An excellent example of how ridiculous applying financial thought to everything can be.
As a dane, having Greenland as part of the kingdom is as natural as being able to see with two eyes. It may not serve a essential function in my everyday work but it would feel as a unconditional loss to me if I gave it away for any sum.
You really can’t rationalize it, but for a nation that once was the superpower of the north, Greenland as the very last reminant of the empire is not something we will give up freely. The obivious (and slightly heartbreaking) exception is to give it up to the Greenlanders themselves as is being done gradually.
- insertnickname 9y agoI'd be happy to "give" Greenland independence (as if I have any right to deny them independence). I do not pine for the days when Denmark was a mighty bully. Now we're just a small bully—holding on to Greenland the Faroe Islands and pushing around the Afghans, Iraqis, and whomever else NATO tells us to bully—and that's plenty bad enough.
