        Less than 4,000. The 15% includes a 9% bloc of undecideds. The remaining 6% is getting preeeeetty damn close to Lizardman’s Constant territory

        Closer to 9000. You number math’s out to there being more people in my graduating class than currently living in Greenland. I didn’t grow up in that big a town.

      Six percent of Greenlanders want Greenland to become part of the United States, while nine percent are undecided on the question.

      Not Greenland, but the CBC did find a guy that wanted Canada to be part of the US. That dude’s entire motivation in life was money and didn’t seem to have any thoughts on any other subject.

          Sure it was only the voting public’s marginal preference at one point in time and it matches exactly with Russian geopolitical aims and it’s a non-binding referendum pushed by moneyed interests and it was never going to be a good idea but that’s what it looks like to have a mandate for abandoning free trade, international standards, freedom of movement, and a privileged status in the federation.

    The Danish minister of foreign affairs thought it was really important that Trump said in his idiotic speech that he recognised the self-determination of the Greenlanders: ‘(Trump) said (they) respect the right to Greenlandic self-determination, and that I think was the most important part of that speech, …’

    Like anything that Trump says matters (besides, if it did matter, being the bare minimum anyway).

    The butt-licking is quite offensive.

      I’m not sure, that this is buttlucking, but much more of showing publicly what the people actually want, because Trump would describe his possible invasion as liberation of those poor people - put maybe he still will do that, as there are seemingly 6% idiots

        6% is minority. Which means they are oppressed. Quick! They need help!

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.
