Honestly, feeling “mistreated” is for the Greenlanders to tell the Danes, not us.

Depends on how badly we need the rare earth minerals from Greenland.

As a rule, abused people cannot speak for themselves.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz should probably stay here and send someone else in his place.
This is not the time to send Waltz where he will be surrounded by European reporters asking him about that wrongly sent strategy message. Waltz has shown the tendency to talk too much to the wrong people, as though he could convince them to accept logic.

Of course, but it's interesting to watch how he's going about trying to build support among the Greenlanders. I haven't read The Art of the Deal, but I wonder if this strategy is discussed.

This is the kind of diplomacy I hope the First Lady decides to get involved with. The fact that Melania is European by birth, and multi lingual would certainly work in her favor.

It’s like putting the moves on another man’s wife.

Most of the population on Greenland is indigenous...similar to the Inuit in Alaska and Canada. It is basically a Danish colony.

great powers sit in bigger chairs at bigger tables than little countries, and have very different rules.

No one's stopping Greenlanders from speaking.

So I guess that proves they're not abused.

Reported elsewhere, daily Mail I believe, the people stayed indoors and refuse to come out. A company closed a store that was intended to be used for Usha’s meet and greet.
Greenland was keen on joining the US but changed.

Greenland was never keen on joining the U.S.

Some Greenlanders want greater independence from Denmark. That was misreported (mostly by Trump's team) as wanting to be part of the U.S.

Did you know about the experiments done on the native women.
They might want out.

Yes. Trump is implying that the Greenlanders will get better treatment from America. Next he’ll offer them all a free Tesla to vote America.

Depends on how badly we need the rare earth minerals from Greenland.

or how badly we want the active Chinese mineral mine to expand and bring in other CCP controlled companies.
