A word of caution,independence doesn't always leads to prosperity.Many countries following independence fell into poverty.A union based on equal terms is a much better solution,just like Greenland has now.
The US can offer so much more than Denmark. Greenlanders would keep their current political system and experience an economic boom from the US mining/drilling and also from controlling of the Arctic Passage
they'd be screwed if they get independence, they depend so much on denmark, the minerals are very hard to get to, they'll have to give china and russia more contracts (so they grow stronger while the u.s. aka nato grows weaker), then they maybe sell of parts of their country just to get by, and they still only have 56k people trying to keep their country the size of alaska and california put together safe (enough coastline to wrap around the earth), if they become a U.S. state then it makes things much easier, like another alaska, I'd love greenland to sit there untouched and beautiful but that's not being realistic, it's a liability for our security (including denmark's security), it's going to get taken advantage of, the people aren't happy, greenland has the HIGHEST rate of suicide in the world fun fact, greenland is nearly identical in size as the louisina purchase and about the same distance from the u.s. as alaska is from the u.s.

Greenland is part of Denmark. Greenland's area is 836,300 mi². Denmark's area is 16,584 mi². Funny. Freedom for Greenland, or maybe Freedom for Denmark.
Greenland should not become independent as long as Trump is in office. Greenland as an independent country would be much more vulnerable to Trump’s pressure.
Russia has also said they want Greenland. 60k people can't defend their territory. So it will be taken from them. They don't grasp how Denmark keeps them alive
Security concerns with Greenland extend beyond military bases. A significant aspect is the potential presence of rare earth elements, which are strategically important for computing and weapons systems produced by US manufacturers. While I don't believe this justifies taking territory, the argument centers on the US needing these resources for national and NATO security
The U.S. doesn’t even have the resources to mine these minerals, so taking over a territory is a really bad argument. U.S. investments are welcome in Greenland. But don’t count on getting oil or uranium. Greenlanders have already decided that that stays in the ground. Both Denmark and Greenland would welcome increase U.S. military presence for sure.
Whats the point of taking over Greenland, if Denmark, and Greenland as part of it is already part of American-lead NATO alliance, you can already build any kind of defencive bases and invest how much of you want in Greenland. Even by creating cracks in NATO you help russia and china
@@МиколаРиндя It's the difference between a promise and a guarantee. If Greenland gains independence, it could leave the EU and NATO, potentially severing any past agreements. For national security, the US prioritizes a guarantee since promises can be broken.

When you report on Greenland, please don't mangle the name of its capital, Nuuk. It's actually very easy to get it right. Avoid saying "nook" (as in nook and corner), and don't pronounce it like the English word "nuke" either (as in "he is threatening to nuke his enemy "). Instead, say "Nuuk" as if it were a combination of "new" and "ook" (not unlike the "ook" in "nook"). So, it's "New-ook", phonetically speaking. Even Danes who have lived here in Greenland for years and don't speak the language can generally pronounce the name of the capital correctly. So you can, too. Incidentally, a "nuuk" in Greenlandic refers to a headland or the tip of a peninsula. Now you all know a little bit of Greenlandic! Next lesson: stop talking about the US "acquiring" Greenland. It gives us the heebie-jeebies. 😅
Let's say, a big guy wants to buy an apartment complex or a small group of houses, since in two years, there will be something happening in the next block and wants to demolish the apartments or houses and turn them to parking spot.

Europeans who worship their kings and loyal families in 2025 want to deny the reality. IDK whether Greenlanders want to bocome a part of US, But it looks obvious that they want to be independent from Denmark.
Greenland wants to be independent. But they would however prefer their relationship with Denmark rather than be a US Territory. The Scandinavian welfare and educational systems are far superior to those in the US. They also have a lot more personal freedom being with Denmark. The US rank 17 on the personal freedom index, while Denmark ranks 2. Also as a US Territory, people wouldn't even be allowed to vote.
They want to be independent, but would rather be with Denmark, than become a US Territory. The Scandinavian welfare and educational systems are light-years ahead of those in the US.

And as a citizen in a US Territory, you are not even allowed to vote.
Referendum?,and youre gonna protect greenland with what?,snowballs?,if you cant defend yourself any talk abaut independence is idiotic,whole infrastracture can be taken quite easily if you cant defend yourself or at least put up a fight its a lost cause.
"a kind like Denmark" what dose that even mean ? and by rights you mean what exactly ? as far as i know Denmark have better rights then the US. Unless you are a billionaire.
