Greenland is Still Part of Denmark
Remember that Greenland is still an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark (Kongeriget Danmark). Even so, Greenland has been self-governing since 1979, they have their own government and parliament, and in 2009 further autonomy was granted to Greenland.

Originally a colony of Norway, Greenland has been part of Denmark since Denmark was still in a personal union with Norway, known as Denmark-Norway. When the union dissolved in 1814, Greenland, along with Faroe Islands, was transferred to Denmark. Greenland has been an integral part of Denmark officially since 1953.
Since Denmark is part of European Union (EU), Greenland is also part of EU but not directly because they withdrew in 1985, it is associated with EU through OCT (overseas country and territory) status. Greenlanders are Danish citizens and also EU citizens.
Even though it is on the North American continent, Greenland has been part of Europe politically and culturally for more than a millennium since the Norse people from Iceland settled it in 986. Once abandoned for unknown reasons in 14th-15th century, it was rediscovered in 1721.
The potential for independence for Greenland has always existed and I am supporting this. However there needs to be an amendment to the Constitution of Denmark because Greenland is a subject of it. Hopefully this will happen in the best way possible, opening a new chapter in history, particularly for Greenland and Denmark.

How Trump’s Greenland Plan Could Hit Ozempic, Legos and Hearing Aids
President-elect Donald J. Trump has threatened tariffs on many countries for many different reasons. On Monday, he found a new purpose for his favorite economic tool. Mr. Trump said he would “tariff Denmark at a very high level” if it refused to allow Greenland — a North American island that is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark — to become part of the United States. “They…

Greenland “not for sale,” says prime minister
Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede responded to comments by US President-elect Donald Trump regarding “ownership and control” over the island, stating that it was “not for sale.”
Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom.
Trump announced on Sunday that he had chosen Ken Howery, a former envoy to Sweden, as his ambassador to Copenhagen and commented on the status of Greenland, a semi-autonomous part of Denmark hosting a major US Air Force base.
The Republican leader, who takes office as US president on 20 January, wrote on his social media platform Truth Social:
For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.
The Danish government should make it clear that control of Greenland was not subject to discussion or negotiation, MP Rasmus Jarlov of the opposition Conservative Party stated.
To the extent that US activities aim to take control of Danish territory, it must be prohibited and countered. Then they can’t be there at all.
Denmark-Greenland ties
Greenland, rich in mineral, oil and gas resources, is developing slowly, making its economy dependent on fishing and annual subsidies from Denmark. With its Pituffik Space Base, the island is of strategic importance to the US military. Their ballistic missile early warning systems are also important, as the shortest route from Europe to North America passes through the island.
During his previous presidential term, Trump expressed interest in buying Greenland in 2019, but the offer was quickly rejected by Denmark as well as the island’s authorities even before official discussions. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called Trump’s proposal “absurd” at the time.
Greenland has the right to declare independence from Denmark. However, the island of about 56,000 people, which receives significant budget transfers from Copenhagen each year, has so far refrained from doing so.
Separately on Sunday, Trump threatened to restore US control of the Panama Canal, accusing Panama of overcharging for use of the Central American passage.

