    You keep repeating the same garbage in every thread thinking we're all braindead stupid as you. Germany told Putin publicly and in private that it would bar Ukraine from joining NATO. You keep making this **** up cuz you're a pathetic troll who has no values or morals.

    Correct. I would not care if a majority of Greenlanders voted against becoming a part of the United States in a referendum.

    Greenland is a massive island with a tiny population which is important in terms of geopolitics, defense and economics and appears to be increasingly so moving further into the 21st century.

    I would not let the opinion of 56,000 Greenlanders compromise those geopolitical considerations, defense considerations or economic considerations.

    What if there were 8 native Greenlanders on that island? Would you let 5 of them voting no to joining the United States stop a move of that much long term geopolitical, defense and economic significance?

    Don't be a child.

    It's not like becoming a U.S. territory would be some horrific fate. They'd be fine. Probably better off.

    Its a classic case of garbage in, garbage out.

    The input info of their chosen trusted news is corrupt. If that information were actually valid, their craziness would be the appropriate output. But their trusted news tells them that Biden was going to start WWIII, while Trump is just showing off his big dick energy, and they swallow it without questioning.

    The way to fix would be to get people to migrate to reasonable, flat, unbiased agenda free news, but the dopamine feedback loop and the big tech engagement algorithm will never allow that.

    The key to a good grift is to tell people that the things they really WANT to believe but are a little bit reticent to champion and advocate for are actually true and a bigger problem than anybody ever though. "We've got trouble. Right here is River City."

    I genuinely can't believe just how shameless these people are. If you look back at the kamala thread these same folks swore to us Trump meant peace and he would all wars and stop military agression. They repeated this literally every single day.

    Suddenly the exact same individuals are telling us who cares what the local population wants if it has strategic meaning to the USA we should just annex it and deal with it using the military.

    What a ****ing crazy cult with no morals or values. It's just mind blowing watching America implode in slow motion.

    I'm in denmark where everyone is talking about how unhinged and bat **** crazy yall have become. The news here is talking about how America wants to declare war on Denmark.

    Denmark buys its stealth bombers and other weapons from pentagon. All this is doing is destroying Americans reputation on the global stage. If you're India or Japan why the **** would you buy weapons from USA?

    They have a right to be independent and choose their own government and laws. They also have a rightful claim to its natural resources, not Denmark, according to the Self Government Act of 2009. If the US wants control over it, they need to strike a deal with Greenlanders.

    The entire world is laughing at you inbred cultists

    Greenland EU reps are both socialists. Greenlanders are extreme left wing. The idea they want to be part of America is utterly insane

    That can be your position on the matter.

    Not my position. This is how grok responds to the following prompt:

    Who legally controls the natural resources of Greenland. If the US wishes to acquire control of these resources, who do they need to negotiate with?”


    The legal control over natural resources in Greenland is a complex matter due to Greenland's political status and its relationship with Denmark:

    1. **Greenland's Status**: Greenland is an autonomous constituent country within the Kingdom of Denmark. While Greenland has self-government, foreign affairs and defense are handled by Denmark.

    2. **Resource Control**:
    - **Self-Government Act**: Under the Greenland Self-Government Act of 2009, Greenland has the rights to its non-living resources. This includes minerals, oil, and gas. The Act stipulates that the revenues from these resources primarily benefit Greenland, although there are arrangements for revenue sharing with Denmark until Greenland can fully finance itself independently.
    - **Danish Realm**: However, the overarching sovereignty still lies with the Kingdom of Denmark, which means that while Greenland can manage and benefit from its resources, significant decisions, especially those involving international agreements or major policy shifts, might require consultation or agreement with the Danish government.

    3. **Negotiations for Resource Acquisition**:
    - If the United States wishes to acquire or gain control over Greenland's natural resources, they would primarily need to negotiate with:
    - **The Government of Greenland**: As the entity with direct control over natural resource exploration and exploitation, any direct deals or investments in resource extraction would have to be approved by Greenland's government.
    - **The Danish Government**: Since Denmark handles foreign affairs, any large-scale or strategic agreement, especially one that might affect the geopolitical balance or involve significant foreign presence or ownership, would also require negotiation with or at least the consent of Denmark. This ensures that such deals align with the broader foreign policy and security considerations of the Danish Realm.

    4. **Considerations**:
    - **Environmental and Local Impact**: Any negotiation would also have to consider environmental regulations, indigenous rights, and local impact, as Greenland places significant emphasis on sustainable development.
    - **Geopolitical Sensitivity**: Given Greenland's strategic location, especially in the context of Arctic geopolitics, any move by a foreign power like the US would be watched closely by other nations, including Russia, Canada, and Nordic countries.

    In summary, for the US to legally acquire or control Greenland's natural resources, negotiations would need to take place with both the Greenlandic government for direct resource management and potentially with the Danish government for overarching strategic or foreign policy agreements.

    You can’t be that ****ing stupid if you think taking a territory by force is ok. That it would not divide the world even further.

    Watching the right wing german drool over a fat old incoherent Trump and his plans for imperialism proves my theory that @AroundTheWorld would've 1000% been a fan of Hitler if he was born in another era. Trump doesn't have 1/10 of the charisma that Hitler and you book lick Trump. Modern day right wing germans wouldve been the biggest nazis back in the day

    @fchowd0311 he has nazi tendencies like i said in the other thread just born in another era.