So When Denmark Surrendered to Germany while The United States built the first Airports on Greenland to Save it, The United States has a say. In 1943 Americans outnumbered Danes in Greenland.
Greenland definitely needs to be an unincorporated territory. The problem is, they can't possibly defend themselves. The only way to ensure that is to become a territory of the US. Imagine how well they could progress if they received the same kinds of tax credits every year to its citizens like Alaska, and had the USA's ability to built out real infrastructure. It would be far greater than what they get from Denmark. Operating autonomously, their quality of life and recognition of human rights under US Constitutional Law would be far superior than being treated like subjects under an outdated monarchical system.
The Danes also have a lot to say. It will demand a Wote from the Danish people, and not only the govement in Denmark. and the people in Denmark says NO.
Whats the point of taking over Greenland, if Denmark, and Greenland as part of it is already part of American-lead NATO alliance, you can already build any kind of defencive bases and invest how much of you want in Greenland. Even by creating cracks in NATO you help russia and china
Denmark does all that. And the US has a base or two for their early radars directed towards Russia. Greenland can't protect themselves. It will be taken over
Like it or hate it, Greenland would receive far greater benefits by joining the U.S. Netherlands gives it $1B per year? U.S would give more than 10X that and actually develop it.
Develop Alaska first, yankee. And it's Denmark, not Netherlands. And whats the point of taking over Greenland, if Denmark, and Greenland as part of it is already part of American-lead NATO alliance, you can already build any kind of defencive bases and invest how much of you want in Greenland.

There were no "indigenous people" on the island. When the vikings arrived, no one was there. That made the Vikings the indigenous people of Greenland. Northern Europeans (Vikings) are the original indigenous people of Greenland. The Inuits came 300+ years later.
Greenland should join NAFTA as same our North America leagues. I think us as Mexico, US, and Canada can even help them to make their process faster and more stable, giving security and economic relief We could help them to improve their airport and ports and help them join NAFTA products chain.
Greenland is already part of EU and Schengen. They have free trade to the whole EU and as people. They can travel and live in any EU country (27+4) of their choice. They also have full & free Healthcare and free university education.
Why would they want that? They get free healthcare and education as an autonomous part of Denmark. The US doesn't even offer those things to its own citizens.
Maybe Denmark can offer California 1$ to separate from the rest of the USA? The huge Federal taxes paid by California to subsidize poor the Reds states could be reduced.
This is a win for Greenland , because now they have the attention they have always been wanting. The Danes are imperialistic as always. Greenland should be independent as a country by itself.
Everything is for sale, even Greenland. For $114 Billion you could give every Greenlander $2 million. USA could easily afford this, but Denmark couldn't.
1. Why couldn’t Denmark afford that? 2. You are sure that all Greenlanders would give up their independence for that price? 3. Private land ownership isn’t allowed in Greenland.
Greenland will be a more prosperous and safer place if they joined the united states. They will be transformed into what they fear most if they allow russia or china in the door. And those two will force their way in if you don't agree to let them in. I say to you in greenland think about that.
The reason was ‘fishing rights’. Greenlanders care more about money than ‘tradition’. At least the ones living in Nuuk. They have representation in the EU in order to get money from the EU. That money is NOT being spent on ‘tradition’.
Trump should start worrying about the shty country he is going to president. 35 trillions in debt, and growing with trillions every year, taxpayers paying the interestrates in 100s of millions usd every year, most of it goes to china.

I still can't believe journalists...welll "journalists" are actually expending effort reporting on this topic. Thankfully I'm not German and so I didn't have to pay for that dude and his camera operator to fly out there and talk about this non issue.
57k population will not stand still to anybody especially with Russian and Chinese+America.. with Denmark at least u'll have defense..these big countries are in expansion mode
Europeans who worship their kings and loyal families in 2025 want to deny the reality. IDK whether Greenlanders want to bocome a part of US, But it looks obvious that they want to be independent from Denmark.
Greenland wants to be independent. But they would however prefer their relationship with Denmark rather than be a US Territory.
The Scandinavian welfare and educational systems are far superior to those in the US.
They also have a lot more personal freedom being with Denmark. The US rank 17 on the personal freedom index, while Denmark ranks 2.
Also as a US Territory, people wouldn't even be allowed to vote.
They want to be independent, but would rather be with Denmark, than become a US Territory.
The Scandinavian welfare and educational systems are light-years ahead of those in the US.
And personal freedom would also be a big step backwards, since the US only ranks 17 on the personal freedom index. Denmark ranks 2.
And as a citizen in a US Territory, you are not even allowed to vote.
