> If the American press had given me 20 minutes of airtime I could have convinced everyone they don’t want to get involved with Greenland. We’re not tough enough as a people to survive in Greenland, much less “take it over”. Greenlandic people shrug off horrific injuries hundreds of kilometers from medical help with a smile. I watched a Greenlandic toddler munch meat from the spine of a seal with its head very much intact. We aren’t equipped to fuck with these people, they are the real deal. Wow.

The US has long since wanted to purchase Greenland, not "fight" them, for strategic reasons. I'm not sure why there is this fantasy that the US is going to fight the Greenland people? Honestly.

  Because the US was threatening to take over Greenland by force maybe? There's a reason Denmark rushed soldiers there.

  The president of the United States literally said that they were going to get Greenland, one way or another. If I were to say "I'm going to get Dionian's house, one way or another" would you not prepare yourself for an invasion?
