Trump wants to buy Greenland. The country

“half-decomposed reindeer taint”

There is a single word for this in Iceland because of its central place in the local cuisine.

half-decomposed reindeer taint; Halvopløste rensdyrsafskum!

Anything is for sale if you have the determination, means and methods.
Denmark couldn’t afford not to sell.

Sudetenland, Crimea and Tibet weren’t for sale either.

[IpoNokaoi]

Does he realize that only 7000 white people live in Greenland, and the other 48000 are Inuit?

SEND THEM BACK SEND THEM BACK SE…

Once the ice is gone it will be even easier to get to the natural resources. I’d rather Greenland remains autonomous and ruled by its native inhabitants when that happens.

@markstephan

Yeah hyperbole and Trump and all, but I for one think it’s an interesting idea. It’ll be green in 20 years, shipping, resources, defense… There is a multinational scramble for resources and claims to land up north right now…

It’s not the first time the US has offered to buy Greenland. We tried in the mid 20th century. I doubt Denmark is selling, and Greenlanders have a strong Danish identity.

I think its more like Scotland than Wales.

They have an international football team and are trying to join FIFA, for some reason (maybe they don’t have enough corruption in their sports).

Is it just me thinking that all the animation is lacking are some Terry Gilliam style motifs?

“I’ll take two Halvopløste rensdyrsafskum, over-easy, on rye.”

Greenland has a cool flag. I remember them adopting it. It was inspired by the sun setting over an icefield.

Do you know where I can buy that tshirt?
I’ve never worn anything political before. But if it gets even one person to think it would be worth it

[Mangochin]

And those lost vikings and their giant eagle mounts

The US military doesn’t have enough manpower for its “forever war” in Afghanistan.

What makes you think we have the people to spare to essentially go to war with a NATO ally?

I doubt he’s ever played a board game more complicated than Candy Land

I taught my 7 y/o how to play tic-tac-toe. Within ~10 games she figured out how to cat’s game every opening move.

I would love to see 45 play tic-tac-toe with my daughter. Not that I want him anywhere near her.

[euansmith]

Trump could speak to your daughter through the grill in his cell, and call out his moves. That would okay.

[SheiffFatman]

Would the Greenlanders get a say?

[Franko]

“Greenland is not for sale.”

No thanks, we're not for sale, aghast Greenland tells Trump

[Robbo]

[Headache]

Yep. It’s one of the smarter things I’ve heard him say. Greenland could be unbelievably important for the next 100 years.
