Why the hell is Greenland Danish?

Like, how the fuck did they get their hands on that massive island?
>>
>>17407425
They discovered it
>>
>>17407425
Greenland is much smaller than it looks on the map and it's also sparsely populated
>>
>>17407425
The habitable area of Greenland is a thin coastal area on the Western coast.
>>
Greenland's population is like 50,000 people and most of its land is inaccessible arctic wasteland. It has very few resources and mostly the population there (equal to one small city in America) subsists almost entirely off of fishing and a little bit of mining.
>>
I wonder if the US will develop a bias towards using Mercator maps after annexing Greenland
>>
>>17407425
Greenland was like the Wild West of viking times. All the violent retards went there after getting kicked out of the civilized states.

The USA will never annex Greenland, they have nothing to offer and their money is worthless.
100 years ago maybe it could have worked.
>>
>>17408033
The USA will probably annex Greenland, it has strategic value and there is a lot of growth potential
>>
>>17407425
imagine playing CIV and you can see all future resources in tiles. this is what denmark was doing when they claimed the place.
>>
>>17408036
Too bad the USA is too weak and uninteresting for even Greenland.
You still haven't said what the USA have to offer to Greenland, so I assume there is nothing to offer.
The american lifestyle is gone, it's dead, and the money is printed inflationist bs.
>>
>>17408071
>offer
vae victis
If the US wants to, it absolutely can. There's nothing anyone can do about it
Russia and China may seethe and cope at the next UN meeting, but what else can they do?
>>
The Norwegians settled the island then come under the Danish throne. After the Napoleonic Wars Denmark lost Norway but was allowed to keep it's oversee positions. Unlike Iceland, Greenland's population was small enough to keep under control so it remains part of Denmark today though has an extreme amount of autonomy.
>>
>>17408079
Who talk of what they can do instead of simply doing it of not the weak?
The buying Freeland thing is just to occupy the american electorate.
The to do list is getting big as fuck, it's just comedy or theater.
>Russia or China
Europe would see governements fall over the taking of Greenland, that's exactly what would be needed to shake off the judeo-american occupation of the continent since WW2.
I'd say do it if you dare the results would be catastrophic, that's why the USA would want try to buy it instead but alas it's a guaranteed failure.
>>

>>17408122
there's definitely a lot of posturing and political theatre, but I don't think America is bluffing the same way China is with Taiwan for example
America can comfortably take over Greenland by offering Denmark a deal it can't refuse. The rest of the EU will cuck to American interests as usual, especially if there is money to be made. Most of EU is jewed as much as America anyways, maybe Ireland and Spain are the exceptions.
>>
>>17408122
The USA already takes everything they want from Greenland. Mineral resources to US or Cucknadian companies, military bases, etc, Danish sovereignity is only nominal on paper.

The only thing the USA don't control and would like to is the territorial waters, as the sea lanes of the Arctic region in general will be quite important in the not so distant future. Overall, Greenland is of substantial strategic value to the USA. It's basically a warning to Denmark: Greenland must serve US interests or else you lose it and we annex it.

And no, the EU wouldn't do anything beyond a formal protest or something like that.
>>
>>17408079
>There's nothing anyone can do about it
Except cut America off from the entire world
>>
>>17407425
I am sure there is money going on to the wallets of the president of Greendland...so he accepts going independent from Denmark and joining the USA.

And there are probably lots of minerals under the massive frozen area of Greenland. Maybe billions of tonnes of gold. Also hundred of thousands of frozen mamuts and even Neanderthal humans.

The buying of Greenland is a PR stunt aimed at the american electorate nothing more.
Denmark is a well runned country, of it was not the case things could change I guess but it's not the case.
>offering Denmark a deal it can't refuse
War is the only deal that cannot be refused, the rest is just a posture again so that the Americans can feel good about how they could still expand.
Expansionism and interventionism is one hell of a drug, it's the fentanyl of the empires.

>>17408284
>The EU won't do anything
That's what you don't understand, the EU is not the Europe and it do not serve the European interests, the EU is how American keep on submitting the Europeans to the american domination born from world war 2 and the fear of your best ally, communism.
Of the EU fall the american domination is compromised, Europe is dying from this and it'd be stupid for Greenland to want more of this.
>Greenland must serve US interests
No, a nation serves its own interests first, everybody thinks like that, no one think of saving the USA above their own nation lel.
You look like a mess, you don't even serve your own best interests it's all about Israel and globohomo.

