Canada Strong multiculturalism and inclusive citizenship policies, official bilingualism, legal protections for minority rights.
Sweden (Nordics broadly: Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland) High social trust, strong welfare states, civic-minded public culture and broad social solidarity.
Netherlands Traditions of liberal pluralism, rule of law, strong protections for civil liberties and immigrant integration programs.
Switzerland Civic federalism, direct democracy, multilingual accommodation and strong local autonomy.

Canada, LOL!
Bilinguism is official only in New Brunswick province, out of 'em all. Then there's still a lot of strife between the native and the canadian, especially since the discovery of children bones buried behind an old orphanage for native kids a few years ago, of which they actually had stolen from their families, but yeah, Canada.
As for "inclusive policies", it's basically "don't care if you don't speak french nor english, as long as you can work. Of course it's inclusive lol.
As far as the apple tree is concerned, there's probably not much difference between a worm and a human...

Quote:Joint statement by the Foreign Ministers of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden on 6 January 2026.
As Nordic countries, Arctic States and NATO allies we are collectively committed to preserving security, stability and co-operation in the Arctic. We have all taken steps to increase deterrence and defence in the region, including through new capabilities, activities, presence and increased situational awareness. We support NATO increasing its presence and vigilance in the region. We have substantially increased our investments in Arctic security and we are ready to do even more in close consultation with the United States and other NATO allies.
Those are like all my favorite European countries. They all have flags that look similar, and they make a lot of the music i listen to. And they're being so nice and diplomatic too.
Although that sounds like a very achievable way to secure the Arctic region (from China/Russia) without forced annexation, and accomplish ALL of Trump's defense goals, I dont think that dog's gonna hunt.
Shall we write the NATO eulogy yet? Or just keep freaking out about having to write it so much it makes the Trump administration go out of their way to prove us all wrong?
Because that could work too..

Yet another thread has devolved into unrealistic declarations of troops in Greenland
it would be more interesting to discuss more likely scenarios, you know, those above 10% chance of happening.

Was reading another thread and found this, it’s explains the real reason for the interest in Greenland and also a model they would like to introduce on American soil too.
"A handful of wealthy, politically connected Silicon Valley investors are reportedly eyeing Greenland’s icy shores as the site for a techno-utopian “freedom city.”
That’s according to a report from Reuters, which details a proposed effort to establish a new, libertarian-minded municipality characterized by minimal corporate regulation and a focus on accelerating emerging technologies like AI and mini nuclear reactors. Supporters of increased economic development in Greenland argue its frigid climate could naturally cool massive, energy intensive AI data centers. Large deposits of critical and rare earth minerals buried beneath the island’s ice sheets could also potentially be used to manufacture consumer electronics.
The so-called “start-up city”—which bears similarities to another ongoing venture in California’s Solano County—reportedly already has the backing of PayPal founder Peter Thiel and Ken Howery, President Donald Trump’s pick for Denmark ambassador. If confirmed by the Senate, Howery would lead US discussions to acquire Greenland. In that role, Howery could potentially act as a bridge linking the audacious freedom city investors with the US government. “
The above is taken from the thread about cripto currencies on the last page right on this website.

So you weren't suggesting it was likely to happen?
While it's not impossible, it's highly improbable, especially in 2026 with the midterms?
It's all about the odds of it actually occurring
There are lots of scenarios that have about the same low probability
Will the opinion Trump will order the United States' military to invade and occupy Greenland?
And is it likely enough to warrant serious discussion?
There is more than a handful of Greenland scenarios that are likely more probable than Uncle Sam invading Greenland, aren't there?

I read something a little fanciful re Greenland, more than military/mineral opportunities, kinda sci-fi stuff, just today.
It was interesting in a kinda flat earth scenario.
Probably nonsense, probably more to do with shipping routes than anything, just strange why it’s never been important till now
I can’t see the US sending in the military, kinda can but in a way the English invaded Greenland in WW2, gently.
What I have noticed is (outside of Epstein files) Trump doesn’t just talk, he does what he says he is going to do
Take it or leave it, I don’t have a clue. Sure would break NATO and I don’t think the US needs NATO now
