While Denmark’s constitution recognizes the island’s right to decide on its own independence, if it became a sovereign nation it would lose the much-needed subsidies, which make up 60 percent of Greenland’s annual budget.

Sounds like Puerto Rico with icebergs.

The EU conflates itself with “Europe” deliberately all the time. Consequently, even French Guiana would be considered “part of Europe” despite being in South America.

The Monroe Doctrine had a purpose.

Smoking and tripping is all that they do at the AFP.

>> Just as we occupied Denmark’s Iceland at the outbreak of WWII <<

Yes, and just as the UK occupied “neutral” Portugal’s Azores Islands during the same War.

The UK would've liked neutral Ireland's Atlantic ports.

Maybe, just one (please).
