    While I fully understand Danish pride passing off their problem child

    What problem is it to Denmark?

    Unless someone finds worthwhile mineral resources and finds a way to
    exploit them it's a massive drain on the economy.

    It's less than $1bn 0.2% of Denmarks GDP


    There is also grumbling

    No, there isn't.

    There's a reason the Norse packed up their boats and left. Denmark is

    Right, who told you that?

    Trump is for sale to the highest bidder, that's all. He has no
    principles ideals or morals.
    In this he is similar to the Democrats.
    The main difference is that in the scale of useful idiots, he has proved
    the most useful and the most idiotic.

    Oh well. He will die soon.

    Yup. Agree with that.

    Precisely. Greenland is a welfare state kept alive by people working for
    the government. I think the do export some halibut.

    There's a reason the Norse packed up their boats and left. Denmark is
    touchy since they've lost territory since Kalamr and there isn't much
    left.

    Right, who told you that?
    More Trumpian propaganda?

    iirc, the Danes once ruled a large part of your island. They may have
    improved the gene pool but they lost the territory. Kalmar under Margaret
    I included Denmark, Sweden, Norway, a bit of Finland, Iceland, Greenland,
    the Faroes, Shetland, and some of Orkney.

    I think Iceland was the last to go when it slipped away when the Danes
    were otherwise occupied in WWII. They did get Northern Schleswig back
    after the war. They probably would have liked more but considering the invasion by Germany was concluded during business hours they were
    concerned that Germany would rise again and be pissed off.

    That's not Trump propaganda. I've nothing against Denmark. If fact I like their approach to migrants. 'Sweden is that way; keep walking'. However
    over the centuries their holdings have been whittled down. The US has had
    the use of Greenland but otherwise nobody really wanted it until Trump
    started his bluster. With him separating the bullshit from the pepper
    isn't possible.

    Germany now licks Xi's ass.

    And it's only getting worse - fast.

    This 'fuel crisis' - for SURE they are going
    to clear the way to bring in zillions of
    Chinese EV/Spy/Sabotaged vehicles. Then they
    will have to upgrade the whole power grid ...
    betcha China will provide their "solutions".

    German 'industry' will soon be back to beer
    and wienerschnitzel, until Xi drops the
    hammer ...... so much for the "Powerhouse
    of Europe".

    Hmm ... seen a few here try to blame all the UKs
    problems on Blair. Sorry, but the Big Decline was
    well underway before then. "WE DEMAND OUR FREE
    STUFF !!!" drove govt and economy for many decades.
    "Being Strong and Self-Sufficient" got its balls
    cut off at some tranny clinic.

    News today - the govt has AGAIN agreed to give
    doctors and such big wage/perk hikes - more Free
    Money. Thing is, the UK doesn't *have* any more
    money, free or otherwise. They've let their
    industries and mindsets and possibilities ROT.

    SO sad.

    But hey ... the UK still has lots of top tech
    and electronics people. The Trump re-domestication
    program and AI initiatives have brought a lot of
    such industries to the USA and such talent will
    be in DEMAND. Good wages and much lower taxes.
    Design new chips, set-up AI systems, help with the
    SpaceX Mars program ... lots of stuff worth leaving
    the UK. But leave NOW, while you can still afford,
    and be ALLOWED, to move.