Referendum?,and youre gonna protect greenland with what?,snowballs?,if you cant defend yourself any talk abaut independence is idiotic,whole infrastracture can be taken quite easily if you cant defend yourself or at least put up a fight its a lost cause.
You guys were under our control in WW2. Come on back. We don’t have a kind like Denmark. We got a bill of rights.
And the biggest debt the world has ever seen.
"a kind like Denmark" what dose that even mean ? and by rights you mean what exactly ? as far as i know Denmark have better rights then the US. Unless you are a billionaire.
Yes and the british liberated us.
If it’s about money I’m sure Norway woud like to lend a hand to their neighbours or even place a bid against trump just for fun
Greenland is part of Dennark and Kosovo is part of Serbia, so what?
When I think remember taught in school because American had to go war with Philippine and Cuba closed by 1800s.
What the people of Donbass want for their future ?
We'll find out after martial law lifts. You can't hold a referendum during martial law
Be free from Russia after all those forced mobilizations of their men I guess, but who knows.
Peace
Freedom and democracy.
@ Your name does't really sound like from here.
So When Denmark Surrendered to Germany while The United States built the first Airports on Greenland to Save it, The United States has a say. In 1943 Americans outnumbered Danes in Greenland.
amazing, one line and a word, yet you get 5 things wrong... that has to be a record.. did you study in trump university?
@madselmvig1457 Why don't you point out the mistake.
Putin speech bubble.
@andg2984 What does that even mean🤔
Looks like Greenland need’s some freedom
Get lost
😂 I know what you mean. Brilliant. 😂👍🏻
Yeah, freedom from school shootings and national debt.
Freedom, usa bans tiktok, meanwhile greenland has free education and healthcare
if sovereignty is lost all is lost
Give up health care?
Green needs Independence ! For sure
Greenland definitely needs to be an unincorporated territory. The problem is, they can't possibly defend themselves. The only way to ensure that is to become a territory of the US. Imagine how well they could progress if they received the same kinds of tax credits every year to its citizens like Alaska, and had the USA's ability to built out real infrastructure. It would be far greater than what they get from Denmark. Operating autonomously, their quality of life and recognition of human rights under US Constitutional Law would be far superior than being treated like subjects under an outdated monarchical system.
The Danes also have a lot to say. It will demand a Wote from the Danish people, and not only the govement in Denmark. and the people in Denmark says NO.
Kuno Fencker......acting like a teenager who wants to be independent......but does'nt want to pay what it costs ;-)
I think that trump was sending Denmark(indirectly) and allies a message. Let's trade fairly.
In today world, it’s a strategic location, soon or later it goes to US
Whats the point of taking over Greenland, if Denmark, and Greenland as part of it is already part of American-lead NATO alliance, you can already build any kind of defencive bases and invest how much of you want in Greenland. Even by creating cracks in NATO you help russia and china
Usa have proven its alright to take over countries if you are bigger and stronger. Very smart move😂 the world is looking into a great future.
US government's debt is 123% of GDP. Danish gov debt is 29%GDP.. Greenland can help to pay US debt with its natural resources 😅
he is crazy 😂
Could you imagine how Greenland would look after US intervention🙄?
It would look and burn like California under the demoncrats.
McDonalds & Pizza Huts
I imagine like Colorado farms, mines and pockets of very rich people like a ski town thing
Pretty awesome actually, lots of development like we did for Iceland
Not McDonalds, McDonaldTrump
Don’t ever trust Trump or his family
Yal only find people that only disagree
Even if it is for sale, make sure it's not paid by the dollar. Dollars can be printed, and they are worthless. the price should be tons of gold.
Does Denmark have a military base in Greenland? Who protects Denmark and Greenland? Freedom isn't free!
who told you freedom is not free?
Denmark does all that. And the US has a base or two for their early radars directed towards Russia.
Greenland can't protect themselves. It will be taken over
The EU genius
@@THEPRESSTVThe EU? Hah, its Denmark of course
They have several, including multiple dog sled patrols and inspection ships.
Take care of our own Nations issues. Leave Greenland alone. Do biz ,stay an Alliance,but they want their independence. Just let them be. .
