The constitutional monarchy is from 1814, but our real political power is democratically elected every 4 years. There is a significant minority who wants a republic instead, but most of us like having an unpolitical symbolic head of state to do the speaches, diplomacy and ribbon cutting that we can (mostly) all get behind. It’s the same system as in Sweden and Denmark.

So the current status from before all this? Hope you are right, would be good for all of us.

Greenland can vote to leave whenever they want according to their own laws. Though polls show most there want to become completely independent at some point in the future, very few Greenlanders say they want to leave Denmark at this time.

I would have agreed with you if I thought such a war could have been fought conventionally, but a single nuclear missile slipping through the air defenses would be too high a cost to pay for anything outside NATO.

And how could we do that without Eastern Europe, London and Paris being turned into self illuminating parking lots?
