Greenland's leader calls for island's independence from Denmark

January 11 2025 2 704 12

Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said the island should become independent and not belong to either Denmark or the United States. He made this statement at a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

We don't want to be Danish or American. We want to remain Greenlanders. The status quo is no longer suitable. We need to find a new way.

– Egede emphasized.

He recalled that, in accordance with the previously adopted law on self-government, approved by the parliaments of Denmark and Greenland, the island has the right to declare independence whenever it deems it necessary.

Egede also noted that he has not yet discussed this issue with US President-elect Donald Trump, who has previously stated his desire to include Greenland in the US to strengthen national security and protect the "free world" from threats from China and Russia. The Greenland Prime Minister expressed his readiness to begin a dialogue with the future head of the White House.

Meanwhile, Axios reports, citing informed sources, that Danish officials have sent confidential proposals to Donald Trump's team. They talk about strengthening security in Greenland or increasing the US military presence on the island. Thus, the Danish government is trying to convince Trump that Greenland's security issues can be resolved without declaring US claims to the island. The reports emphasize that Greenland is not for sale, but Denmark is ready to consider other requests from Washington regarding the island.

Why not give up the independence of Denmark itself?

The Danes quickly lost their nerve, let's see how "independent" Greenland itself is, or how dependent?

The first step is Independence, followed by an orange revolution and another Guaido, Tikhanovskaya comes... And of course they hold a referendum on joining the USA... Everything is visible. Everything is elementary, Watson...

Independence for sale. It has long been known that it is cheaper to buy the best people of the city and that's it, they will successfully sell everything else, including independence, territories and mom and dad. This was especially evident after the Second World War, when the green "non-exchangeable five-kopeck coin" was put into wide circulation, the best people sold part of Europe, Asia, and after the collapse of the Union, one after another, former fraternal and non-fraternal republics.

The Greenland Prime Minister expressed his readiness to begin a dialogue with the future head of the White House.

It's clear what he's talking about. Greenland will insist on statehood like Alaska. But Trump will likely propose a "freely associated territory" like Puerto Rico or a "mandated territory" like the Marshall Islands.

  The dialogue with the future head of the White House will be reduced to the annexation of Greenland to the USA "zafuk" (checkers). This is not Ukraine. It has no "brotherly people".

What a clever way to put it, the Greenlandic "separatist" prime minister, a real bug, says, "let's vote for independence from Denmark" - he lulls the Danes' vigilance, so that later he himself, without Danish intermediaries, can negotiate with Trump about the "price of an independent Greenland"!
And if they don’t come to an agreement, he will ask too much for selling his country to American serfdom (by analogy, as the “no alternative Euro-integrators”-agitators and sponsors of the Western Nazis-“Euromaidanists”, Yanuk and Azirov, did not come to an agreement with the European Union, persistently demanding for “surrendering the country to no alternative Euro-slavery”, the 160 billion euros of “compensation” that they had initially promised them), then the “Maidan” is guaranteed for him and the “Maidan prime minister” will hand everything over to the Americans on the cheap (as Turchin, Potrokh and Yatsenyukh handed over Ukraine, with all its “resource guts and living creatures”, for mere “pennies”, and even the entire Ukrainian gold reserve, along with priceless Scythian treasures, were immediately, immediately after the “victory over the Maidan”, urgently transported by American transport planes to the US coffers, thievishly hidden by profiteers, far from, supposedly, "their native", "independent country", "Maidan usurper" Turchin has disappeared without a trace - "hid" somewhere, "Maidan Prime Minister" Yatsenyukh-Senya Kulyavloba has long been an "American citizen", bought up apartment buildings in New York and is thriving as a permanent resident in sunny Miami, Bloody Pastry Chef-"Maidan-predator" Potrokh is still running between the States and Banderland, he is still not satisfied with what he has already managed to steal while at the "helm of power"...)!
The word "independence" is funny, if you think about it, it is hypocritical and decorative, especially for those who are ready to "be deceived", alas!

What the hell is Tikhanovskaya? Much better than Luka for another 2-3 terms, and then everything will quietly go to Kolenka.

The unification of the United States and Greenland is no different from Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Independence from Ukraine is independence from Denmark.
Referendum for unification with Russia - referendum for joining the USA.
Becoming part of Russia means becoming part of the USA.
Find the difference?
The difference is that no one will impose sanctions on the US and no one will call it an aggressor.

  The United States, no matter how you look at it, has the strongest army and economy; it doesn’t behoove them to catch up with Portugal.

    If you recognize someone as Jupiter, it's your problem.
    If someone is naturally gifted with superior physical abilities, should the rest of us be limited in our rights? Are Americans an exceptional nation?
    There is no point in justifying the aggressiveness of the aggressor. It is not far from concentration camps.
