All things Greenland (1 Viewer)

Embarrassing moment for me, but I did not know until today that Greenland is part of Denmark. WTF?  I've seen almost all episodes of Vikings and Last Kingdom. They never covered that ####!

 
Greenland is also mushroom-shaped and just lies there on top of us and seeps distressing fluid

ETA: In addition to misrepresenting its size, of course....

Hi @msommer, please send Denmark a calligraphied note, 'America is feeling a tad under the weather right now. She'll be back soon. Please don't hold anything we might do or say until she emerges from the sanitarium. - Kind regards. - s/ America.

- I actually have a friend in Copenhagen, I may just do this.

I’m 99.99% sure Trump would hate Copenhagen.  No burgers, well designed buildings, and they protected the Jews there during WWII.

Dude, please. We have burgers.

Thanks - make that two friends. And I'm pretty sure most Danes know this.

Some years ago we elected a clown to be a member of parliament, in that I believe we were pioneers. Neither the clown, nor the public liked the experience, so since then politics has been rather clown free (still plenty of idiots involved).

So we can sympathize when this befalls you, although you went "hold my beer" on what office he was elected to

I sincerely hope that you (broadbrush all Americans) learn from the experience

 
I zoomed in on a few cities in Greenland on Google Earth.  It makes Alaska look like NY City.  There's nothing there.  I wonder if there was even a purpose behind this or if he was just picking a fight with Denmark.

Rare earth metals, for one.

And location, location, location for another.

Probably taking another cue from the Russians, who are actually amid a Siberian landrush the last year or two

Land is always going to pay off in the long run.

Besides it being absurd because it wasn’t for sale and we are broke as it is buying Greenland would have actually been pretty amazing for little donald.

 
>>The territory also has "untold" economic potential in mineral wealth, Cotton said.<<

- That is, some massive mining donor was probably openly wishing.

- This reminds me of the bad FF trade offer where the owner thinks he’s the only one in the world who knows that someone’s WR5 is about to get the starting job and emerge.

Tom Cotton says oh hell yeah it was his idea.

It consistently amazes me that Trump-era Republicans refuse to see the wants and needs of actual human beings as important or even relevant. Cotton, like Trump, doesn't even acknowledge the existence of the native Inuit people in his comments, let alone take into consideration their own needs, priorities and desires for their homeland.

Perhaps I should be numb to it by now, but I'm not. Every time it happens I'm angered again.  And also a bit frightened, because incredibly powerful people devoid of empathy generally doesn't turn out well for humanity.

I assumed we would give them eviction notices, like when a new owner takes over an apartment building.

 
If it was Cotton that came up with the idea will they rename it Cottonland?

Will they change the National Anthem to "Dixie"?

Maybe they can move all the Confederate statues there.

I'm beginning to like this idea

Another tidbit: Greenland has the highest suicide rate in the world.  Several reasons are blamed for Greenland's high rate of suicide, including alcoholism, depression, poverty, conflict-ridden relationship with spouse, dysfunctional parental homes.  According to a report published in 2009, the suicide rate in Greenland increases during the summer. Some researchers have blamed insomnia caused by incessant daylight.

Greenland's population is +80% Inuit. Inuit suicide rates are highest among indigenous people around the world. So there is a cultural factor as well.

 
Yay! New report out that Trump “joked” about trading Puerto Rico for Greenland because Puerto Rico wasn’t grateful enough. 

What a great President.
