Democratic socialism is actually a good governmental structure for a community of 50K people. At scale, not so much.

Greenland’s leader says he’s ready to talk to Trump | CNN
Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said on Friday he was ready to speak with US President-elect Donald Trump, who has said he wants control over the Arctic island, and urged respect for the island’s independence aspirations.amp.cnn.com
Not even in office. Wow wow wow
The Danes are a feckless people. The people of Greenland want to be Americans. They’ve always wanted that. And for us, we don’t have a choice. We have to get this done

Trump isn’t going to take no for an answer, which will be interesting to see how this goes If this is how we are going to negotiate with in the future with other countries.

The Danes didn't even discover the place... Eric the Red (father of Lief Ericsonn [one of the Actual discoverers of America]...) landed there after being exiled from Iceland for slicing up some disagreeable neighbors... Now much like here, the indigenous people already living there (if they were already there) probably have something to add to the story but as far as the Danish go they are known to be latecomers...
The Danes are certain to eventually either sell the place piecemeal, mine by mine, to the Chinese; or outright lose it to the Russians (possibly triggering a NATO response but I wouldn't be surprised if they all backed away and wouldn't fight for it, which would be Russias conclusion going in).. Niether of which gives us a legal right to just take it from them but there are plenty of good reasons why we should want it...
If the Danes had any sense they'd just sell it to us but given its part of their national Coat of Arms it's emotionally a bridge too far for them to consider (the sale)... Looks like our only play is to outbid the Chinese for the mines and forge an amended defense pact to protect our holdings...
A little NATO leverage helping hand here would be nice given that that particular piece of terrain would protect the rear of NATO's entire Northern flank...(not to mention Canada)...
That's where "the" Donald needs to unleash his would be "oligarchs"... Let's get em pointed NE and get em cracking...! Buy those mines and then station rotating NATO troops in key positions all over the island..., (With our guys holding the Really key positions...).

Danish PM ‘happy’ after poll shows Greenland doesn’t want to be American
U.S. President Donald Trump is obsessed with taking over the massive Arctic island. But locals aren’t convinced.
www.politico.eu
Greenland people don’t want to be American and Danes have said that Trump can negotiate for a bigger military presence and even mining rights. France and Germany (and entire EU?) are willing to send troops to defend Greenland, too, if the military option is desired. The bully will be forced to take the Danes offer.

If the EU (basically NATO) actually sends enough troops to defend the place then we Win without firing a shot or spending a dime...
Is "the" Donald capable of playing 4d chess?
Maybe he's not as dumb as many seem to think he is.. 🤣

Denmark to increase military spending in North Atlantic by $2 billion amid row with Trump over Greenland
The Defense Ministry in Copenhagen said those will include three new Arctic naval vessels, two additional long-range surveillance drones and satellite capacity.

What happens if Russia invaded Greenland? Story, Nimitz did not want to try and take back the Aleutiens from Japan knowing the Japanese could never keep an army supplied there. Any ships sent were ships not going somewhere that matters.
If Russia takes Greenland, it is war. How are Russian ships and planes going to resupply it? Their losses trying to would be extreme.
Yeah, the Russians just don’t have the stomach for those heavy loss conflicts do they?
Sure they would... But they only need to hold strong points on the northern Coast...
What about NATO losses? Have you factored those in...
My guess is NATO wouldn't have the stomach to defend it... Which is why deterrence is the cheapest solution...
NATO would have to defend it. Left alone, Russia would claim the entire Arctic for its own. They even have some kind of loony geologic justification for it.
