That’s really not even close. Greenland isn’t even remotely self sustainable without Danish funding. It also has MPs in the Danish parliament. So yes while it technically has self-rule it’s still effectively a colony

- owebmaster 9mo agoGreenland is a colony, Austrália is not. The comparison makes zero sense
- lm28469 9mo ago> Greenland is a colony But it literally isn't... > On 1 July 1979, Greenland became a rigsdel (an autonomous territory) within the Kingdom of Denmark.
- dybber 9mo agoI’m just trying to explain how absurd the proposition is seen from a Danish perspective, and why we from Danish side will continue to say no, as and refer to the same thing as our PM’s have said again and again: this is for Greenlandic people to decide. They would have to vote for it, but all the parties in Greenland are against joining the US. So whatever proposal or threat of breaking down NATO that Trump will come up with will be met with a no from Danish politicians. It is simply not for them to decide. His only option seen from a Danish perspective is to use the military.
