Related to this, @anderspuck has an excellent episode on the Danish and Greenlandic perspective of Trump’s imperialist ambitions. Great points about Greenlander’s ambitions to be an independent country.
I also didn’t realize Greenland is more of a country in a Federation, like Scotland in the UK, than a territory in a country, like Nunavut in Canada.
I wonder if Greenland would apply for EU membership once they achieved full sovereignty?
I wonder if it would be the beginning of a push to join with Nunavut and Nunavik (northern Québec) and create a true Arctic country for all Inuit?
Wouldn’t it be something if all this nonsensical bluster from Trump ended up *strengthening* the sovereignty of the nations in the crosshairs?
In the end, I still think Putin put him up to all this, and if it did cause Canada, Denmark, Greenland and Panama to become *more* forcefully sovereign and the USA eventually turfed Trump for being a global a-hole, then it would have backfired just like when Finland and Sweden joined NATO after Putin invaded Ukraine.

Les festivités de fin d’année au Nunavik, dans le Nord-du-Québec, sont assombries par une vague de chaleur record, au grand désarroi des Inuit. La glace tarde à se former sur les cours d'eau, ce qui limite l’accès au territoire. Il s’agit là d’un autre exemple de l’accélération des changements climatiques dans le nord du pays

For the last #PhallusThursday in #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth I'm sharing this rare #Inuit sculpture with you that was crafted from steatite by Anonymous. It originates from Puvirnituq in the #Nunavik.
Today it resides at the Naomi Wilzig Erotic Art Museum in Miami Beach, Florida. The museum captioned the sculpure ‘Alaska, circa 1950’.
@AnnaAnthro It’s heartbreaking to learn about the mass killing of Inuit sled dogs in Nunavik during the 1950s-60s. A deliberate act that devastated their way of life. The resilience of the Inuit in the face of such injustice is incredible. An apology is long overdue, but true reconciliation requires much more. #IndigenousRights #Nunavik #Reconciliation #Arctic