Better or worse, I'm french Canadian typing on a mobile phone that keep correcting me by twisting every words into some unexplainable english bs.
For exemple whenever I type "french" the corrector twist it into French's, the brand of mustard..

But anyway my appreciation of the geopolitic surrounding the Greenland I just wrote on a napkin without much thoughts is better than the childish shit I've read so far in this thread, it's embarassing.
At this rate the american domination over Europe by using the EU won't last long and that's a good thing because it's the home of the white men, and america is the death of the white men.
It didn't had to end up like this.
>>
>>17407425
It's a large chunk of ice and Rock with little value beyond fishing, no one else wanted it.
Plus, the Danes had a pre-existing claim to it via their union with Norway, to which norse greenland nominally belonged.
>>17407503
That was Iceland, Greenland was the place those who couldn't make it in Iceland went to. Such as Eric the red.
>>
>>17408071
The US absolutely could and would pull a "special military operation" for Greenland if they started being "uncooperative". It would defintely be a turning point, as the US selfishly and callously annexes land from the "EU", theyre really might be questions between the relationship between Europe and America, but the EU is cucked anyway.

The European elite and popular culture are completely tied to the US. They're deathly afraid of China and Russia and are too weak/divided to form a pole of power themselves. They'd be forced to accept a Greenland annexation, like the American cuck slaves they are.
>>
>>17409905
If the EU is fucked then America is fucked, because the EU is the american satellisation of the European nations.
Everyone in Europe hates the EU, it's not elected by the population.

>The European elite and popular culture are completely tied to the US. They're deathly afraid of China and Russia.
Russia is European so it doesn't make much sense what you just wrote.
The fear of China concerns pretty much only the USA, also Russia used to fear China because of the Russian low demography and the emptiness of Siberia but now they are forced to get along because of geopolitical reasons.
And the elites are all the same everywhere, they are bitches that sell their asses to the highest bidder, look at that retard Elon Musk the king of pajeets how ridiculous he is, he is an south african elite that went to the USA and now he is surfing on the inflationist monetary system while barely producing anything interesting; Toyota has 12% of the car sales while Tesla has only 1.77%, and 99% of the people have no idea who the president of Toyota is; more people know that Musk is level 80 on some stupid video game though.

What the US could really use is both Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Islands. That would give us full control over the Northwest Passage and over half of the Arctic Ocean.

Europeans are cucks. Right now the UK is letting fucking MAURITIUS bully them over island territories AND making them pay for the pleasure.
Fact is all of you are Americas bitch and if Congress wanted they could send the US army to take all of Denmark and all of you would have to just shut up and take it because the alternative is footing the bill for your own défense against Russia.

It won't. Greenland will be independent, but US can have military bases there.

Denmark is the most cucked vassal of the US in Europe, they were even spying on other European countries for the US. If the US wants Greenland all they have to do is to notify Denmark and those cucks will be like "thank you master".

You know exactly what I mean.
Average EU cuck is afraid of Russia and hates it for not being gay enough or whatever bullshit. This despite Russia is the only way Europe can stand on its own.
>And the elites are all the same everywhere, they are bitches that sell their asses to the highest bidder,
That's what I mean, retard. They worship wealth, which the US will always be the nexus of. But additionally, the European elite is culturally dominated by rhe US, your libshits and leftist who dominate you, only do so in the footsteps of American leftists. Ask yourself why europe, especially Germany, would so suicidally support Ukraine, besides they're complete domination by the US.
The recent European recession is entirely based off their Severing of economic ties with Russia.


>Musk rant
Exactly, the globohomo elite are rootless, but they're homes lie within the US.
>>
>>17411385
>People were already there when the Scandinavians arrived
Wrong. When Scandinavians discovered it and moved in there it was still uninhabited. The current Greenlandic Inuit who live there now migrated to Greenland around four centuries after the Norsemen. Besides the Norsemen (>1200 years ago) and the Greenlandic Inuits (~800 years ago), there had been even older peoples who lived on the island and cyclically died out and got replaced, but the most recent ones were already at the died out stage and thus never got to meet the Norsemen. The Greenlandic Norseman experience was settling an uninhabited land, which centuries later would get a new non-Norse population (Greenlandic Inuits) moving in from Canada, and who would eventually replace the Greenlandic Norsemen.
>>
>>17408019
Greenland is living on gibs already as is, it simply doesn't have the means support anything of value or any significant population under current climactic conditions.
>>
>>17408382
Maybe some of us 4channers can make a new life mining for gold in central Greenland once Trumphff annexes and we can all get nice Danish-Inuit gfs and have little fireplaces. They do have good internet there though, right?
>>
So why is it ok for Denmark to have American land but when we claim it it’s bad?
>>
>>17411392
The Russia culture is not asiatic, it has influences at best, unless you are ready to consider that america is african because of the insane importance they put in the negros they have.

