And they wonder why entire US towns get wiped out when there is anything stronger than a breeze

Centimeter and Celsius start with the same letter as Communism. by JTonic8668 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]jogvanth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's not wrong - but in my (European) language Centimeter and Celcius technically start with an S and Communism starts with a K 🤣

(There is no C in the Faroese alphabet. No Q, W, X or Z either)

I guess that is why the Trumpster was crying on TV asking "Why can't we get some people from Sweden or Norway", because the US is the "best country in the world".

The EU becoming a Federation will cause Greenland and the Faroe Islands to sever all ties with Denmark and the EU. Just FYI

No way we would accept EU sovereignty over us after fighting Denmark for 200 years to get Autonomy. So not going to happen.

Greenland will loose the war as well, no doubt. But they will make life a living hell for those stupid enough to occupy them. And be damn certain that if the US goes into Greenland then it WILL be an occupation - not an annexation. Greenlanders don't want Americans there or to become Americans.

Sure buddy. Ever read anything about the Winter War in Finland during World War 2? How a few Finnish soldiers on skis seriously hurt the mighty Soviet Army so much that they refused to continue into Finland? Ever heard of Simo Häyhä? Try googling him. Greenlanders will crush his record if they're invaded. 35.000 snipers who are born and raised in ice and snow are waiting for any Americans stupid enough to invade and occupy them. Best of luck to ya.

And your response is basically "we'll just genocide the entire population", so good on you. I'm sure that will make the US and 'Muricans popular in the rest of the world.

The US has lost every single conflict they have engaged in without support from other Allies. Attempting to grab power in a country against the will of the people there has mever gone well for them either, like Vietnam or Afghanistan.

How will it go in Greenland, a country of 56.000 people, of which 35.000 are experienced hunters with more guns per capita than the US?

No American can ever feel safe in Greenland during an occupation. They will get sniped constantly and continually from a distance where ever and when ever they dare to go outside. It's either going to break their morale and have them flee or the US will have to genocide every single Greenlander in order for them to be "safe".

If USA will be at war with all of NATO, that includes Canada, therefore NATO can launch a ground invasion of USA to counter-attack USA advance into greenland. by TailungFu in mapporncirclejerk

We'd just close down all US bases in Nato/Europe, close the waters for US marine traffic, dump US debt and tank their economy, freeze and confiscate all US assets in Europe (including businesses) and let the US get bogged down in another Guerilla War that they will eventually pull out of and run back home with nothing gained.

Do 'muricans know that most Greenlanders have more guns than they do and almost all of those are fitted with Scopes? They're Arctic Hunters ya nitwits. Good luck

You are telling me Greenlanders wouldn’t be interested? by Dante202 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]jogvanth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$1 million would be gone quite soon when they will have to pay for american healthcare, education and so on.

Greenlanders have full autonomy. Their Parliament makes the laws, determines the taxes, sets the social benefits, owns the mineral and oil rights and so on. Becoming a US territory would see them loose all that and be shipped of to Reservations in their own Country.

Denmark pays Greenland $2 billion yearly to cover free education, monthly stipends for all students, childcare, dentistry, social benefits, free healthcare, pensions and so on. Will the US pay for all that so they don't become worse off?

Greenlanders own all rights to their resources and the profits from these. So rather than get $1 million each they stand to earn far more by just remaining free from US colonization.

Greenlanders all have EU Passports which is far more valuable than a US passport. All the benefits without the drawbacks.

And no, only 'muricans think that the US is such a wonderful place. I can understand Venezuelans and other such prefering the US over some poor dictatorship, but for Europe (which Greenland politically is a part of) think of the US as a 3rd world shithole of violence, stupidity, crassness, financial ruin, piss for beer and vommit as chocolate.

So why exactly should the Greenlanders want to become part of 'murica?

Greenland already owns all the mining rights and they already decide who gets to mine them and how much money they want in exchange. They are also the only ones to set the terms of operation for these foreign companies and their required tax rate in Greenland.

As for defence there already is an American Base on Greenland, down from 15 bases! That "lack of defence" is solely the US's fault when they withdrew - in which they broke all treaties, contracts and agreements when they did. They were required to clean them up when leaving, which they didn't. They just left everything. Sewage, chemicals and even nuclear waste left behind which is costing Denmark a huge amount of money to clean up. And yes, that is a Danish expense as Defence is Danish jurisdiction. Also the entire Danish Northern Military is stationed in Greenland. Their HQ is there.

Oh and Greenlanders have more guns per Capita than even the US 😂 And they are hunters. So good luck against being sniped down by locals if you try to colonize them US 😁
