Now #TheAmericanFascist has appointed an 'envoy' to help convince Greenlanders to ditch Denmark and join the USA. Denmark is shocked and angered, as they should be. Greenlanders are wholly opposed.

There is poetic irony of a Louisiana politician being tapped to lead a "Greenland Purchase" by America. I very much doubt the result will be the same. But there are some interesting parallels.

Lousisiana Purchase (1808)
a) Made possible by squabbles and warring in Europe.
b) involved purchase of 2.14 million km2 of North America for $380 Million in 2024 dollars. Greenland is 2.17 million km2.

It's difficult to fathom just how undervalued the Louisana Purchase was...nevermind the whole โ€” selling Indigenous Lands without Treaty โ€” issue. But hey... that would be another parallel with today's Inuit and Greenland Peoples.

Back in the modern context, America's Fascists just want to do Fascist things like take over sovereign countries and oppress nations, not unlike Hitler, the Kaiser's Germany, the Napoleans, Imperial Britain, Conquistador-ist Spain, and Tsarist-Stalinist-Putinist Russia.

This all needs to be kept -- forefully if need be -- in the past. We cannot allow these regressive dictators to come back.

He must be stopped.

United States of America!
Americans!

Stop prancing around with Christmas presents as if nothing is happening and DEPOSE YOUR PRESIDENT ffs! This is ON YOU first and foremost!!

@chris

I wonder if anyone has done a calculation of current market value of Greenland just from a realestate and resource rights perspective .
Assuming it was even for sale I suspect that even the US could not afford it.๐Ÿค”
