57k people in the entire country. Doesn't seem like a great idea when Trump is talking about annexation and they're sitting on trillions in natural resources... Unless you're amenable to being annexed. Pretty sure the US is getting a new territory.
While it would certainly be nice if they were independent and stayed independent... yeah... America's whole thing is colonizing vast swathes of land.
The majority (like 89%) are Inuit, it’d be nice if both the USA and Denmark could leave them alone.
Give Greenland a nuke!
Greenland already has a Nuuk!
Give them another one Xi
Wait only 57,000 people live there? There's more people living in the suburbs where I grew up.
Yeah, I had to double and triple check the numbers. It makes sense, it's not exactly a life friendly environment.
I mean those resources are going to land in US pockets with 99% probablility anyway, so they might be hoping for at least some control and getting bribed on national scale, like Saudis, but even more since there's much less of them.
I was at an arctic conference in 2018, and there were a few talks about Greenland which seemed weirdly focused on China investing in their resources. So it is possible that Trump is aware of this and wants to wrest control from Chai-nah. Though I don't know how the situation has evolved since then.
I very much doubt if China want to contend with USA right under their nose, but it's certainly possible that US is fearing that scenario.
