    I do not approve of empires. I don’t approve of Denmark having land in/near North America. I do not approve of the US having land elsewhere - we made the right decision with the Philippians to make them an independent country after winning it. (Guam makes sense as a US navy base, but otherwise should be an independent country, there are a few other islands in the area that US has that don’t have the population to be independent, but I support turning them over to New Zealand/Australia)

    That said, Canada is the obvious owner for Greenland if they can’t be an independent country, not the US.

      Just to address Guam, seems a weird situation. Watched an hour or two of videos on the subject and the natives seem split on remaining a territory and going independent. tl;dr: It’s complex.

        Sometimes people move in the right direction for the wrong reasons
