    Greenland would be wise to keep them and all Americans out. The US is directly emulating hitler, so any US residents there could be used like the germans in the sudentland in czeckoslavakia. A pretext. Or more recently like Putin with the russians living in Ukraine.

    It does not matter maybe, if the US wants to do it they will find an excuse. But nothing good will come from letting billionaires start colonies. If they moved people in en masse and outvoted the sparse natives, well, those natives might not appreciate the poisoned water and air and despoilation for no benefit to them, to enrich billionaires actively talking shit corrupting their politics.

      The ethnic Russians whose oppression Putin used in his justification for invading Ukraine were not Russian citizens, they were Ukrainian citizens whose families had lived in those areas for generations. They weren’t settlers sent to provoke a response, they were legitimate residents of those areas.
