    American here. I’m sure annexing Greenland would be very useful to us for all kinds of reasons. I don’t want to do it.

    Unless the people in Greenland want to become part of the United States, I don’t believe we have any more right to declare Greenland ours than Hitler had a right to declare France his, or Russia has a right to declare Ukraine theirs.

    If the people of Greenland want to become part of the United States, verified with an election monitored by multiple disinterested third parties, then by all means welcome to the party guys.

    However given the timing of this ridiculous idea, I can’t help but think the whole thing is just a distraction from the Epstein files.

      Americans also need to have a referendum to allow Greenland to join and Denmark needs to have a referendum to let them go as well, if it is too be all above board, as Greenland is subject to the Danish government.
