No.

if Denmak wants to divest of Greenland, their first obligation is to offer us, the UK, the first option - a treaty in 1917 signed that Woodrow Wilson didn't want to sign....Canad was, of course, a colony back then. Canada also shares a frontier with Greenland on not only over the sea but also on land too, one island shared.....

fun fact: In an early marketing porky Greenland was named by Erik the red in the hope of attracting new settlers.

It's a massive landmass and there must be valuable mineral resources waiting to be discovered.  

It could be the sale of the century for a lucky buyer.

3 1/2  a half million Asians in Canada, 1 1/2 million are Chinese and still they come. Why would Greenland want to join them?

Acquiring those resources would add to our carbon footprint therefore we wouldn't be interested.

We would let another country mine the minerals and then buy them. We are after all a green SuperPower!

I sometimes wonder how the UK let the Saudi Arabian oil contracts go to Americans.

"3 1/2  a half million Asians in Canada, 1 1/2 million are Chinese and still they come. Why would Greenland want to join them? "

what has that got to do with anything?

how come it'd be "an alliance" if it were canada and "a takeover" if it were the US

because canada's government haven't threatened to take it over

but sandy is talking about if greenland wanted to cut links with denmark

yes. and?

sandy is talking about a hypothetical situation where greenland want to cut their ties with denmark.  In that situation, they would have a choice

and in that situation the USA would still be committed to taking over Greenland. there's no "alliance" with the US possible. 

Trump threatened Greenland with military action. He's aping Putin. Disgraceful.

Did he?  What did he say?

Apparently he refused to rule out military action, but didn't actually say that he would use military action.

So that's alright then?

So he didn't then.

fun fact:  porky Greenland was named by Erik the red in the hope of attracting new settlers

who came in not very large numbers and were all gone by 1500

oops more than one
