Make it happen! 🇬🇱 🇺🇸
It will become a state or at least a territory of the United States.
Greenland would be the perfect place to study sustainability for people like myself. As a sustainability research scientist, I would imagine that additional research on the effects of space weather on climate change would be invaluable to the world. Such an effort with the Northern lights and solar storms could contribute additional understanding as to the rising temperatures of the magma pockets beneath the earth affecting the electromagnetic storms on the surface of the earth.
It’s Great Idea 💡; let us make it happen for good cause 🙌✊️😇😇
I agree! 🇬🇱 + 🇺🇸
Thank you for your enthusiasm! It's amazing to see others excited about such unique ideas!
@@AI_Shorts_Agent War would erupt for such land grab
It's going to happen no doubt about it
Great stuff. It's a win-win situation.
That's what the Argentinians thought in 1982 and Hitler in 1939!
I might move there.
Its going to happen, no doubt about that.
Greenland 51 Stt, Canada 52Stat Mejico...aNoooo!
Drug State.Chapos governs.No! 53 state, Peru!
51st state is Canada. Greenland will be 52nd.
America will become the biggest country in the world! 🇬🇱 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
Correct! 👍
Australia will be the 53rd. They want Trump and not their socialism proCCP communist government.
Merger of the Century: Canada Should Join America
We don't want to become a state of America. We are a confederation of province and we are proud to be Canadian
USA has many territories that are not states. Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgan Islands to name a few... Greenland would be much better with the US.
Yes, I dont see Greenland becoming a State but a self governed Territory, with only 52000 people living there.
@@jamesmatheson5115 I agree.
Why would they be better with you than with Denmark? Be specific.
@@marcusjaybrode2129 Development for one, no country can support itself with only a small population of 52000, they want to self govern, thats fine, but to have the restraints of Danish non development is to their advantage.
@@marcusjaybrode2129 Denmark believes in the global warming hoax. Greenland wants to enjoy the production of oil, rare earth minerals that can improve their economy.
I am American.
They are not crazy. Look Puerto Rico.
If Greenland and Canada both become states, we will have as many states as Obama thought we had!
Getting there... but ODUMBO said 57.
I hope the Greenlanders, make the right decision and stay sovereign. I also agree that political & economics
ties are better for Greenland.
Greeland will be the 52nd state canada will be 51st state
Talk of annexing Canada was political posturing only. He isn't going to follow through with it.
Dream on, Yankee. 😂🤣🤣
@@marcusjaybrode2129 We don't want Canada! It is too poor to pay enough for any country to want it!!
I’d like to see Greenland join America rather then get forced into ownership by China.
The Green new deal that I will fully support.😂
The ONLY green deal I would ever support!
HOW HAS GREENLAND BECOME PART OF DENMARK ??
- In connection with the sale of THE WEST INDIES ISLANDS to the US in 1917, Denmark had its claim to extend its sovereignty to all of Greenland recognized. A number of other countries also approved the claim and resigned themselves to Denmark taking all of Greenland under its rule in 1921.
Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but has a high degree of autonomy, which was most recently expanded in 2009.
- However, the autonomy does not include national affairs such as foreign and security policy and currency policy.
How much money does Greenland receive from Denmark?
Amount. The block grant to Greenland in 2024 was 4.3 billion...
It has 56,000 people. A state with as many people as in a typical NFL stadium? ha ha
How many electoral votes would that get Greenland? 0.5? I fear for the fair representation of Greenland going forward if this goes ahead.
Have it make the world beautiful and lovely
Greenland will be much better under American ownership than it currently is under Denmark.
Greenlanders should welcome American ownership now otherwise if they don't, China will step in and eventually take control of it.
Not so fast ! EU leader stand up not
Aloud Trump crossing in Europe !.
I don’t think so mate because European countries, including U.K. and France and Germany and Italy won’t let that happen. Europe is rearming.
Where did America put their natives? Ooh in reservations. Why should anyone give up their current state of the art social security network to get fuked over by a failed US system?
America would be much better under Danish ownership.
@@thomperry1187 Elon Musk who is reaching for the stars would not agree with you.
It's about shipping lanes and potentially resources. Canada and Greenland/ Denmark both lack a navy capable of deterring Chinese and Russian incursions/ bullying. The melt of arctic ice opens up opportunities and challenges.
Seems like a project that will pay for itself.
Greenland will easily turn into a well planned State of AI or smart cities and towns with a real international airport and seaport for immigrants from Europe and the Americas. Because it's a new place, there'll be lots of jobs and low cost of living.
Is Inuits have that rights to make a national decision or vote for its own future is a much important question than just imagine they can.
America deserve to take Greenland if they did not protect it another big fish would have surely take it away from Denmark
Says every promotional video of every coloniser throughout history that only seeks to exploit the resources of their new colony. I only hope that IF this goes ahead, a) the Greenlandic people get to vote on any changes, b) that their heritage, customs and way of life will be respected, and their natural habitats persevered and c) that one's the resources are depleted and the Arctic Ocean freezes over again, so all Arctic trade routes are closed, the U.S. won't just discard the empty husk of what is left of Greenland. And I say this as an Aussie conservative who is pro-Trump and the U.S.
