    Greenland is already calling bullshit. No, there is no “massive oil, gas and mineral exploration” underway.

      And yet the US will try anyway. Denmark and Greenland called their deal with the US necessary to buy time but as a Canadian it was a short sighted call that invites far worse US trouble. Denmark and Greenland should have put their foot down.

        Yes, though not immediately. Ultimately, the Danish military would probably have to repel the invasion.

          the Danish military would probably have to repel the invasion.

          Hopefully not before first inviting the president there for an impromptu “breaking ground” ceremony on his new oil well.

    […] weeks after Washington secured permanent military control over Greenland

    Interesting way to say “the situation remains the same since WW2”.

      It never mattered. This is what fascists do. Its why you can’t give them easy victories. Even if you think they are meaningless they just ignore it and take even more. Greenland isn’t going to sieze anything. That gambit has been made. The US is gonna do what it wants now.

    I know that no Western country has a spotless record, but… I’m surprised the US government isn’t trying to exterminate the local population with infected blankets.

      That’s so 1600’s. They’ll achieve a similar outcome by forcing American style healthcare and food regulations on Greenland.
