Interesting, they just moved the meeting out of the White House, to exclude trump and his impulsive inflammatory statements.

^however, one cannot forget how wildly inappropriate Vance was to Zelenskyy. If he pulls that with Denmark and Greenland pm, it will be a circus.

How many electoral college votes will Greenland get to cast. Bearing in mind that voters there are likely to lean left of centre?

Wouldn't many of the sensible Greenlanders move to Denmark, and many Red State Americans (think:Alaska types) move to Greenland?

Greenland is needed for the long-term defense of the USA, the Western Hemisphere, and of the EU.

If NATO is to stay intact, the USA must have Greenland. Failure of Greenlanders & Denmark to make a deal with the USA will result in the USA withdrawing from NATO. The USA doesn't need NATO anywhere near as much as the other NATO countries need the USA.

NATO is much more valuable to the US vs EU. Without NATO the US will not have access to European and many navy/Air Force bases around the world. The US could not attack Iran without NATO and Diego Garcia. Yes the European are concerned about Russia but they are not scared of Russia.

Russia is not able to invade Ukraine a country with a 10th of its GDP and a 5th of its population. How would Russia invade NATO? NATO without the US has 5 times Russia’s population and 15 times its GDP.

You people make statements without facts. Without NATO the US will have to spend 5 times what it’s now does on defense and would still be a lot less capable. The logistics alone are non replaceable-no medical facilities Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, no air tankers, no access to EU airspace, no resupply of the fleet, no forwards deployed equipment, etc. If NATO ends it would cripple the US military.

Kicking the US out of bases in Europe would have a lot of negative economic consequences for those communities, so I don’t think most countries actually do it. Makes sense to bluff about it I guess.

It would be more negative to us. Let me tell you that I just left Europe and the folks we talked to were like "shut the bases."

‘We’re Not Stupid’: What Greenlanders Would Say to Trump
A visit to Greenland reveals a swirl of feelings as people nervously await talks with the Trump administration about the island’s future.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/world/americas/greenland-fear-trump-us-takeover.html
Pipaluk Lynge knows the history of how Indigenous people have been treated in the United States. And she’s well aware of the holes in the country’s health care system and its yawning economic inequality.

Ms. Lynge, one of Greenland’s top officials and the leader of the Parliament’s foreign and security policy committee, chafes at President Trump’s offer to buy Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, and his insistence that Greenlanders would be better off as Americans.

“We’re not going to sell our soul,” she said. “We’re not stupid.”

Greenland should rename itself “Epstein Island”. Then Trump would pretend it didn’t exist.

I like that idea…though maybe the “Donald J Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Island” like the Kenny center.

The total population of Greenland is approximately 57,000. Over 26% (15,000) of Greenland's residents are above age 55.

Greenland needs to hold a special election ASAP to determine whether the new national language should be Mandarin or English. It's that simple.

Denmark cannot defend Greenland. Denmark's entire military has fewer members than the NYC police force.

Denmark has no legal or historical right to claim Greenland.

Greenlanders do not want to be Danish citizens. Greenlanders want to be Greenlanders, but this is unrealistic as both China & Russia want to occupy Greenland.

The USA can best defend and develop Greenland for the mutual benefit of Greenlanders, Americans, NATO members, and the Danish.

Greenland must become part of America in our rapidly developing and changing world or China will dominate.

Historically, the US has tried to purchase Greenland more than once.

So, Greenland--what do you prefer--to learn to speak Mandarin or to learn English ?

NATO can defend Greenland. So yeah, anyway...next.
