They've been given autonomy, Leroy. They're a self-governing territory.
So, we'll ask again. Do you believe the people of Greenland have the right to self-determination?
A simple yes or no will suffice.
Dear Karnal,
many blessings.
We have to go back to Yalta in 1945
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yalta_Conferenceto see how the big boys carved up the world - all on their own,
they didn't consult anyone - they just did it.
Nothing has changed.
30,000 people in Greenland - a small town's worth -
don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
The big boys decide.
Yalta was an agreement to divide
occupied territory, dearie.
Stalin and FDR went hard on Churchill to give up his occupation of Britain's colonies. Their successors spent the rest of the Cold War struggling for influence over those very colonies.
Britain did pull out. The US never wanted the hassle of colonies to begin with. Stalin and his successors never tried to annexe any territory for Russia, only political-economic influence. The USSR was a collection of socialist republics. Its satellites were independent socialist republics.
Your DL is making a pitch to
nationalize Greenland. The US already has influence, a military base and the right to any mining rights US companies want to negotiate.
The principle of national sovereignty is so intrinsic to your values, you've spent the past decade defending it.
We decide who comes to our country and the manner in which they come, no?
