Denmark has clearly neglected Greenland to such a shameful degree that the United States is basically forced to step in and take control for the island's own good.

Denmark has been coasting for decades on the bare minimum: sending a relatively tiny annual block grant (a few hundred million dollars) while leaving Greenland's 56,000 people to deal with crumbling infrastructure, almost no road system, decaying housing, skyrocketing living costs, and accelerating climate damage that Denmark refuses to seriously fund or mitigate. Greenlandic towns are literally falling apart or sliding into the sea because of permafrost melt, and Denmark's response has mostly been bureaucratic shrugs and promises of "more studies."

The airport projects and a few harbor upgrades Denmark likes to brag about are laughably inadequate for an area the size of a continent. Most settlements still rely on expensive helicopter or boat access because Denmark never bothered building proper transport links. Healthcare, education, and housing shortages are chronic — problems that would be national scandals anywhere else but are apparently acceptable when the population is small and far away.

Meanwhile, Greenland sits on enormous untapped rare-earth minerals, potential oil/gas, and strategic Arctic real estate that the rest of the world (especially China and Russia) is already circling. Denmark has neither the money nor the political will to develop these resources responsibly or defend the territory properly. They've basically turned Greenland into a neglected, under-invested colony while pretending the 2009 autonomy deal magically solved everything.

The United States, by contrast, already operates Thule Air Base there and has the capital, engineering capacity, and strategic interest to turn Greenland into a modern, prosperous, well-defended Arctic hub. American control would mean serious investment in roads, ports, broadband, housing, renewable energy grids, and actual economic development instead of the current slow-bleed Danish subsidy model that keeps Greenland dependent and stagnant.

Greenlanders themselves might grumble at first, but once they see real money flowing in, modern infrastructure, better jobs, and actual protection from climate and geopolitical threats instead of endless Copenhagen platitudes, the benefits would become obvious. Sovereignty lectures from Denmark ring pretty hollow when they've failed to deliver meaningful progress after 300+ years of "responsibility."

In short: Denmark dropped the ball so badly that American administration isn't just a reasonable option — it's rapidly becoming the only responsible one left on the table.

If Americans weren't so retarded this could've just happened peacefully in a couple hundred years or integration with freedom of movement and goods would've progressed to the point the border between Canada and the US would've been irrelevant.

The Danish government spends much more than it receives back on Greenland. They don't get anything out of it and neither would the US. The US has military basing rights which is all we really would've wanted with Greenland. It's just Trumps ego couldn't leave shit alone. There are less than 57k people in all of Greenland.

Greenland doesn't need the degree of infrastructure you're talking about. Having natural resources is irrelevant. It's about the cost of extracting, refining, and transporting those goods. There isn't the population even to do that. We already have bases in Greenland.
Greenlands people don't want to join the USA and they have universal healthcare.

If they were American citizens, what's stopping them from simply leaving to work in the lower 48 further depriving the area of a workforce to theoretically mine, process, and transport those theoretical natural resources?
So basically America gets all the benefits it could realistically obtain by governing the place with minimal cost. I'd say that's a really good deal.

Annexing Greenland would harm Americas relationship with Maersk and other Danish companies which provide invaluable goods. Also Denmark used to be a strategic 5th column we had within the EU that even spied on the German government and others for the US. They helped the US tap Merkels comms.

We're burning bridges for zero appreciable benefit here.

Why are these type of Americans so fucking delusional? They act like fetal alcohol syndrome victims with downs syndrome that are on drugs.

Why do I have to share a country with these people. They're always like "if you don't like it you can leave". But then you really can't because Americans have to file taxes globally, struggle to open bank accounts in other countries, and can't take advantage of tax deferred accounts in other countries.

It's so obvious these people have never even been outside the US or North America. Or possibly even their own county or state

To some degree having bases in the arctic is kinda pointless given the US has a network of satellite early warning systems and now has ICBMs to launch nukes.

But having a backup early warning system on the ground and ability to monitor Opfor naval traffic and future Russian maritime traffic along their northern coastline is definitely worth having a couple bases there. Russia and China have the ability to jam US satellites in space or even take them out.

