It's all so ironic considering Denmark took control of Greenland purely by conquest/claim and many Greenlanders view it historically as colonial/imperial.
But now Denmark is apparently upset that an even bigger, greedier bully is trying to take it from them?
I don't care about it one way or the other. I imagine an agreement will be made where USA gets something like 80% of the resource rights in exchange for Denmark getting to keep the title and then we'll all forget about this.

Isn't that what the US is doing based on this article? Create a bit of story around the people of Greenland wanting to free themselves from Denmark (even if just minority of Greenland believes so) and then come in as the hero?
- VWWHFSfQ 1y agoYes and it's unfortunate that Greenlanders don't get a say in who their conqueror is. But Denmark isn't the one that should be complaining about their ill-gotten loot being taken from them.