Like it or hate it, Greenland would receive far greater benefits by joining the U.S. Netherlands gives it $1B per year? U.S would give more than 10X that and actually develop it.
wonder why Netherland would pay 1B to Greenland, They have nothing to do with Greenland
Develop Alaska first, yankee. And it's Denmark, not Netherlands. And whats the point of taking over Greenland, if Denmark, and Greenland as part of it is already part of American-lead NATO alliance, you can already build any kind of defencive bases and invest how much of you want in Greenland. Even by creating cracks in NATO you help russia and china
“Develop” drill baby drill… 🙄
@@МиколаРиндяAlaska is devoloped than Moscow😂
I liked the part where they found the single Chinese guy in Greenland what he thought!
that guy is Inuit, not chinese 🙄
He's not Chinese ,he's Eskimo,the natives of Greenland.
You're a testament to the US American "education" system...
Come to Brazil Greenland ❤
Now that's a laugh.
The US should buy Ukraine.
What about climate change 😂
It is an island of indigenous people discovered by a viking. Of course it should be part of america.
It makes a lot sense!
So they can put the natives in reservations and give them biohazard blankets? 😐
There were no "indigenous people" on the island. When the vikings arrived, no one was there. That made the Vikings the indigenous people of Greenland. Northern Europeans (Vikings) are the original indigenous people of Greenland. The Inuits came 300+ years later.
Ireland is now part of America too😂... We even speak native english and love American cash💰🇮🇪🤝🇺🇲
@@vask3863
But, we won.
It's our land. 😊
Just like Europeans won over the native americans and claimed the land.
Greenland should join NAFTA as same our North America leagues.
I think us as Mexico, US, and Canada can even help them to make their process faster and more stable, giving security and economic relief
We could help them to improve their airport and ports and help them join NAFTA products chain.
Greenland is already part of EU and Schengen. They have free trade to the whole EU and as people. They can travel and live in any EU country (27+4) of their choice. They also have full & free Healthcare and free university education.
If Greenland wants, it should be with Denmark otherwise no
They should become independent and then become the first autonomous part of the US.
Why would they want that? They get free healthcare and education as an autonomous part of Denmark. The US doesn't even offer those things to its own citizens.
Maybe Denmark can offer California 1$ to separate from the rest of the USA? The huge Federal taxes paid by California to subsidize poor the Reds states could be reduced.
Greenland will be rich just collecting fee for ships traveling past Greenland water.
Usa as always escalating wars everywhere
57,000 people don’t get their own independent country. That’s not even a medium size city.
Have you checked out the tiny European countries? Andorra, Luxembourg and Lichtenstein? San Marino as well.
If you talking about being colonies by american. Before american have colonies Philippine back then history american empire.
This is a win for Greenland , because now they have the attention they have always been wanting. The Danes are imperialistic as always. Greenland should be independent as a country by itself.
Yep they should be independent. The Americans just don't get that. Independence from Denmark and The USA.
You should do better research!
Everything is for sale, even Greenland. For $114 Billion you could give every Greenlander $2 million. USA could easily afford this, but Denmark couldn't.
1. Why couldn’t Denmark afford that?
2. You are sure that all Greenlanders would give up their independence for that price?
3. Private land ownership isn’t allowed in Greenland.
Didn't you get the memo? Slavery and colonialism is over. You cannot buy another people _or_ their country.
Denmark you have 3 days to surrender the land
“I like to work for USA” and “i dont really care what happens.” Already SOLD to usa
Greenland will be a more prosperous and safer place if they joined the united states. They will be transformed into what they fear most if they allow russia or china in the door. And those two will force their way in if you don't agree to let them in. I say to you in greenland think about that.
Does not look like Greenlandic people wanted to join EU because Greenlandic people value their tradition. joining EU will destroy their tradition.
The reason was ‘fishing rights’.
Greenlanders care more about money than ‘tradition’. At least the ones living in Nuuk.
They have representation in the EU in order to get money from the EU. That money is NOT being spent on ‘tradition’.
You will be better off than you are now if you don't care what anyone says and just choose America.
trump's gotta go to greenland in person
Yeah. Hope they will greet him with a few hungry polar bears.
Trump should start worrying about the shty country he is going to president. 35 trillions in debt, and growing with trillions every year, taxpayers paying the interestrates in 100s of millions usd every year, most of it goes to china.
FOR THE EMPIRE!! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED BREATHING ROOM!!
Honeslty Greenland would probably be better off as an American state.
Poor Denmark
Rich Denmark.
Strangely, there seems to be some confusion regarding this matter. It is almost as is everyone thinks that Europe and Greenland has a say. They don’t.
How is Greenland a part Denmark exactly? Because a few raiders from Europe landed on it a thousand or so years ago?
yeap. Thats how the European nations colonized America as well
same way Hawaii became a part of the US
Welcome to the United States of America Greenland…. Can’t wait to go to Trumpland, Greenland… America could buy it or take it pick one
