It may not be in the next two years, but there are days when I wonder if we are headed to a third impeachment. A order like that would be grounds I would think.

Very warped, is how I describe Trump. And I suppose warped enough to be mad.

He's already provided multiple grounds for impeachment. Pardoning the J6 protesters is impeachment worthy. The birthright citizenship order is impeachment worthy. In fact, in the former case, impeachment is required by our notion of the rule of law. The birthright citizenship order is more optional, but the president should not be making policy pronouncements that everyone knows to be unconstitutional.

What will the US offer? Is it going to be Hawaii or will it be Puerto Rico/Guam/American Samoa level growth? I would think they would start as territories and then Republicans would forever prevent a bunch of people used to Scandinavian style government services from becoming a state. No Congressmen = very limited infrastructure money.

I would like for it to happen under the right circumstances, i.e. greenlanders vote to become part of the US. I don't think that will happen. Greenland is in a position of leverage. The US desperately needs its rare earth minerals and other resources to reduce the dependence on china. I think greenland could have its cake and eat it to if they chose the right negotiator. They could set up the residents for a long time and get full state's rights or limited rights depending on what they want. Or, they could negotiate a long term land lease that gives them the financial resources and gives the US sole rights to the resources. It's a good time to be a greenlander.

Read the article I posted from the Guardian. It was very informative on the mindset of greenlanders. Whatever happens, I hope we don't fuck them over and we get what we want and they get what they want.

I see that you're taken to aping my posting style. It's an effective technique. A word of advice: if you look like Roseanne Barr, trying on Zendaya's clothes isn't going to address the main problem.

I haven't. I will ALWAYS post respectfully when someone affords me the same courtesy. He attacked me unprovoked in the first line of his post. I feel no obligation to treat him respectfully. It isn't my nature at all but fuck people like that. They have no desire for good faith discussion.

The firm that did that survey is called Patriot Polling which has a one star rating from 538 and is ranked 249 out of the 282 pollsters they rate. Oh, and it was also their first time conducting an international poll.

The idea that *anyone* in this country knows how to poll Greenland is hilarious. Polling firms in this country have spent a decade and probably at least hundreds of millions of dollars collectively trying to figure out how to poll the US. Greenland?

Full states rights? While DC and Puerto Rico still don’t?

What Greenlanders want is independence. But there are only 68,000 people there.

Maybe Apex or Huntersville should get full states rights….they have about the same number of people.

Greenland is in a far better position to negotiate for whatever they want. When PR, DC, apex and huntersville discover the 2nd largest deposits of rare earth minerals in the world they too can be in a position of power. They could ask for $50,000 per resident per year and it wouldn't be but a drop in the bucket for the value of the resources and expanded military possibilities. They nor Denmark have the finances to develop the island.

US Law obligates the United States to come to the defense of Greenland in the case of invasion, and that would be the best defense the military could offer.

That Guardian article was informative. Thanks for posting it.
 


It’s called self-defense. I guess n Trump’s view Zelensky and Ukraine should’ve laid back and enjoyed it.
