I am Danish and have been to Greenland. This is seriously impressive, because the people of Greenland are the absolute nicest I have ever met.
Story time: I was getting a lift from a local on his boat, when we passed a small dingy out in the middle of nowhere. The two Greenlanders (a mother and son) in the dingy waved us over to show us all the salmon and cod they had caught. Then they refused to let us leave, before giving us half of their fishy riches. The mother told us “if you had a giant apple tree in your garden, wouldn’t you share the apples with all your townsfolk”.
I fucking love Greenland and their people.
Tolerance Paradox.
Part of being truly nice is being not nice to people who are not nice.
That sounds more like enabling than being nice. It can be nice to be honest and confront someone when they are being an asshole.
You seem to have misread the comment you’re replying to. It has two "not"s in it, and you missed one of them.
Totally did, you’re a champ for the correction. Thank you :)
Yep. As Bob Dylan eloquently said “don’t have nothing at all except hatred”
No one invited them into their home so they cancelled their visit and couldn’t go? Are they fucking vampires that need to be invited over a threshold? That’s hilarious, excellent job Greenland.
If the whole point of the trip was to get propaganda footage showing how much Greenlanders love and welcome the US and trump administration, the trip would be a waste of time without it.
Of course they are fucking vampires. Also each other, possibly.
Oh no, the locals don’t want to host the people who are trying to destroy their sovereignty and make them a vassal state because a dementia case wants to copy his idol Putin and do a territorial expansion. How dare they complain, I guess?
That is so embarrassing and good on the people of Greenland for not wanting to be part of that.
they hadn’t had time to sufficiently scotchguard their couches yet
“He gonna fuck what?”
Greenland good on you. Send the Nazis packing.
Wow.
I wish we could find people in our government half as committed to a living wage as they are to the Vances’ PR.
If they came to my door they’d be greeted by an air horn in the face. The “no soliciting” sign applies to everyone.
Unless you’re one of my neighbours. They’re cool. No need to make them deaf lol
Better yet, have an agreement with the neighbours that, if one horn goes off, all of them go off. Best way to get rid of pesky salesmen, Mormons and vice presidents.
Edit: spelling
Plastic couch covers aren’t popular in Greenland.
I can’t help thinking if we all allow one nation to be taken over by a superpower because they want it, how long before it becomes normalised
Every small nation needs to be considered
I personally think it is for minerals not security The western World was supposed to be past this taking what you want because your bigger
You’re right, and this is why Russia cannot be allowed to win in Ukraine.
I would say yee and when that asshole would show up, I would open the door, throw shit in his face and close the door. His secret service would get me, I know. But the idea of this is wonderful.
To no one’s surprise.
Two know, one’s surprise.
How many said that they would like to punch him in the mouth?
“Rabbi, is there a blessing for the Tsar?”
“A blessing for the Tsar? Of course! May God bless and keep the Tsar… Far away from us.”
Was listening to some YouTube video today and he described the scene as having military dudes behind him or something instead.
