Not by force. More of a cultural infiltration, one might say a corruption. Greenland is an autonomous territory, so if America could persuade them to join the battle would be halfway there. The Danes would be culturally a hard nut to crack though, more interested in community and work life balance etc
I guess America could offer a bit more of an exciting existence for the local inhabitants, a bit of spritz... I'm imagining a glossy brochure right now: McDonald's and Starbucks replace the local bakeries. Geenland becomes new Hollywood for ice packed action blockbusters. Smoorebread are now 3x oversized, with the genius idea of putting another slice of bread on top. Cultural icons are replaced with Liberty statue in parka. Football on ice in, soccer out. The national anthem becomes a pledge to snow and ice. Snowmobiles replace road trips. Bikes out, big trucks in. The ones with the double tires at the back and a big farting exhaust. Drill baby drill for the gas. Everything is drive in now. No need to get out of your truck. Obesity booms, local TV is bought out and they advertise pharmaceutical solutions 24/7, including for a depression that they never had before. All this costs money so they need a Big tourism boom. Santa Claus now lives in Greenland. Every time the ice recedes they proudly mark it out. Progress!
All of us Americans could go and illegally immigrate there. To the point where there are more of us than there are of them and voila !!! Greenland is now America.
I wonder, how much tax payers' money is MAGA willing to spend to buy it? Here is what this is most likely all about. Greenland prohibits oil drilling and exploration of reserves in its territory. On the other hand, oil execs would LOVE to get their hands on Greenland's untapped reserves. Since they were large donors to Trump's campaign, they now want a return on investment.
You would have to count this Southern boy out because I don't do cold either. I think I would maybe die of exposure if I was to ever go north of the Mason-Dixon line.
I lived in an area that was -35 one winter. My car wouldn't start..... imagine that...and I had to call into work . I walked across a frozen lake to use an outside phone. Pure misery.
Europe cannot play the nanny for this guy. Trump has if he's lucky four years, but he is a pretty old man.
My two year old grandson resents that comparison. We saw him yesterday; very restrained and just wanting to play nicely with others.
2w54 Zz daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Good point. Particularly since Putin is into expansionism............and now Donnie is talking the same.
An aside: Sorry for that series of letters etc...my cat walked across my keyboard. Yikes. I had hoped she could spell .
Looks like kitty decided to reply. When I worked from home, mine would send out meeting invites and IMs
I know...... but I was distracted by the kitty.... (enter expletive here ) .If she wasn't so darn CUTE !!!
Yes. It IS very different. Denmark has a sizable military and is more than willing to defend their territorial integrity. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgzl19n9eko
No it is not! so very different! When was the last time the Assimilation of Hawai'i may have achieved your study try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hawaiians_(film)
Well that movie came out before I was born and reading through the plot was a major saga, so I had to get AI to help me understand why you are comparing them: Grok didn't seem to think there was such a similarity.
