Trump is offering them to be part of the North American Technate which provides an abundance of resources. Look at the map.
That’s bullshit. Trump wants Greenland’s resources for his empire. The Greenlanders will get exploited and see no benefit to these resources. They will probably lose welfare and gain police brutality.
Did any south american or african colony ever gain anything from being ‘acquired’ by european powers?
Of course it’s not sure that that promise will be fulfilled.
I totally agree. But if Musk tells the Greenlanders that they will be part of a land of abundance and that everybody gets $100,000 immediately, I am not sure how they will vote. Americans are not more stupid than others, they are just more influenced.
I wouldn’t be so sure. From the little I know of Greenland, the people are quite combative of their independence, as all native people are once they have been absorbed by western culture. The prime minister/governor/can’t remember the title said quite clearly that they aren’t for sale.
Also, I don’t feel like 100k/resident is really a lot of money.
If America brings that influence to Greenland then there is the possibility that they turn the majority. After all the Greenlanders are watching Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, X and TikTok and they ask OpenAI for help.
If the EU wants to keep Greenland they should establish the Fediverse there as soon as possible.

It’s the initial offer. There are 56,831 inhabitants. If they pay $1000k/resident it will still be cheaper than Ukraine.
Having met a lot of American abroad, I can’t really say that’s true.
Nature or nurture?
Nurture for sure. But I guess that applies to everyone.
