There are some truths in what you are saying. But I don't think Denmark wants to give up Greenland, I think they are ok with the money they pay (around $600 million per year). Denmark is a rich country so money is not a big deal.

Most of Europe and Canada.

Yeah let's start with the countries who think it is a good idea in that case, not forcing it on other countries.

> pay the Greenlanders each a million dollars, and have them vote to join the US That is not really how these things work. "Pay the Minnesotans 1 dollar each and let them vote if they want to join Canada".

Ok, so there are hardly any mines on Greenland today. Why would that change? There are easier places to put a mine and make it profitable. Look at Svalbard. There used to be mines but they closed down. And those rare earth metals. They are

Once, an angry guy tried to explain that the world does not revolve around me. I had to walk him away.

The only reason to get a car in Singapore is to give the tired father an air-conditioned place outside the crammed apartment to go and have a nap :).

> Why plural? Belarus and Ukraine Whoa there is a whole lot more! Chechnya to begin with. And South Ossetia i Georgia. And Transnistria In Moldavia. They take what is possible and need to be stopped.

Unfortunately probably closer to the truth. If you can not adhere you are not there.

I don't think the random sailor analogy is a perfect fit. If you guide your own direction too strictly you will both risk moving yourself into a dead end, but also miss out on unexpected opportunities.

2-3% of Ukraine's population are at the front lines. While the others are maintaining a reasonably functional society. There are so many counter examples to your proposal so I think you are just guessing. Where did the Civil War end up

No. That is really bloody and a last resort. And horrible for civilians. Bucha and Irpin are counter-examples. Russians should only be treated with a very long stick. Guerilla warfare is not winning, it is making things a huge mess.

What history shows that?

No it is not a last resort. It is a political weapon that helps you avoid war.

Europe has much stronger defense than e.g. Japan. Where did you buy your Kool-Aid? South Korea is a special case but so is Finland and Poland and Greece. Russia is a formidable enemy (although not nearly as competent as many thought before

A lot of people appreciate the declarative approach. A for loop is a lot about the "how" but apply, join etc are much closer to the "what".
