    I think that’s a wise choice, Denmark is not perfect, but at least we are considerate to Greenland as an independent self governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, that consist of Denmark, Greenland and Faroe Island.
    Greenland is not treated as a minority population of Denmark, but as an independent population with a right to self determination over themselves as a people and Greenland as their country.
    They are also allowed AFAIK even guaranteed complete sovereignty if and when they want, but they are dependent on economic aid from Denmark, and Denmark has the standpoint that they can’t have both, which IMO is fair.
    By what logic should we give them money if they are not part of the kingdom?

    Greenland also has 2 members in the parliament of Denmark, which reflect the size of their population proportionally. Faroe Islands has the same. So they are both an equal part of our democracy with proportional representation.

      Given the choice, Denmark is a wise one, I agree. All the US is going to do is exploit the hell out of the place in true US fashion and take away any autonomous aspect or sovereignty they have. Of course, given this wasn’t actually a multiple choice decision trump the whiny bitch seriously gave, he will attempt to take Greenland by force… involving NATO… effectively ending NATO and causing a whole new set of worldly problems because the pedophile man baby can’t leave well enough alone.
