If Trump proposes to give the 56,000 residents of Greenland $100,000 each to vote on joining America, will you still consider it a bad idea that Denmark is preventing the sale of Greenland?
Vote buying. Cool.

I guess that the residents will need that cash for their new insurance premiums.

So, why is Trump at all interested in Greenland in the first place?

What’s the issue with vote buying? They aren’t American citizens, so if Trump offers them money because they’re fed up with being governed by Denmark, then what’s the concern?

Do you not see yourself as a progressive? Consider it from this perspective. Trump is presenting an opportunity for a population that is predominantly Inuit (people of color) which has faced marginalization and oppression, from a 90% white oppressor coutry. However, if you believe that it's in the best interest of the Inuit people of Greenland to remain under the oppression of Denmark, a nation predominantly composed of white individuals, then that's your perspective to hold.

However, I believe Trump is adopting a more progressive position than you are by providing the Inuit people with a significant financial contribution if he offers them money. When has the progressive, egalitarian, and socially liberal nation of Denmark, which is predominantly white, ever provided the people of Greenland with anything more than mere leftovers?

I support John Fettetman regarding this matter. It's unfortunate that he stands out as one of the few Democrats in the federal government who seems to be guided by common sense these days.

Seems problematic to me, but we just saw Elon do it in PA, so I’ll let you be on the side of ‘vote buying is good’.
Do you not see yourself as a progressive?
Generally, no. But you’d have to define what a progressive is, and I suspect you’ll have some difficulty doing so.

Therefore your proposal is for the Inuit people of Greenland to come under the dominion of the US, a nation predominantly composed of white individuals, with even less of a cultural tie to those people than Denmark. Got it.

Yeah, I’m not sure that’s much of a ‘solution’.
However, I believe Trump is adopting a more progressive position than you are …
Knowing how you feel about progressives, Hound, then I’d expect that you would soon lend your hand in the political movement to remove such a horrifyingly progressive politician from power. Get to it. ; )

Are you interested in placing a bet on whether the people of Greenland would choose the United States or Denmark if they were to vote on seceding from Denmark? I believe there is a strong likelihood that they will select America.

From what I have read, Greenlanders would choose 'neither of the above' if given the chance. They'd rather just be independent.

But … but, Chap - we just need to get Greenlanders to vote in ‘Murica’s favor, because if they do, then the US can absorb Greenland, and then kick out all of the Inuit for then being illegal aliens. MAGA!
