And if Denmark says “nope, no survey”. Then what?

"Immense political pressure can be exerted to force a survey" Ok, what pressure - other than violence - will be brought to bear on the poor Greenlanders. Sounds more and more like voting in the Donbas.

"The native people of Greenland need to however be surveyed " And if they say "no - no survey"? Then what?

No need for that here.

Yeah on second reading that was inappropriate. Mea culpa But they do - in the most literal sense - just add integers to both sides of the ledger. And then go out and buy stuff with it.

I thought I would garner these comments above and the down-votes :) So as requested. Actually I see its 14 central banks that have this USD FX swap facility (but the BoE, ECB, and BoJ are essentially uncapped). My sources: 1. I did some ear

So why then does the bank of England have and need the right* to print as many USD as they need, whenever they want. If they only use sterling? * - along five other central banks

Trying so hard to fend off Russia, but they can't put Taurus missiles on a truck and drive them to Kiev? Converting the Ford factory in Detroit into a tank factory is "trying hard".

I think Venezuela should take this to the ICC. (The ICJ is irrelevant).

Is it? Are we — as a species — really going to spend until eternity grovelling around on the ground? If not, then we need personal aircraft.

‘There is no reason any western country would put sanctions on a democratic entity.’ Bollocks, there is a very good chance that the USA is going to do exactly that to the Republic of South Africa.

Nonsense, the currently alive young Britons are not the Britons that ran HK as a colony; they think the idea was terrible and have no desire to reintroduce it. Its a common fallacy to accuse alive people of hypocrisy done by other people wh

‘ WW2, you can talk as much smack about America or praise opposing regime’ Perhaps, but what you cannot do in over thirty states is criticise Israel and then do business with a government organisation.

A healthy reminder that Hawaii became a US state AFTER Tibet became a Chinese province. An lest one suggest that it was the result of a peaceful referendum, know that the US congres apologised for the entire project, including the migration

I stand corrected, its not what my country's universities do. But the thought of a theology student being forced to pass a course in evolutionary biology has made my day.

I don't understand the Mossad comment - unless its just "ooh they're so scary" fanboy stuff. Let's suppose Netanyahu is somehow arrested and held in a highly secure government prison in The Netherlands awaiting his

"In fairness, the US has a pretty good record when it comes to invading continental Europe." Only by using the UK as a staging post - and then invading a country that wanted to be liberated with an active partisan network. So, if

"Most European countries … are completely dependent on the USA for defense" Only if invaded by Russia and possibly China. And even then only the little peripheral ones. UK, Germany, and France could handle Russia - up to and inclu

What’s telling is they don’t make the liberal arts student take any hard science electives.

The usa couldnt handle Aghanistan. Now they are invading continental Europe? As I said, still licking the car battery.

If China can survive — and even start to thrive without ASML and TMSC, then have no doubt that should push come to shove Europe will be able to run a mail server and some office tools. They’re just hedging that American politics will stop

'Tibet was absolutely a sovereign nation. I guess it depends what you mean by "recent"' The rest of the world notes from afar that Hawaii became a US state in 1959 , whilst Tibet entered the PRC way back in 1951. In 19

"so legally the jet can't even fly anywhere else other than China for now." Or countries could just accept Chinese type certification alongside the FAA, EASE, and TC certificates. Granted, it would only be for domestic or reg

Can you clarify this for me: the Soviets don't exist, so how can they possibly take the whole of Japan - in some future? If you mean Russia, then no.