>>17411397
I was thinking about something today, like what if they gave tons of gold to Greenland instead of paper money? But then everyone would begin to want gold and silver instead of monopoly money or virtual numbers in a screen.

>>17411406
>if Congress wanted they could send the US army to take all of Denmark and all of you would have to just shut up and take it because the alternative is footing the bill for your own défense against Russia.
You are projecting the american problems on others. Only the Baltic nations and Ukraine are truely scared of Russia, for the rest it's the elites that are scared, the population isn't scared at all except the brainwashed.
Wtf would Russia do anyway, give them cheap gas, energy and ressources? Lel.

>>17411988
>Average EU cuck
EU fucks are the elites, the population hate the EU because it's an American creation, France for exemple rejected it with a referendum but Sarkozy the jew imposed it anyway, the same guy that sold France's gold at its lowest value possible and.destroyed Libya to get the niggers in.
The EU is a goner anyway, France's deficit won't be paid by Germany so the false union will crash sooner or later.
Europe is filled with American military bases anyway I don't have to tell you that.
>>
>>17409905
Greenland is not even in the EU, albeit. Also the fear of Russia has been exagerated and pushed by anglo-american (ZOG) actors, particularly to easily-baited people like Poles. And as for China, it's actually the anglo-american (ZOG) actors the ones polluting their pants with feces, not Europe. But the EU, in its current form and bureaucrats, is an american bitch indeed.

>>17411473
That's not the Danish way, even though they are used to losing clay. I mean, they even fought Prussia, Austria and all the other German states for Schleswig-Holstein...

But most likely the US won't notify anything but pull out some dirty schemes, false flags and briberies, as again, going by uses and traditions, that's the American way.

No, I did see a meme on instagram the other day where Lewis Clark and that Indian girl is looking at a beautiful landscape and they say imagine what we can do here and then there is a photo of them three again but instead of the beautiful landscape it’s a highway, McDonald’s and parking lot. I was also thinking of a band called ogre in their song plague of the planet they have a line that goes ‘world of parking lots and shopping malls, one day we’ll end up paying for it all, when the empire falls’.
>>
>>17413688
You really know nothing about European politics, the french population rejected the EU because it forces it to do globohomo american bullshit california-style.
Again, the EU is the tool of the USA to continue to control Europe.
Get rid of the military bases and the EU falls.
The pseudo capital of the EU being in Brussels is a good exemple, it's a running joke nothing more.
Anyway you should try to bring facts to this discussion and not your useless emotions and opinions.

>>17413516
>It was about European Constitution, not EU itself.
Thanks for proving me right.
The EU started as some coal-sharing loosely made relation.
It's as if the ALENA was used to get control of the USA with its "capital" based in Manitoba, and the analogy is perfect because the EU has no people, no military, no economy, it's all taken from real and historical nations that are forced to slowly give it something real every years.
It's an empty shell filled with air.
It's hard to belive how ignorant people are about the EU.
>>
>>17414526
>It's hard to belive how ignorant people are about the EU.
Well, you don't post any actual facts, just your extremely biased opinions.

Pretty much every poll shows that people support the EU. At least in the majority of EU countries.

You have no idea at all of what you are saying, it's embarassing.
>chose between X and Y and nothing else
>Pretty much every poll shows that people support Kamala Harris over president Trump
See what I did?
Polls, like any elections, are a pseudo-science, it's a progressist act by essence to answer to a poll, how many Amish for exemple answer polls?
I'd say zero because they are not progressists.
>>
>Eurotards mad that we are going to take what belongs to us BACK
>>
>>17414526
Most people support the idea of a European bloc, what is being contested is the way it works and the orientation of its policies on a variety of issues. But let's be honest, that's not the EU, that's most countries in Europe and the EU politically is simply a reflection of Germany dominated by CDU/SPD, France by Macronism, etc... so it's natural the imperfections at a domestic scale extrapolate at the EU scale.

Even worse, because the imperfections on issues like immigration, trade, foreign policy, etc get much bigger at this level and leave the individual countries in a position of indefension. Think for instance of the tariffs USA proposes against Denmark: International trade is competence of the EU, but the EU doesn't have the obligation to retaliate against tariffs imposed specifically against one of its members, and member countries don't have the authority to impose tariffs on other countries, so Denmark is fucked. It's pretty fucking obscene.
