Greenlanders reject Trump with 85% majority against joining US

It's the same rhetoric as Ukraine being vital to Russian security.

[rudeontuesdays@lemmy.world]

I've met some of these Canadians. They're conservatives who think Canada is a liberal hellscape and that being annexed by the USA would be a good thing.

[ep1cfac3pa1m@lemmy.world]

If my state wasn’t already part of the US I would not support joining.

[forrgott@lemm.ee]

Lol. Do you not know what "contrarian" means?

[30p87@feddit.org]

Yes, but with trolls I meant people going "What bullshit is that? Hell's gonna freeze before that happens, and this poll doesn't have a real impact anyway, would be funny to vote yes."

[a_baby_duck@lemmy.world]

President Musk hasn't paid the other 85% yet.

We call that Flatlander Syndrome.

[ceenote@lemmy.world]

Can parts of the US join Greenland, maybe? Just spitballing here.

[realitista@lemm.ee]

That's cute assuming he's going to give you a choice.

[realitista@lemm.ee]

What makes it yours is the military ability to conquer it and keep it. Which is why Greenland and Denmark should be vigilant:

Greenland's opinion doesn't matter to him, never did.

[allnewtypeface@leminal.space]

The 6% are probably bored people who think that everything is awesome in America, and when they join they’ll get awesome big cars and guns and rockets and superheroes and a Disneyland and cool flavours of Coke they only have in the US.

[diadelosmuertos@aussie.zone]

"contradicting trump's claim" !?!?!! Now just hang on there for a moment, is somebody suggesting that the man tells lies for goodness sake ???
And ok, those 6% should pack up and go live in America then. Idiots.

[lengau@midwest.social]

Well this should put the question of the US annexing Greenland to rest, as we know Donald Trump has historically been very good about following the democratic will of the people.

[valtia@lemmy.world]

Time to invade Greenland to protect a prosecuted, democracy-loving minority!

[whatsay@slrpnk.net]

Wait, they are allowed to have their votes count? Maybe America should join them

[foggenbooty@lemmy.world]

Both movements that are gaining members.

[floofloof@lemmy.ca]

The common clay of the new west.

[eagle0110@lemmy.world]

And being vital to security had absolutely nothing to do with this, Denmark is a NATO country, the US have literally ANY security need for Greenland they just give NATO a call and it will be done on Greenland, the US already have several military installation on Greenland done this way, including extremely critical installations like ICBM early warning radar facilities.

Security need is NEVER an excuse for the orange to pull this move.

I would have thought people worldwide had learned after Brexit that a vote on national sovereignty is not a proper avenue for trolling, but alas.
