Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think that's a wise choice, Denmark is not perfect, but at least we are considerate to Greenland as an independent self governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, that consist of Denmark, Greenland and Faroe Island.
Greenland is not treated as a minority population of Denmark, but as an independent population with a right to self determination over themselves as a people and Greenland as their country.
They are also allowed AFAIK even guaranteed complete sovereignty if and when they want, but they are dependent on economic aid from Denmark, and Denmark has the standpoint that they can't have both, which IMO is fair.
By what logic should we give them money if they are not part of the kingdom?
Greenland also has 2 members in the parliament of Denmark, which reflect the size of their population proportionally. Faroe Islands has the same. So they are both an equal part of our democracy with proportional representation.
Given the choice, Denmark is a wise one, I agree. All the US is going to do is exploit the hell out of the place in true US fashion and take away any autonomous aspect or sovereignty they have. Of course, given this wasn't actually a multiple choice decision trump the whiny bitch seriously gave, he will attempt to take Greenland by force... involving NATO... effectively ending NATO and causing a whole new set of worldly problems because the pedophile man baby can't leave well enough alone.
