Greenland USA

[FlyersFan]

Congress cannot just acquire a territory by a vote alone.

And a territory does not automatically become a state, does it? 

Congress has to vote and say yes.  So does the senate.
And Greenland would have to vote and say yes.
Pretty sure they would have to be a US territory first.
And that takes both congress AND Greenland saying they want to be a territory.

Here is the process GOOGLE AI ASSIST - A U.S. territory becomes a state through an Act of Congress, typically after its residents vote for statehood, draft and approve a state constitution, and Congress passes an "Enabling Act," followed by a final majority vote in both the House and Senate, and a presidential signature, though the process varies and requires Congressional approval. The Constitution grants Congress the authority to admit new states, with the most common path involving residents expressing desire for statehood, forming a state government, and then seeking admission

Please invade or buy us.

Hun ... you guys would have to pay us for you all to become Americans.
We wouldn't just take you in.

Problem being Greenland says "No."

And their residents are not expressing any desire for US statehood.

Quite the opposite by the looks of it.

So why there would be any sort of vote in Congress or the Senate is beyond me.

As to any sort of referendum, i agree, but that's something they would have to initiate, on their own, without pressure from the likes of Donald Trump.

Again, surprisingly based. But you've gotten two things wrong. First, England should listen to American statements regardless, because they've suffered centuries of having anyone with an iota of political independence leave and relocate to America, so their culture really can't generate anything more than a death-rattle shakeoff like Brexit, with no particular plan of what to do next. Second, the traditional values being diluted are that of a high-trust society, and surprisingly, it's not based on race in America in modern times as much as it is indicated by tribal self-protecting ingroups making outsiders feel threatened and abusing the social safety net. You might point to immigrants and race, because there is some of that along language lines, but the reality is much wider—look at the liberal academic ingroup takeover of news media, or the social justice warrior ingroup takeover of HR departments in corporate America. These ingroup/outgroup cancers are sand in the gears to a functioning high-trust society. Britain would do well to learn this, even if they want to portray everything as racism and fear of immigrants.

Only in your World-O-Ratcheting.

We have different reconciliation filters. 

What is a "High-trust society" and do you know what our national credit rating is?

Are liberal socialist-trending values a threat to that "high trust?"

Is high trust really a euphemism for "noble" values?

Values of the nobility of the people? The ethos of self sufficiency and a meritocratic societal contribution? 

Question. Is this a fair statement for you?

"It's not about the race of the people, but the nobility of culture the people prefer and promote that makes them either wanted or undesirable. You should work to survive.  You should uphold the rules of law and order. You should uphold these noble traditional values of self sufficiency and meritocracy. All races and peoples can nobly contribute to the greater good of this society together! These are of the highest priority to me." 

* IT'S A TRAP! 

Does it REALLY just come down to the existence of Welfare States, Nordic Models, or any country that doesnt uphold those traditional values being an affront to our greater ethos? Why are we right? 

Shouldn't we compare those models overall standard of living, poverty, crime rates, gun control, and culture of social safety nets before we start saying it failed? 

Paraphrased line from Weeds, Season 8:

We're not the UK, we're not France, Canada, Austrailia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Netherlands, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, or Israel. We are America! We take all major credit cards!

*And* high trust and credit ratings are different things...

Denmark has treated Greenland like a red-headed stepchild, starved and locked in the basement and ignored, for decades. 

Sure

But that's not the reason why US wants Greenland 

Making that argument is no different than arguing Venezuela was about drugs

[LightAngel]

It's corruption 

And people reveal how compromised they are when they readily go along with it

Yes indeed!

It was also corruption when they forced people to take vaccines if they wanted to keep their job, etc.


We, the people, need to stand together against the corrupted systems of this world.


Political corruption is all over this world, and the evil things some politicians (from all countries) are doing can only be stopped by the people.

We have systems that seem to protect themselves instead of the public, and that need to change.


I like my country because it is learning from past mistakes. I want everybody to know that the sad things that was done to some Greenlanders in the past, was also done to some Danes - so the crime wasn't only done to some Greenlanders - it was also done to some Danes.

Thank God Denmark has changed its ways, now we are helping the Greenlanders to become what they want to be.

The better people can treat each other the better our world will be. The fact that Denmark today is working with Greenland in a more respectful, collaborative way shows that nations are not frozen in their past.

They can evolve when people demand better!

"Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT"

Open and shut case right? Impeached immediately? This man is a stark-raving lunatic running on 10% brain function. It's embarrassing people still say "I voted for this"

No. I agree with him actually. By that logic, the Vikings that landed here and in Canada way before Columbus and his marauding Spaniards should have total claim to all North America.

So yeah. The Danes and Norwegians are the rightful owners of America.

Am I doing this right?
