Sylvi Listhaug is awful, but she's kind of funny to appraise in a vacuum at times.

A co-worker introduced me to his latest facebook conspiracy where it makes no sense that the Norwegian mass shooter was taken down by a 75 year old man. That he must have instead been beaten up by a bigger younger Muslim who fled the scene. This is further supported by the mosque security cameras mysteriously not working during the event.

So since the Norwegian prime minister is accusing Sweden of exporting right-wing extremism, will the Danish prime minister accuse Sweden of exporting left-wing extremism since it's come out that one of the people involved in the bombing of the Danish tax offices has been politically active and at one point ran for a left-leaning party?

Nah, they will probably accuse us of exporting the gang violence. There is the bombing and then the double murder in Copenhagen, both attributed to Swedes.

No worries, she's of the firm belief that all brown people are extremists regardless of external factors. E: I stand corrected!

Had no idea Trump was so interested in Greenland, first time I heard of this: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49367792 But isn't Greenland seeking independence from Denmark? USA can be free to abuse this country once it gains independence just like it does with all weak countries, no need to buy it. Maybe the independence is too far off or something I dunno, last I heard they wanted complete autonomy by 2021

As with a lot of post-imperial, colonized and exploited places/nations Greenland still suffers immensely from that. It has a disturbing amount of violence and abuse and suicide. Until they find some truly valuable and easily exploited natural resources, they are entirely dependent on subsidies from Denmark to keep the lights on. They look real good considering the, by now, inevitable climate changes though. I guess the subsidiary would just be a tiny drop in the bucket for USA, but looking at how they treat puerto rico and the other islands (guam, american samoa) it's not exactly an enticing proposition. That's without thinking about the supremely arrogant notion of saying to a (mostly) independent country that you'd like to buy them. e: since this is the helllworld timeline, I fully expect Greenland to be part of the US islands in a couple of years.

Greenland comes with a claim on the north poles oil reserves that are being exposed as the ice melts. A claim that Denmark can't enforce but the US can.

Ah, so it's buidling up to that stupid US-Russia arctic war that was in Detroit: Become Human. Cardiac posted:Doesn’t Greenland suffer from a depressing amount of alcoholism and violence for being just 50k people. Everything is also really expensive, especially vegetables. Because it has to be imported a long way to get there. That doesn't combine well with widespread poverty and unemployment and neither does it work wonders for the health and life expectancy of the inhabitants. Also I wouldn't call Greenland mostly independent. It's mostly autonomous, at least in Greenlander matters, but in no way is it independent or even capable of really being independent because it's essentially totally reliant on subsidies (not trade) from Denmark in order to support itself, as has been pointed out. To be independent Greenland needs resources (which will happen with global warming), a larger population and the ability to get food to support that population, either through profitable trade or agriculture (which might also become possible I think).

loving lol, he cancelled the visit because Mette F said on the news that she wasn’t interested in talking about selling Greenland. E: Er der lige nogen der kan tjekke med Lange Grete om hvis USA overtager bloktilskuddet og lægger en ordenligt pose penge oveni, er hun så med på at det er en aftale? Jeg sku’ spørge fra en ven.

Is Greenland even theoretically for sale? What an absurd reason to cancel a diplomatic visit. I do wonder of Greenland is anything other than a money pit for the Danish government, bet they can't wait to get rid but through self determination.

Yeah, I don't think the Danish government could even sell Greenland, and if they did (or tried) there would be a huge international diplomatic backlash. As much as Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, it is absolutely a country of its own, with its own people and their own culture and heritage. Under any circumstance other than outright invasion, only the Greenlandic people have the authority to determine what happens to Greenland.

Greenland is essentially self-governing with the exception of foreign affairs and defense - although it should be said that they trade for a bunch of subsidies from Denmark which have already been outlined in the thread. Everyone who's in their right mind, judged by whether they laughed at this, has been laughing at this.

The right considers Greenland a rightful Danish possession because it wasn't colonialism because barely anyone lived there. The Americans can nuke its population if they want, but that sand and those remnant artifacts of a dead culture belong to the Queen.
