NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte just agreed with President Trump on Greenland and is calling on Denmark to immediately begin negotiations.

A large part of it is due to political corruption, with underlying kickbacks and payoffs . Most of which involved investors who were off-island. Debt skyrocketed in the 70's when the government used bond investment money to balance its budget ( I am not a finance guru, but apparently not a solid plan ). Add to that the cycle of devastating natural disasters, i.e. Hurricnae Maria. There is a lot of blame to pass around, and I truely do not know if statehood vs. independence vs. staus-quo is the answer. I am in Puerto Rico right now, awaiting the arrival of my new grandson who is due any day. The people here are truely wonderful, but the economic strain is wearing on their resolve.
I get to talk with many different immigrants from lots of countries and I enjoy talking with them . Seems Puerto Ricans have the most anger .

We let millions of Italians become Americans. 50,000 white people from Greenland shouldn't bother you. Unless you don't like white people? Unlike the Roman Empire we will at least let them decide. It is 2025.

I have no problem with Greenlanders voting to be independent, apply for statehood or citizenship. My original point was becoming a U.S. territory is not a panacea for prosperity.
My parents and grandparents thank you for letting us become citizens.

Maybe Greenland should check in with Puerto Rico about the incredible benefits of U.S colonization ? It is essentially paradise now under U.S. oversight.

I just got a good laugh out of the colonization part of this.

Were they Benito Mussolini supporters?

Greenland isn't Puerto Rico either. People don't live there for the weather. It is a blue collar population.

Not funny at all. They were hard working people who fled Fascism and poverty. Many of the people in their towns were killed by the Nazi's and the Blackshirts of Mussolini.
Get a grip. They came thru Ellis Island with all the proper documentation. They worked in the steel mills and worked for a better life for their familys. Because of them, I was able to be the first generation in my family to go to college. I'm a proud WVU grad, thanks to their sacrifice.
We're were having a conversation about Greenland and you go " were they Mussolini supporteers".
What, did your family come over on the Mayflower ? Idiot.

You're not the only one that has Italian heritage so my question was legit. Especially when you brought up the United States and colonization. It's Neo-Marxist propaganda. There isn't a place on the globe that hasn't been conquered at one point or another. As an American I'm not going to apologize for what it took for us to become a Great Nation. Nobody including Trump thinks we should take Greenland by force. But we definitely aren't going to allow China and Brics to have it either. We at a minimum need them to be a big ally.

FYI Mussolini might of been a National Socialist but he was still a Socialist dictator. Lots of Italians hated Communist and Nazi's. Unfortunately Commies and Nazi's like to fight each other and drag everyone else into it.

Do you know why Italians were called WOP? With out papers, My great grand father came here in the late 1800's. Settled in the mingo county area. He was a stone mason like so many Italians. I'm not sure he had papers.

You are wasting your time with Gunny. If you keep it up, he'll pull his "I'm a veteran with PTSD" card on you.

What does that have to do with colonization. You did read through the entire thread before entering the conversation didn't you? If you want to promote that the United States is a bunch of evil colonizers go ahead and choke up on that bat and swing away. Most Americans understand it's Anti-American Communist Propaganda though.

Let's also not pretend Communist sympathizers don't have a history of attacking Veterans and Service Members either. They just learned different techniques since Vietnam.
