    I am Danish and have been to Greenland. This is seriously impressive, because the people of Greenland are the absolute nicest I have ever met.

    Story time: I was getting a lift from a local on his boat, when we passed a small dingy out in the middle of nowhere. The two Greenlanders (a mother and son) in the dingy waved us over to show us all the salmon and cod they had caught. Then they refused to let us leave, before giving us half of their fishy riches. The mother told us “if you had a giant apple tree in your garden, wouldn’t you share the apples with all your townsfolk”.

    I fucking love Greenland and their people.

    Wow.

    I wish we could find people in our government half as committed to a living wage as they are to the Vances’ PR.

    I can’t help thinking if we all allow one nation to be taken over by a superpower because they want it, how long before it becomes normalised

    Every small nation needs to be considered

    I personally think it is for minerals not security The western World was supposed to be past this taking what you want because your bigger

    I would say yee and when that asshole would show up, I would open the door, throw shit in his face and close the door. His secret service would get me, I know. But the idea of this is wonderful.

    Was listening to some YouTube video today and he described the scene as having military dudes behind him or something instead.
