealistic in his lifetime. They wont last a year without current economic support from Denmark.
Not 24 hours will pass from Denmark leaves till they are US vassal.
It doesn’t sound like he’s thought that through. As far as I know, Greenland barely has an economy, and without funding from a much larger nation or nation bloc, they won’t be able to survive. And that’s before getting to issues like military, trade agreements, etc.
They will always be dependent on someone. And while Denmark has done some despicable shit there in the past, it’s far better than China, Russia, the US, Canada, or most other entities they could depend on.
Denmark only gives Greenland 500 million Euros a year? US could 10x that amount and not even blink an eye. I wonder what concession Trump promised the leadership of Greenland.
Just don’t. Denmark subsidized you and if you become independent America comes (shudders)
Completely beside the point ofc…
but wtf is the guy wearing?
Crimea 2: Icy Boogaloo
Eu granting Kosovo independence was always like opening a pandora’s box, love to see it
Dunno, feels like the second Denmark signs an independence treaty, the fight between the US, Russia and China starts.
As the 3 are nuclear-capable, doesn’t look very good for Greenland. Unless the endgame is to become a frozen radioactive parking lot. /s
Would the Faroes be sustainable as an independent entity – they’ve been talking similarly to Greenland for decades, but their fishing grounds would appear to be their only major resource?
Don’t think that’s what he should be worrying about when there is a bonafide fascist about to take power in America and that fascist has expressed his desire to invade Greenland
This is modern day political warfare. Why do things directly, why attack, when you can brainwash foreign nations with political propaganda into doing exactly what you want to do to them, & make them happy about it!
Last time the subject of the US purchasing Greenland came up it was derided with mockery, but if Trump were actually serious there’s a decent chance he could do it. Offering a measly $10M to every man woman and child would only cost $500Bn, far lower than recent adventures to Iraq and Afghanistan. I’m not saying it should happen, just that the probability is not zero.
A ton of USA bots here
Nice well done Greenland. It’s one thing to not want to be part of the US but have some pride and leave Denmark for independence.
It’s like Scotland all over again just this time without the romanticism
Denmark doesn’t have the industries or the population to ever make us of the resources in Greenland, they should have cut them off years ago and saved the tens of billions they waste every year on aid, healthcare, education and other expenses.
Population of Giblartar +San Marino and size of Algeria + non developed economy.
EU membership is the thing that is ensuring their relative independence and freedom of choice. Once that’s gone, voltures will come to feast
Free Greenland!
If you’re curious about Greenland, you can see this beautiful low level flight with a Danish F-16:

Yes they need *independence from Denmark* as a first step to joining the USA.
If they decide its basically just suicide, they become a mine or a US vassal state, Denmark provide much better security for their people. Unless US is Willing to handout free unlimited education, free unlimited health care, workers rights, social security. I Honestly just dont see that happening, looking at the state of the US its a 3rd world country unless you are rich.
I’ll take “more independence movements with shady financing which are totally not being bankrolled by the Russians” for 4 trillion rubles
Denmark should make a deal with Trump by splitting Greenland from the Kingdom and stop all payments. Greenland is then forced to look for protection, which the US offers for extraction rights. In return Denmark gets a piece of the cake.
The US has deeper pockets and it’s just a question of time before the people in Greenland falter infront of so many $ signs. They are simple people that are too fine to even say “thank you” or show any sign of loyalty for supporting their entire existence. Without Denmark’s support they would not even exist today. So either you get something out of it or in a worse case just nothing.
The EU does not have the balls, brains nor the capability to do anything worthwhile with Greenland. While theoretically it would be awesome to extract well needed resources for the european green transition and for more european independence, The EU has shown that it cannot strategically think or act anyway. The EU is just weak, and in Trump’s world you are either a predator or dinner.
And just for clarity, I hate Trump and all the demagogues in the world. In my ideal world the EU would be strong, independent, reformed and united with an
european army that can protect it’s continental interests. But all we get is paper straws, non removable bottle caps, AI regulation and Orban.
Yes, we will miss them.
Anyway..
While the idea of an independent Greenland is very beautiful and would be nice, its not something that can just happen from one day to the next. Realistically speaking, greenlandic independence is probably *at the very least* 20 years away, and that’s still ambitious if you ask me. That’s just my take though.