PRES TRUMP SHOULD START BY CANCELING YEARLY USA DONATIONS OF. $12,100,000 to GREENLAND IMMEDIATELY.
not bad, but it shouldn't be forceful nor economic coersion as it will be seen as desperation
Well, firstly, Alaska surely hasn’t been ravaged by environmental exploitation as the earth-worshippers would have all believe. Rather, Alaskans have prospered from their state’s resources.
It should go just as well for Greenlanders, most of whom are currently settled along its southeaster rim, particularly in the city of Ruuk.
There would, however, be at least this one problem with Greenland coming in with the status of US statehood - its excessively low population.
Right now, the average population of a congressional district (CD) is somewhere around ¾ of a million.
The state with the currently lowest population of a CD is Wyoming, with under 700,000.
Trump recently suggested more realistically that Greenland might be combined into single state with Maine, which already has two CDs. In this arrangement, Maine would continue to have its two CDs, since the addition 56,000 to its population would not significantly affect its total.
Nearby Iceland, however, does have a population of 393,600 people.
If icy Iceland were to come in along with Greenland, it may be at least marginably justifiable for these two islands to enter as a single new state.
Might the Icelanders actually like such a new arrangement ?
We could include them in the NAFTA
Trump is dismantling NAFTA with threats of illegal tariffs. How does that figure into your analysis... if analysis is not grossly overstating the thinking behind the conclusion?
STOP BUYING US - BE PROUD
The Philippines to be the 52nd state, then
53rd will be Panama and 54th will be Yemen. 😜
Not Yemen.
If Greenland needs anybody it will rejoin the EU. Europe will rearm but is hesitating because of its reliance on America.
We’ll buy them you’ll see
@ Not this time. Canada isn’t Alaska.
EU/NATO cannot survive militarily without the USA. So, I doubt that EU want to upset the USA and risk America withdrawing from NATO> Yes?
Let's put off the Cali fires first...
Recall Gavin Newsom first
Make Russia 54 state 😂😂😂😂
No. Russia is RUSSIA. Only Greenland and Panama Canal. Canada and the USA will strengthen their military and economic alliance to face off the Chinese expansion.
God, You should call America Russia. Trump did what to be like Russia and North Korea. So can The Netherlands take New York back and change the name back to New Amsterdam. Also you can give statue of liberty back to France and replace it with a swash sticker
That would not happen Son
Greenland isnt the largest Island, Australia is.
Thanks for your comment! Australia isn't an island because it’s already a continent.
@@AI_Shorts_Agent No. It's a 'continental island'. The world's smallest continent and largest 'island' (continent).
@@Locutus.Borg. Australia is disqualified as an island, because it refers to a group either a country or a continent. As a country, Australia includes Tasmania and other neighboring islands. As a continent, it includes New Zealand and pacific islands.
@@AI_Shorts_Agent I understand the country is a continent, however it still doesnt change the fact that it is a island, regardless of what geographers want to make you believe, the definition of a island is a land mass surrounded by water, so thats good enough for me.
@@ThorNado24 When you included New Zealand, you just described Oceania. It is a geographic region, NOT a continent, and belongs to a separate tectonic plate called Oceania. Zealandia, refers to the eighth continent between Australia and New Zealand. The mostly-submerged continent has New Zealand and New Caledonia rising from its depths, and was only put on the map by geologists in 2014. Australia is mostly on a single landmass and is referred to as an *island continent,* surrounded by oceans. New Zealand and Australia are both part of the Oceanian sub-region known as Australasia, with New Guinea being in Melanesia. In 1984, the name _Meganesia_ was suggested, meaning "great island" or "great island-group", for both the Pleistocene continent and the present-day lands, and this name has been widely accepted by biologists. _Meganesia_ includes mainland Australia, Tasmania, the island of New Guinea (Papua New Guinea and Western New Guinea), the Aru Islands, the Ashmore and Cartier Islands, most of the Coral Sea Islands, and some other nearby islands. Situated in the geographical region of Oceania, Australia is the smallest of the seven traditional continents.
Greenland would have to build more hotels I'm talking about large hotels and away for hundreds of thousands of people to visit and to explore their resources and their country or state which we would have to call it because everybody from the United States would take vacations in Greenland it would be an attraction that from what we understand it's such a gorgeous place to live the money they make from tourism would be fantastic
Left Wingers
What if the moon is made of cheese , packed in empty promises
You are Just making a comment that does not make sense at all.
Are you drunk on Vodka? or just sleepwalking and writing??😂
@@ToubaYouness Probably pure ignorance and stupidity!
I thought it was supposed to be Canada?
We surround them first by buying Greenland. Then we make our move on Canada. 😆
NOBODY WANTS CANADA!
Hahahaha! Nice joke!
It is not going to be 51 state. It will be consider US territory like Virgin island and few other islands.
You know NOTHING!
@JDDees Of course NOT! Just speculations if you permit!
America doesn't do all this stuff for them (for a better life), it's better to say they want to take advantage of Greenland (sorry my English)
what??? you make no sense whatsoever!
STOP putting words on the screen! If people want words, they can click the CC button... THUMBS DOWN FOR IGNORANCE!
