Famous American imperialism, which has been feared by Poles for 45 years by the past system, is doing well. Recently, he reached out his hand to Greenland, causing the word "hands off Greenland". People in the power of age (i.e. 80+) inactive remember the inscriptions "hands distant from Korea". possibly the Americans have acted with rumors of any Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen's agreement with China on Greenland. most likely the Chinese, citing conventional Chinese-inuit friendship, offered cultural, technological and infrastructure exchange (high-speed next?) etc.
A fewer 100 1000 Chinese businessmen and advisors have been found in Venezuela's "reflected" recently, and their expulsion will surely be embarrassing.
It is worth recalling the 30-year-old American efforts by the Danes to acquisition the Virgin Islands, needed in connection with the construction of the Panama Canal. At the time there were besides arguments about "the territorial integrity of the sacred land of the Danish crown". due to the fact that the regulation over these 3 tiny Caribbean islands was very costly to the Danish payer (because not to the king), it was yet agreed to sale in 1917. The Panama Canal was long built, but 25 tons of gold obtained from the sale was crucial to the welfare of the Danes in the 20th century.
Trump in his fresh press conference said that there is simply a real danger of China or Russia taking over the island, and specified a vicinity is dangerous not only for America, but it threatens global peace and he as president cannot let it.
There is talk of large resources of valuable minerals in Greenland, which can be a delightful treat for notorious "imperialists". Only that their extraction will be highly hard and highly costly (it is surely cheaper to buy on the stock marketplace in the Netherlands) - alternatively stories about wealth are intended for the "internal market" to convince the U.S. payer about the intent of spending.
The countries of the European Union under the aegis of Germany are advocates of the "territorial integrity" of Denmark and seem determined to defend it armedly against the threat... of the American.
It is understandable that the combined European forces are not able to prevent the Chinese-Russian expedition from being located on the island. Only the Russian Federation has a full fleet of atomic icebreakers capable of breaking into the inaccessible parts of the island.
Another phrase is to say that "the future of Greenland will be decided by the Greenlandites themselves", or Eskimos, due to respective 1000 Danes on the island temporarily (small 1 of them wants to stay after retiring) it is hard to say that they are Greenlandese.
The main sources of income for the native population, in addition to hunting seals, whales, fishing and hunting, are primarily social benefits. Grants for Greenland cost the Kingdom of Denmark a lot, but it is simply a very rich country, and without Greenland they would only have the Faroe Islands as a reminder of the colonial empire. The current broad autonomy is not adequate for the Inuit-Eskimos and opt for full sovereignty. There is only a problem – 80% of the population would not agree to independency if it caused a deterioration in their quality of life, which is apparent without Danish subsidies.
It's not our problem, we like the Danes, we condemn American imperialism, but we would feel safer with American installations in Greenland...
The choice between Danish colonialism, American imperialism or Soviet-Chinese expansionism is not easy, but I personally like "imperialism".
