    Yes I know it's not a nation, but is wholly Danish which makes it as Dane as Denmark itself. Alaska is not a sovereign nation either but nobody imagines it's a piece of rock; it's America, as American as DC.

    The US has bases there and is free to engage Denmark on development/ equal partner basis but this is not 100 years ago. There is no slavery and you can't just trade citizens for cash.

    If they are spooked by Kung Fu man then they should match their offer of investing into the rock. I read that it's so hostile(terrain and ice) that oil exploration can only take off a decade from now.

    If you ask me, I'd say it's more strategic than Alaska

    China's interest in Greenland is purely commercial. They are not buying the rock but rather investing in it, trying to see if they can dig something. Canada is already mining gold

    My guess is that the Jews of that time will split then, as now - ethnic centered vs $ centered - with the $ centered going with whatever is the apparent most profitable/safest choice.
    I’m also going on the assumption that when this time occurs, it’s because the rapture is past and that’s why the dems/moslems gain control of the nation!!!

    China has military interests in Greenland and elsewhere.

    So does the US. Nobody is stopping the US from adding extra bases there

    That says nothing, means nothing. Provide sources or your claims are just fiction to others.

    Non sequitur. Your earlier statement was incorrect (and you evidently knew it?).

    I don't know of any millitary interest but China and I thought you were smart enough to figure out what I mean. Whether they have interest or not and whatever sort of interest , buying humans in 2019 is shocking ignorance

    It isn't difficult to figure out what you mean. Many on here have been on to you from the get-go. You have little to say of substance and a lot that is ignorant, nonsense, malevolent, misleading, or evocative as a troll. (Oh, and there's bound to be a pun in there somewhere. :Wink)

    1. The statement ‘buying humans in 2019 is shocking ignorance’, is shockingly ignorant, but highly predictable.

    8F70459F-74FA-4A5E-A8DC-794216B8F1DE.jpeg Selling humans in 2019 is what democrats do, as it includes PP, and the fact they don’t care a whit about child trafficking through the southern border. If they did, they’d be doing something besides stopping Trump from doing anything. Here’s your actual little human bodies for sale, day in & day out. This photo makes me ill, but the reality needs to be seen. People getting paid on both ends of the deal to do this. EVIL.

    In the context of Greenland no one is talking about buying and/or selling people except you. If Denmark wanted to sell Greenland they could and whoever lived there would now be under the banner of another nation. They would not have been sold. I don't know why this is so difficult for you to grasp.

    The Danes sold us their West Indies holdings. Known today as the US Virgin Islands. Then the czar sold the US Alaska.

    Katherine Timpf said that she always thought that it was called Greenland because the people were green. :Biggrin:Roflmao:Biggrin:Roflmao:Alien:Alien:Alien

    that is the only way to move the population. Either ship them back to mainland or sell them off together with the rock.
    I find ignorance here by some reminding us that it happened in the past. Yes, we are not 100 years ago so just because it happened does not mean it will or can happen
