The Danes don't hang onto it by force. And maybe this inspires them to hold a referendum.

But there are advantages to being part of Denmark. Especially since there are only 60K or so people.

    - The point is that NO ONE has been able to give a compelling reason. - Chris94 - 6:06pm 1/6/26
      - National security. DJT's words, not mine. He said Russia & China ships are all round the area. [NT] - ELP - 6:47pm 1/6/26
        He's lying. - Chris94 - 7:11pm 1/6/26
        See. That's is your predictable response to a compelling reason. Told you so. - ELP - 8:08pm 1/6/26
        "National Security" is a vague generality, not a compelling reason for anything. - Chris94 - 8:29pm 1/6/26
        What's pointless is trying to give you an explanation because no explanation will be good enough. - ELP - 11:05pm 1/6/26
        How about just one explanation? [NT] - Chris94 - 11:20pm 1/6/26

        Sure, whatever. No one in the USA makes that call. [NT] - Chris94 - 6:42pm 1/6/26

    - Huh? [NT] - jimbasil - 4:15pm 1/6/26
      - Is Greenland a topic you're willing to discuss without a chaperone? [NT] - iairishcheeks - 6:07pm 1/6/26
    - That's not the question [NT] - Chris94 - 4:10pm 1/6/26
      - It makes no sense as a territory of Denmark, especially considering the civil rights abuses. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 4:37pm 1/6/26
        Again, not the relevant point. It's not like Trump is going to hand it to the natives. - Chris94 - 4:39pm 1/6/26
        I am in favor of an independent or self-determinate Greenland - iairishcheeks - 4:55pm 1/6/26
