President Trump has pushed top aides to investigate whether the U.S. government can purchase the giant ice-smothered island of Greenland, two people with direct knowledge of the directive said.

Economic exclusion zones, underseas resources and in future, shipping lanes thru the arctic region, which is becoming increasingly accessible due to the global temperature rising. Unlike Antarctic, Arctic region is mostly open sea, not permafrost tundra if you remove the ice so the resources are actually quite easy to harvest if there is even a small window to build and maintain infrastructure and the sea no longer freezes completely over.

Danes would be fools to sell. However, in near future it is not very far-fetched idea that the Russians will at some point start to organize some poo poo there, similarly as what they already do with the Norwegians and Canada over the Arctic sea.

Greenland is self-governing anyway, so I don't think Denmark could sell it even if we wanted.

Greenland may be self-governing but for international law and sovereignty purposes it still is under the rule of Denmark and therefore considered as a territory or region of Denmark. So unless Trump wants to go to a war with another NATO country, Denmark has to agree to cede the territory, whatever the regional government of Greenland decides. Hypothetically, if the local gov said no and Copenhagen sold the place anyway, I think legally there is very little the local gov could do besides try fighting, negotiate for continuance of self-government, or get replaced.

This all of course being highly hypothetical since peaceful exchange or purchase of territory is nowadays very special case anyway.

"Something witty."
Seaside town's high-tech anti-sex toilets will spray users with water

quote:

The Welsh seaside town of Porthcawl is planning to install anti-sex public toilets that would spray occupants with water and sound an alarm. Violent movement sensors would automatically open the doors and sound high-pitched alarms, with fine water jets soaking the interior. Weight-sensitive floors would ensure only one user could be in a cubicle at a time, to safeguard against “inappropriate sexual activity and vandalism”.

However, Twitter users have questioned how the systems, in particular the weight-sensitive floors, would work in practice.
