Summary

Greenland’s five political parties issued a joint statement rejecting Donald Trump’s repeated calls to take control of the island.

Outgoing Prime Minister Mute Egede declared, “We Greenlanders will never be Americans.” Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen also dismissed Trump’s remarks, citing international law.

Trump’s comments come amid increasing geopolitical interest in Greenland due to its strategic location and valuable natural resources.

Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, remains financially dependent on Denmark, which controls its foreign affairs and defense.

    From the Spanish-American war, to the colonization of the Philippines, to carpet bombing Vietnam and South East Asia, to supporting Israels genocide and Middle Eastern policy, America have always been an imperialist oligarchy.

    Now the oligarchy, who own many of the worlds most powerful corporations, are stripping away the illusion of democracy for the world to see, and implementing a Putin mafia state inspired fascist dictatorship.

    America is a danger to the world, and should be treated as such.

    Cool!

    FWIW, they very recently had an election that was won by an all conservative/nationalist/right-of-center coalition iirc. “Food for Russian trolls” was my first thought.

    Let it be known that what goes for conservative/right-of-center in most of the world does not compare to MAGAGOP at all. The US political landscape translates to “one big centrist party and one big far-right populist party”.

      On the global stage, America doesn’t have a centralist party. It has a right party and an extreme right party.

      For comparison, the UK is relatively right leaning. The democrats are comparable to the UK conservative party. They are the most right leaning ‘main’ party.