In the cold war Greenland was full with bases but Americans closed them all down because modern tech made it pointless, USA has still the agreement that they can create bases there whenever they want which makes trumps reasons for taking it even more pointless. Trumps wants just to play map painting and he remembered to he the clown who annexed Greenland, all egoistical bullshit like usual.

It's bizarre to also hate on Europe because much of what America great started with people from Europe who came to America for one reason or another made something for themselves and their family.

I love European products. They have better food ingredients. They make awesome stuff like tools and audio equipment. The Jambon Beurres at the French gas stations are actually decent whereas in America gas station food can give you food poisoning. It just shows that none of these people have ever traveled to Europe. They don't connect with their European heritage or remember where we came from.

They want to tariff European: Beer, Butter, Cheese, Honey, Liquors, Meats, Mustard, Olive oil, Pasta, Wine, Vinegar, etc. They don't appreciate European Chocolate. Everything is fake here in America.

German Mittelstands are a model of maintaining family business but everything in America is just corporate bullshit and slop.

They're unsophisticated trailer trash who want to turn all of America into a shitty rust belt town because they're seething mad about being left in the dust. It's not going to bring back the glory days or reopen the factories. The world isn't some bombed out ruins or bankrupt from WW2. Europe, Japan, and even China is catching up.

We're squandering what's left of American dominance and influence on a 80 year old toddlers ego.

I know. It sucks. The good thing is that many of the places hit hardest by the trade war are shitty rust belt towns, agricultural communities, and other places that tend to support this braindead nonsense.

America will never have the influence, trade deals, or other benefits it had ever again. In 50 years if America consistently stays true to it's word and figures shit out maybe it can have other kinds of relationships that are more bilateral with more say and independence to it's partners. But in the back of their heads, this time period, will always linger in the back of their head. Many will not forgive. Power blocs and trade blocs will realign forever.

Unfortunately they're not. I've met plenty of people who are like we should own Canada and Greenland. Not that they've given any serious thought to this. They don't understand that many of the laws in Quebec would straight up be unconstitutional regarding laicite. They don't know about government transfer payments between provinces of Canada.

They think we can produce everything in America. That we should tariff the world and be an autarky. They remember how things used to be made in America and things are different now. That somehow we can magically make things go back to how things were.

That the Iran war is justified and that gas prices at the pump are just State taxes or whatever nonsense.

The propaganda machine is in full swing. A lot of these people hang out on Facebook or just shitty small town bars. A lot of them are just a different age demographic and are more rural.

True they really do think it is paradise. That there is no housing crisis in Europe or other issues. But in comparison to the US we spend just as much, if not more, as a % of GDP, and it isn't free on delivery. People there do have a month of guaranteed vacation and maternity care. But they don't sit back and realize that Europe for some weird reason has a lower birth rate than America even for non-Hispanic white people (1.5 something) vs (1.3 per couple) in Germany. So obviously it isn't total paradise. People bitch about Deutsche Bahn issues but we don't even have mass transit in the US or rail even within regions outside of the Bay Area or NYC metro area.

They don't realize that everybody in Europe has to pay like a 20% tax that isn't just sales, but VAT which gets baked into everything. That everybody has like 40% taxes or more. That there's estate taxes, gift taxes, and fuel cost like $10 a gallon.

I think what happened was that America is so broken that MIGA labelled everything they don't like or approve of Socialist. Americans don't understand political terminology like what Social Democracy is. So they hear that and think that = Socialism and doesn't have some of the issues I described above.

DSA membership in 2015 was 6000. By 2016 it went to 30k. Then to 80k by 2021. It decreased to like 57k by 2024. Then now it's back up to 120k.

So Trump literally lends credence to Socialism. To be fair most of these people just want Social Democracy. They don't understand that SPD just couples with CSU-CDU in Germany to fuck over average people.

Not trying to shit on Germany, they make some great stuff and have a nation full of detail orientated people, but the ads for the Bundeswehr are falling on flat ears. There are marches by students to oppose the planned conscription.

Unlike the US, where the military is one of the only ways to get free education and healthcare, Germany doesn't have that incentive structure. Young German men don't see a reason to join the military.

It's not like in Finland where everybody universally understands the reason why people have to serve in the military. Do you have any details on what exactly German troops are doing to training in Finland? The gang is getting back together (Germany and Finland).
