Please elaborate on how Greenland is US territory.


The US officially took over greenland after denmark allied with nazi germany during ww2. People forget that the danes were nazi collaborators. We defended greenland against the nazis/danes during ww2 and the soviets during the cold war. I'd say greenland is more of a US territory than even puerto rico or american samoa is. All trump has to do is make it official.


Seems Greenlanders didn't get the memo, the vast, overwhelming majority still think of themselves as "not Americans".

This is the problem with historical narratives, history is not established fact but a continuous re-evaluation of the past. There is always that wako who will interpret some convenient or made up facts as proof that "Greenland is American in all but name".


Oh boy, here we go. Now they even adopted Russia's playbook word by word.

> The US officially took over greenland after denmark *allied* with nazi germany during ww2. People forget that the danes were nazi collaborators.

Was occupied, comrade, is the word you're looking for. They've forgot to put it in your metodichka.


> Was occupied

Occupied? More like warmly welcomed in. Read about the german "invasion" of denmark if you want a good laugh. Denmark was nazi collaborators.

Your comments are more than enough, don't need to go there.


Denmark is within spitting distance of Hamburg, one of Germany's few major ports at the time. Easy for them to come in.

The UK grabbed Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
