Denmark's population is about 6 million, compared to New York City's 8.--- "They're freaked out." With good reason. And President Trump has highlighted this. Guess what other global powers will come knocking.....Greenland is considered a "self-governing country" within the "kingdom" of Denmark. Greenland's population is less than 60 thousand. Due to simple fertility demographics, that population is due to shrink rapidly now.
There will be many contenders for Greenland as time goes by. Conflict is assured. What form that conflict takes is as yet not assured. Tick tock.
His offer will be the nicest, long term.
If fertility is a problem, Greenland could skyrocket population by importing Muslims, who are prolific breeders.
If Greenland is a self governing country can they simply sign a mutual defense treaty with the United States and Canada (hopefully Trudeau will be gone but he doesn’t seem to go away).
