https://www.reuters.com/world/poll-shows-85-greenlanders-do-not-want-be-part-us-2025-01-29/ An opinion poll indicated that 85% of Greenlanders do not wish their Arctic island - a semi-autonomous Danish territory - to become a part of the United States, with nearly half saying they see interest by U.S. President Donald Trump as a threat.
Trump said earlier this month that Greenland was vital to U.S. security and Denmark should give up control of the strategically important island.
The survey by pollster Verian, commissioned by the Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenlandic daily Sermitsiaq, showed only 6% of Greenlanders are in favour of their island becoming part of the U.S., with 9% undecided.
The poll showed that 45% viewed Trump's interest in Greenland as a threat, with 43% saying they see it as an opportunity, leaving 13% undecided.
Greenland enjoys many of the same welfare benefits as Denmark such as universal healthcare and free education.
Only 8% of those polled said they would be willing to change their Danish citizenship to American, 55% said they would prefer to be Danish citizens, and 37% were undecided.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Tuesday she had given full backing to the principle of maintaining respect for international borders, following meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and NATO chief Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
"I am pleased if the survey is an expression that many Greenlanders would like to see a continued close cooperation with Denmark. Probably in a different form than what we know today, because everything changes over time," she told Berlingske in response to the poll.
Denmark said on Monday it would spend 14.6 billion crowns ($2.04 billion) on boosting its military presence in the Arctic.

Talking with danes on /pol/ this last week have been funny. They unironically believe they have a choice, or that the rest of NATO is going to launch nukes at us to protect it.
This is a geopolitical snuggle struggle.

>>1378841 Nukes. Maybe not.
But you really won't be able to take it, and your economy won't survive the attempts. Look at the outcome of the last few attempts made for military expansion if you need a pointer.
Also, you need to worry about a lot more than NATO. Ofc, that'll be easily repurposed against you as it is the russians, But there's a decent handfull of treaties and on top of that, there's a dencent amount that will get involved on principle. Not including the supply of UUV's china will literally give greenland just to fuck with you - I'm so looking forwards to your aircraft carriers going to the sea floor as they try to compete in the game of drone swarms - then there's a(n impressive) queue of countries that you've given great excuses to, who, whilst you're moving right will be stupid not to move in from the left.
And they're the ones you'd want to worry about, with nukes, they've already mapped the holes in space fence ready, and have hollowed out container vessels already moving through panama in preperation. They're just wating for the excuses. Leaving yourself weakened and fragmented will probably be enough.

>>1378847 NATO isn't going to fight us because we give them financial aid and make up more than half of the military might of NATO. If we fall, so does our sphere of influence, which protects cuck countries like Canada and Greenland.
China isn't a threat. Every piece of technology they flout, they originally stole from us, including the facial recognition software they use to keep track of social credit scores.
Making drones fly in a preprogrammed pattern, so that they make the shape of a dragon, isn't indicative of technological supremacy. It's dumb shit that a highschooler can do in his spare time.
If you want to know what our drones can do, look at the UAP footage that began showing up around military bases and aircraft carriers. Those are ours.

>China isn't a threat As evidenced by how butthurt y'all getting with regards to crippling their ability to advance.
>Every piece of technology they flout, they originally stole from us, There is significant example, yes. Pretty much anything you've got that they wanted, they alread taken. But they are building their own, and have began to surpass what they stole.
Much in the same way everything you have is an enhancment of the things you stole from europe, and what you learned from. Only you stole primitive mechanics, and they stole precision mechanics.
>isn't indicative of technological supremacy. It's dumb shit that a highschooler can do in his spare time. No. That was indicated when they kicked in your backdoors and took everything, then improved upon it. And started producing in numbers.
Yes, drawing dragons with drones is a highschool project, that's not the peak of their abilities. The most important being the scale to which they can manufacture incredibly cheap drones. Look at the ukraine for how this has changed the shape of warfare, and they can produce the largest numbers in the shortest amount of time. Consider a fair selection of UUV's are essentially self-guided torpedo, it's unlikely they'll be used to draw dragons, and it's even more unlikely a carrier group will survive many waves.
And that's just below the surface.
Also. China isn't the only punks that you need to concern of. There's plenty with capacity, just waiting for an opening. You've delivered enough incentive to ensure an opportunity will be capitlised upon.

>>1378854 >Push them. See what happens. We already are. They won't do anything. Which is why this argument is pointless.
>As evidenced by how butthurt y'all getting with regards to crippling their ability to advance. They thought the experimental plane in the newest Top Gun movie was real.
Their critical infrastructure is made out of recycled corn cobs and covered with plaster to make it look like concrete.
They fill fields full of rebar in the vain hope of fooling our satellites into thinking they are fields full of crops.
They are desperately seeking to avoid another revolution after losing the mandate of heaven. That is why they lie about and steal their achievements, even though their own people eat fake rice, fake eggs and use oil from sewers for cooking.
Whatever advancements you think they've made do not exist. They merely steal and bluff their way through geopolitics, using the tools we developed. They hardly qualify as human.
>Consider a fair selection of UUV's are essentially self-guided torpedo We've had these for half a century.
The drones Ukraine enjoys are our military surplus combined with IEDs and/or mortars attached to them.
We literally wrote and published books online how to make this shit at home. That's how the Taliban learned how to make black powder explosives in the desert using nothing but camel spit and urine.
China, Russia et al. won't do shit because they know we will drop the sun on their head if they try.
The only thing more enjoyable to an American is the prospect of conquering foreign nations.
War is our bread and our sport. That is why we will take Greenland.
