Juullimi pilluarit!

Today I like to wish for my friends in Greenland a Happy Christmas period. I was recently shocked to hear that certain highly important personages in the United States don't even know that you have a fully independent station, have your own seperate language and culture, and do celebrate Christmas there. Too bad!

Weren’t they owned by Denmark until recently ?

@AthrillatheHunt The country's status was changed to an Overseas Country and Territory (OCT) associated with the EU, a dependent territory that has a special relationship with a member state of the EU. Greenland is and will remain a full member of the Council of Europe and NATO.

@val70 so it’s like American Samoa ?
val70 · 51-55
@AthrillatheHunt No, American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the United States. This means that its residents are U.S. nationals. Greenland is an independent and autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark.

@AthrillatheHunt No, there are their own people and nation under the Crown of Denmark

@val70 like a colony ?
val70 · 51-55
@AthrillatheHunt No, they're more like independent dominions. Like Canada, Australia, etc. were once

@val70 we should buy it then.
val70 · 51-55
@AthrillatheHunt No-one can buy it. It's a non-sale
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@val70 not for sale ? there’s other ways of acquiring land. Just ask Putin.
val70 · 51-55
@AthrillatheHunt Ah yes, and threatening other countries with nuclear weapons too 🙄
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

@AthrillatheHunt I wonder why not, well, then there's actually no hope left for you
