President Donald Trump has said previously that he is seeking U.S. ownership of Greenland, a Danish territory.

The Danish foreign minister has summoned the top U.S. diplomat in Copenhagen to explain a media report alleging that American nationals linked to Donald Trump are attempting to infiltrate Greenland and run covert influencing operations there.

    I mean, it’s not. Greenland has self-rule and parliamentary representation, and a generous bag of cash for running an arctic society delivered every year.

    What they don’t get a lot of is respect, which is unfortunate.

            Denmark has absolutely done many awful things in Greenland, and I am the first to argue for actual equality and reparations for transgressions.

            But they are not, politically, a colony at all. And reducing the question to be about a currency unit (which is pegged to the euro btw), is simplistic and disrespectful to everyone involved.

              It’s still stolen land dawg

              And, no, the Euro is a tool of financial imperialism that allows the metropoles to dominate the rest of the Eurozone and prevent the spread of communism. That’s it, that’s what it’s for. There is no sovereignty without currency sovereignity.

              Again, about as sovereign as a US state.
