The Danish foreign minister has summoned the top U.S. diplomat in Copenhagen to explain a media report alleging that American nationals linked to Donald Trump are attempting to infiltrate Greenland and run covert influencing operations there.

Greenland shouldn’t be a Danish colony either.
I mean, it’s not. Greenland has self-rule and parliamentary representation, and a generous bag of cash for running an arctic society delivered every year.
What they don’t get a lot of is respect, which is unfortunate.
Do they have their own currency?
No?
Then they’re about as sovereign as a US state.
Don’t be like that.
Don’t downplay colonialism?
Denmark has absolutely done many awful things in Greenland, and I am the first to argue for actual equality and reparations for transgressions.
But they are not, politically, a colony at all. And reducing the question to be about a currency unit (which is pegged to the euro btw), is simplistic and disrespectful to everyone involved.
It’s still stolen land dawg
And, no, the Euro is a tool of financial imperialism that allows the metropoles to dominate the rest of the Eurozone and prevent the spread of communism. That’s it, that’s what it’s for. There is no sovereignty without currency sovereignity.
Again, about as sovereign as a US state.
Mildest ml take.
so spain isnt sovereign because they use a “euro” coin instead of “spanish” coin? get out
Ask Greece how great it is not having currency sovereignity.
You could say the same about Australia and Jamaica being part of the British Commonwealth. Historical politics is complex.
At least Australia has currency sovereignity.
The historical crime of colonialism isn’t that complex, we just don’t want to talk about it.
The crime is simple, undoing it is very complex.
