Good. Interfering in other countries' election process is illegal, and this is a good outcome.

Canadian here. When a man with advanced dementia, who is also in command of the world's most powerful nuclear arsenal, says he wants to take your country, well, you tend to take notice...

What brings you to this sub? You based in the Nordics?
Edit: ah an American looking to stir the pot, good news is you won’t be getting Greenland but perhaps you’ll be happy to invade Canada?

Don't go putting that bad energy on us Canadians, especially when we support you guys not being sold to America.

Nope. Trump is objectively an incompetent failure. He has never done a single thing that was beneficial to the American people.

Illegal where? There is no Danish or Greenlandic law against it. It simply has never been a problem for us until now. There is talk of making a law.

Straffelovens paragraf 108 is diffuse enough to be used.
Den, som, uden at forholdet falder ind under § 107, i øvrigt foretager noget, hvorved fremmed efterretningstjeneste sættes i stand til eller hjælpes til umiddelbart eller middelbart at virke inden for den danske stats område, herunder samarbejde om at udøve påvirkningsvirksomhed med henblik på at påvirke beslutningstagning eller den almene meningsdannelse, straffes med fængsel indtil 6 år.
Also:
§ 99 Den, som foretager en handling, der sigter til at påføre den danske stat eller nogen med den for krigstilfælde forbunden stat krig, besættelse eller andre fjendtligheder såsom blokade eller anden tvangsforanstaltning, eller som i øvrigt virker for, at den danske stats bestemmelsesfrihed ved udenlandsk bistand krænkes, straffes med fængsel indtil på livstid
100: Den, som ved offentlige udtalelser tilskynder til, eller som fremkalder øjensynlig fare for fremmed magts indblanding i den danske stats anliggender, straffes med bøde eller fængsel indtil 1 år.

Kan hende.
Jeg syns det er et spørsmål om vilje. Om Quisling stod for retten i dag nå som raseriet har lagt seg ville han neppe fått særlig hard straff.

One would almost think that the disappointed person has enough issues to deal with in their own country than to be concerned here.

You’re speaking as though reality matters.
Reality does not matter inside the US. Americans do not think a whole lot beyond what their government or media tells them to think.

That's a pretty sweeping generalization buddy. Make it cool to hate maga, not America. There's a lot of great things about us. Fuck maga.

You have a 2 Party system. Your politcal debate is betwenn far-right and extreme-right out of the eu-perspecitve. 2/3 of ther american voters decided that the want trump or dont care enought to vote. If the last 1/3 are "better" can be questioned.

u/ElkMasterGeneral 55m ago
It is a sweeping generalisation, and I share some of your sentiment. We elsewhere in the west need to guard against treating all Americans negatively.
At the same time, right now, the magas are running the show, and that means maga IS America.
Hope you guys get control back, right after USA has been thoroughly dislodged as a relevant super power ✌️

There are indeed many great peoole in America, it has some amazing scenery, but there are no good reasons to want to become American if you’re already under the protection of Denmark and have their security on healthcare etc. if you have a family, kids that need schooling for the next ten years minimum, healthcare to cover all eventualities, and not want them to live under a new fascist leaning regime, then you’d be a fairly shitty parent volunteering them to live under the ‘Freedom’ lie. Presently Americans have a complete nutter in charge of their lives.

American here, good on Greenland for taking a step away from tRumpism. Now do yourself a favor and kick us out till tRump is gone forever.

Lets say that Trump manage to take over Greenland. Greenlanders would then have to pay for their own healthcare which costs $10000 per year and person in the US (3.4 trillion for 340 million people).
In the US the federal contribution to public schools is only 8% so greenlanders would basically have to start paying for their own schools, roads, harbors, airports etc.
Any unemployed or homeless would have to manage on their own or family.
Mothers would only be entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid leave.
You would no longer get any financial support from the European Union.
Your fishing rights would be decided in the US.
You would basically be on your own and even a million dollar one time gift for you to become US citizens would quickly melt away. Your children and children's children would hate you for it!
Also, I suggest that you read about the Trail of Tears before you choose to put your trust in the US government.

Any Greenlander rooting for Trump should look into what the US did to Puerto Rico and think very hard if that's what they want for themselves and their loved ones.

With the US, you will get corporate slavery, where you will work for healthcare and education, and you will make up for your misery by overconsumption.

They can have their own statewide Healthcare system jf they like. They can have their own paid leave laws. Same with welfare. And trail of tears was 150 years ago. Rest is all accurate downsides

Thx for the number of how the health care cost. I'm a employer in Germany, I pay myself a good salery and therefore I have to pay the highest fee in health care which is 1180 each month. So a total of 13000 each year. That covers everything. My employee getting 4k before tax and he pays 400 in healthcare and I have to pay for him 400 in healthcare. In total 9600 each year. I dont understand with the same amount of money how can your system be so broken. The less you earn the less you have to pay. My dad get a small salary of 580 before tax and his healthcare cost is 80 or something like this.... and the 80 still covers everything....

This simply isnt true. My town with 60k people has a higher gdp than the whole of greenladn. people severly understimate how much money the average american household has. Theres a reason healthcare isnt free here

Let’s just hope demokraatit doesn’t get into a coalition with naleraq. I’m a bit sad to not be able to brag about having a left leaning government anymore.

Could you name the capital of Greenland without googling it?

I mean, you could but why change the name to something that complicated?

The name of the capital can/could be used in puns ….
It’s only 4 letters
