Of course it's a colony; this is just an observable fact. This is true regardless of how Greenland polls. Agency is immaterial.

It’s not more a colony than Purto Rico is. Would you say US would be OK if China annexes Purto Rico because they are a colony of US?

US foreign policy is nearly as dimwitted as european foreign policy is. Of course puerto rico is a colony.

But also, actually, if China did annex puerto rico? Snap snap snap. Good for them. They really made it out the hood. May god look upon the rest of us so positively

>"an architect of the Ukraine crisis". Architect of the Ukraine crisis is Russian armed forces crossing the border and occupying the land, everything else is irrelevant.

Fuck the eu in that context, EU showed weakness, it got us war.

And not just Airbus. Very quietly there is a lot of stuff being moved out of the US and away from MS, AWS, Google etc. Trump has absolutely no idea what he's doing and comes across as the proverbial bull in a China shop. History books a hundred years hence will have some choice things to say about how we all stood by and let this happen.

Any concrete evidence of any of that outside of a few companies "exploring" the move? For most companies it's a non-starter

On a very small personal/hobby level: backblaze (which i like as a company) lost my business, moved stuff over to a European company. I'm not a multi million dollar business but I've started to do what i can.

Would have loved to visit the US and see all the things it has to offer, but absolutely not planning to in this climate. I think the US is currently at billions lost in just Canadian tourism?

Currently Denmark participates in financing Greenland, pulling the rug on it would likely not be pleasant for the greenlanders and if they did I'd count that as rather dickish unless the greenlanders had a near consensus on the issue and asked the danish parliament to do it. Well, some justice have been sought and won, but a lot remains. To me it seems like an attempt at distraction to clump together the treatment of…

Ok, why doesn't denmark finance birundi? > Well, some justice have been sought and won And yet denmark hasn't burned. How do you remediate this contradiction? > To me it seems like an attempt at distraction to clump together the treatment of the Mau Mau and the nuking of Algeria with Denmark's relation with Greenland. Believe me, britain deserves far worse than just being burned down. But denmark still must face just…

You make it sound that the brits were the bad guys, when it was an elite top % pulling the strings and the rest were mostly trying to make ends meet.

But yes agree, the elite extracting wealth from the colonies back in the days, and still are extracting wealth from your average Joe, deserves far worse.

Source??? A US administration that is completely out of control.

They're doing what they were voted in to do though? Most of what they're doing has high baseline approval ratings, just not in the specific implementation.

They've done great with those Epstein files. Totally published everything./s

> You can't trust what the Chinese government will do to it or with it. It's not clear that europe even trusts europe anymore. Especially with french and german economic dominance looking shakier than ever, debt financing an unpopular war in the east piling up, mounting deficits, industry collapse, youth unemployment... european countries (or greenland for that matter) could do a whole lot worse than turning to china…

Yea, in 29 Germany, France and UK will have elections, and far-right parties with anti-EU and partially pro-Russian attitudes are leading the polls. If they win, there will be hardly any unified "Europe" left. Why would I then trust Germany ruled by AfD over MAGA-America? At least with China there's some consistency. I can reliably trust them not to give a shit about me or my privacy, and to further their geopolitica…

Are you talking about the same China which has repeatedly performed industrial espionage, embedded surveillance into products, and supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine?
