I am one of those rather rare Europeans who generally speaking admire the American people and even think the MAGA movement was needed. But boy, don't these people prove time and time again what an uneducated bunch they are... Earlier today I was reading about the institutional and legal structure of the relationship between Denmark as a sovereign, and Greenland, as an autonomous territory belonging to it. Nothing I didn't really know generally speaking, but some details are truly revealing and make this whole "conversation" even more stupid. For instance, the Danish central government subsidizes the Greenland government in cash, in exchange for NOT exploiting any mineral resources it may find. Recently, the Greenland government took charge of those resources, as part of the autonomy agreement, and as a result a clause kicks in that says that the subsidies they receive will diminish proportional to the resources they extract, until their complete elimination... *and from that moment onward, both governments must negotiate what's their respective share of those resources*. So, Denmark is not just giving up their rights to exploit Greenland's mineral resources just because the Greenlanders are now in charge. All I hear from MAGA world is talk about "buying" Greenland... but they seem deeply mistaken about who has the final right to "sell".
