Bill introduced into Congress to authorize the president buying Greenland

[Radiorum]

Denmark and Greenland insist that Greenland is not for sale, but, anyways, the American Congress has introduced Bill H.R. 1161, which authorizes the the President to enter into negotiations with the government of Denmark to purchase or otherwise acquire Greenland.

The bill also renames Greenland as Red, White, and Blueland.

No, this is not a joke, It's real.

Holy shit. They're beyond parody at this point. We've hit saturation.

Listen up dipshits, Greenland is not for sale. The Yanks are so far in debt they can't afford it anyway.

[Barquentine]

Shouldn't that be Red, White, and Orange Land?

No, just Orange land, the real red, white and blue is on the Russian flag. Trump is North America's  Putin and the Republicans are turning the US into a fascist dictatorship.

Trump may get into a bidding war with Putin, and Putin has a LOT of money stashed away.

Maybe Muskrat can help out....

Good article here on why Greenland, I would suggest rising above the TDS for a few minutes and read the article....

Ask Congress for funds to buy the Moon., Trump will sell it at a fair price.

Anytime I bring up the idea that Greenland should be sovereign and therefore not under the US nor Denmark.. certain posters go apoplectic.

Now you're just being a tree hugging dumbass. 

Don't you have rituals to perform in the local forest?

Sovereign usually only works in the long term when the nation has armed forces strong enough to repel invaders.

Ukraine is a prime example. They were dumb enough to give up their nukes for a piece of paper that guaranteed their security and only the US and Britain signatories thought that meant something. 

🤮

The dupe that swallows the whole Donald load thinks defending your country's right to exist is tree hugging.
Here's a counter offer, we'll "buy" Washington DC for $1.00 if you really think you can buy and sell parts of countries. Sure isn't worth much more on today's market.

Interesting how if you ask a typical Conservative to occupy their land, extract their resources, and then leave their land useless afterwards.. they would fight you tooth and nail. But... if we do that to Greenland... its a good idea.

All those poor Natives, Africans, Asians that only had 'claims' to be nations. That justifies colonialism.
Only real military might justifies nationhood?

[suds]

It's not exactly as if the U.S. hasn't done stuff like this before. They bought Alaska. Then there was the Louisiana Purchase which makes up 1/3 of the continental U.S. today. And if Montcalm had won on the Plains of Abraham, Napolean would likely have thrown in what is known today as Canada as well. Nothing stays the same forever. I wonder what the offer's going to be?

Empires get old, too spread out, and decline. Or they go broke waging war such as after WW2. In other cases it comes at the barrel of a gun.

Yes they do. We're watching one now.

Greenlanders may not want to be Danish but they want to be Americans even less. I doubt what Greenlanders want is even a consideration for Trump. Britain went to war because Falklanders didn't want to be Argentinians. 

Denmark is a NATO ally, the US wanting it for defence reasons is totally bogus, they have a treaty that allows the US to have bases in Greenland and they already have one at Thule.

Greenlanders will want whatever puts steak on the table.

Here's something interesting....two center right pro-independence parties came 1st and 2nd in Greenland's main election.....

Who won Greenland’s 2025 election?

In a surprising result, the centre-right Demokraatit Party won the most votes.

Both Demokraatit ( the Democrats) and the second-place Naleraq, or Point of Orientation, favour Greenland's independence from Denmark but differ on the pace of change.

Naleraq favours a more aggressive approach, but the Demokraatit wants a gradual transition.

 

Jens-Frederik Nielsen’s party tripled its share of the seats to win the election, a major shock since they were not considered a key player.

Demokraatit won 10 of the 31 seats, Naleraq secured eight, and Inuit Ataqatigiit, the party of former Prime Minister Múte B Egede, won seven.

The result means that no party has overall control and coalition talks are now set to begin.
