To be fair, Trump tricked them into defending their own territory, for a change.

Greenlanders Speak Out Against Danish Rule

Quote:Greenlanders speak out against Danish rule after decades of forced sterilization, poor living conditions: ‘They stole our future’
Native Greenlander Amarok Petersen was 27 years old when she learned the gut-wrenching truth about why she couldn’t have children — and that Denmark was to blame.   Suffering from severe uterine problems, a medical doctor discovered an IUD birth control device in her body that she didn’t know she had. 
Danish doctors had implanted it when she was just 13 as part of a population control program for thousands of native Greenlandic girls and women.   “I will never have children,” Petersen told The Post, with tears of anger and sorrow welling in her eyes. “That choice was taken from me.”


While the government of Denmark officially apologized last year for decades of forced sterilization of Indigenous women and girls, the horrific mistreatment has cast a long shadow on the island that has become the center of an international ownership fight.


“The Danes don’t see us as humans,” Petersen said at a local Inuit restaurant overlooking Nuuk’s famous fjords. “They think we’re too expensive, too small a population. But they take our land, our children, our lives and expect thanks.”

Colonization. Take, take and take some more.

It’s what humans seem to do best since the beginning of time. Look at the history of the world and see the same damn thing over and over again.

None of this is surprising.

More than they know.

It looks like if the people of Greenland want to separate from Denmark, the EU will step in and prevent it. Trump wants to buy it or give the people a choice, the EU wants to force the Greenlanders to sit down and shut up about it. 

Weird how they keep saying that Trump is the issue here when it's seems to be the EU forcing the issue.


The more things happen the more they are seemingly stem from the 1815 Congress of Vienna.

Any evidence that the people of Greenland want to separate from Denmark?  The protests seem to contradict your unfounded assertion.

Oh yeah -- "they" think I don't understand SELF.

I understand self just fine.  

Wouldn't want to hurt anyone's sensitive ego -- by having thought humans could evolve past the animalistic "survival of the fittest".

They do want to be independent -- like Scotland wants to be independent.

How's that working out?

Not according to Scotland's referendum on the issue.
