In a response to US President Donald Trump’s latest threat to seize control of Greenland, the leaders of the Danish autonomous region’s five main political parties issued a joint statement late Friday declaring the future of the island should be decided by Greenlanders.
Greenlanders are 90% an indigenous Inuit people. They have every right to self determination, and to cast off Danish colonialism, that has a dark past: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/02/1133382
But they are also well aware that the US is not a liberator and has been and is going to be an even worse colonial power: https://youtube.com/shorts/rlz2EOQWJgg
I didn’t know that Greenlanders are 90% indigenous Inuit people.
I am even more concerned about an American invasion of Greenland now. No wonder Trump is treating Greenland like its unoccupied.
89.5% apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland#Demographics
It’s worth noting that while colonialism in the past has not been good (that goes for almost all European countries…), Greenland is not a colony of Denmark today. Greenland as well as the Faroe Islands are part of the Kingdom of Denmark (which is not the same as Denmark, the country) and has their own government and everything.
So Trump don’t want them to be American either…