Data shows global conflict surged in 2024 (Washington Post) The world saw a staggering surge in conflicts over the past year. At least 233,000 people are estimated to have been killed in conflicts in 2024, according to new data released Thursday by a prominent nonprofit analysis and crisis mapping project. The data, released by Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED), shows in raw numbers how the level of conflict around the world has doubled over the past five years, amid wars in Ukraine, Gaza, Myanmar and elsewhere. Among the data for this year, ACLED found that the number of people killed in conflicts in 2024 had grown by 30 percent since the preceding year, from 179,099 deaths in 2023 to 233,597 in 2024. The war in Ukraine was the deadliest in 2024, with 67,000 reported deaths, while 35,000 deaths were reported in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank. By the end of the year, the number of acts of violence recorded by ACLED is projected to reach almost 200,000, about 25 percent higher than last year and double what it was five years ago, with sharp increases found in Lebanon (958 percent), as Israel staged a large-scale military intervention, and Russia (349 percent), which has seen more attacks amid its ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The violence has remarkable reach. One in 8 people worldwide were exposed to conflict in 2024, ACLED found.
Why does Trump want to buy Greenland? (Washington Post) Donald Trump renewed calls for the United States to gain control of Greenland on Sunday, in a statement announcing his pick for the role of ambassador to Denmark. “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” the president-elect wrote on Truth Social, his social media platform. The Arctic island, which is roughly three times the size of Texas, has a population of about 57,000 people. It is on the North American continent, to Canada’s northeast, but is in practice part of Europe and is an autonomous territory of Denmark, which ruled over the island for more than 200 years and still maintains some control over its foreign policy. Greenland’s prime minister, Múte Egede, echoed previous statements from Greenland’s leaders on the occasion of similar overtures from Trump during his first term. “We are not for sale and will never be for sale,” Egede said. In a purely hypothetical exercise, The Post estimated in 2019 that the purchase of Greenland could cost up to $1.7 trillion, given the island’s industries and natural resources. Of course, it does not have a real cost if it is not for sale in the first place.
The Christian Surfers of Costa Rica (NYT) A group of missionaries who surf have expanded to a remote part of Costa Rica, where people come from afar looking for the “perfect wave.” And maybe a little Jesus? Chandler Brownlee stood atop a cluster of rocks protruding from a secluded stretch of Costa Rican beach, Bible in hand, gazing at one of the world’s most coveted surfing waves. He was on the hunt—not for the perfect wave (that’s always a given), but for surfers who were ready to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. Born and raised in Florida, Mr. Brownlee, 52, is a real estate agent, an avid wildlife conservationist and the father of three daughters. But he is also a former Baptist minister and a hardcore tatted-up surfer. Those identities combine to make him a senior member of the Christian Surfers organization, an international group of missionaries who love to surf [and win souls].
Target Panama? (Bloomberg) Donald Trump’s latest target: The Panama Canal. He threatened to take control of the waterway if fees on US ships aren’t lowered, prompting a swift rebuff from Panama’s president, who said the shipping tolls aren’t inflated and that its sovereignty is unnegotiable. Trump responded: “We’ll see about that!”
Zelensky’s slow shift toward negotiating for Ukraine’s future (Washington Post) As Ukrainian forces struggle to hold off Russia’s army on the battlefield and President-elect Donald Trump looks to broker a peace deal, President Volodymyr Zelensky has in recent weeks signaled a greater willingness for negotiations to end the war—a major shift for the Ukrainian leader, who had long vowed to fight for every last inch of his country’s land. Zelensky’s messaging has been careful; he has not explicitly said Kyiv would agree to concessions—territorial or otherwise—even while Russia occupies more than 20 percent of Ukraine and would probably retain control of that land after any ceasefire. But after previously stating that negotiations could begin only once Moscow withdrew all its troops, Zelensky is now emphasizing the need for long-term security rather than the immediate return of territory. Zelensky’s change in rhetoric—something Ukrainian and Western officials have noticed—can probably be attributed to a worsening situation on the front line and an incoming U.S. administration that has put future security assistance for Kyiv in doubt.
Memes, Jokes and Cats: South Koreans Use Parody for Political Protest (NYT) As South Koreans took to the streets this month demanding the ousting of their president, some found an unexpected outlet to express their fury: jokes and satire. They hoisted banners and flags with whimsical messages about cats, sea otters and food. They waved signs joking that President Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of martial law had forced them to leave the comfort of their beds. Pictures of the flags spread widely on social media. The idea was to use humor to build solidarity against Mr. Yoon, who has vowed to fight his impeachment over his ill-fated martial law decree on Dec. 3. Some waved flags for nonexistent groups like the so-called Dumpling Association, a parody of real groups like labor unions, churches or student clubs. Kwon Oh-hyouck, a veteran protester, said that he had first seen such flags emerge during demonstrations in 2016 and 2017 that ultimately resulted in the removal of President Park Geun-hye. Mr. Kwon said that satire was part of the Korean spirit of protest. Some held signs ridiculing Mr. Yoon, saying that he had separated them from their pets at home and disrupted their routine of watching Korean dramas. One group called itself a union of people running behind schedule, referring to the idea that the need to protest over martial law had forced them to reschedule their appointments.
To evade Assad’s secret police, Syrians developed a code language (Washington Post) For decades, Syrians passed down a warning from one generation to the next: “The walls have ears.” In cafes, taxis and markets—even in their own living rooms—most could not speak freely, fearing they might be overheard by Bashar al-Assad’s mukhabarat, or secret police. To maintain its grip, the Assad regime planted fear, its roots spreading into every aspect of civilian life. Street cleaners, garbage collectors, balloon sellers, colleagues—anyone could be an informant. In this environment of surveillance, Syrians improvised. They developed a code allowing them to discuss everything from everyday commerce to fears for their families, even veiled criticisms of the regime. They were used among trusted family and friends. “You can’t talk at all about the regime. If we want to nag about something, we used to mime it with our finger and point toward the ceiling meaning the government,” said Maysoun. If Syrians were suspicious of someone nearby, they would say, “This person has nice handwriting,” which means, “This person is an informant.”
Bethlehem plans another somber Christmas under the shadow of war in Gaza (AP) The Nativity Store in Manger Square has sold handmade olive wood carvings and religious items to people visiting the traditional birthplace of Jesus since 1927. But as Bethlehem prepares to mark its second Christmas under the shadow of the war in Gaza, there are almost no tourists, leaving the Nativity Store and other businesses unsure of how much longer they can hold on. For the second straight year, Bethlehem’s Christmas celebrations will be somber and muted, in deference to ongoing war in Gaza. There will be no giant Christmas tree in Manger Square, no raucous scout marching bands, no public lights twinkling and very few public decorations or displays. “Last year before Christmas, we had more hope, but now again we are close to Christmas and we don’t have anything,” said Rony Tabash, the third-generation owner of Nativity Store. Since the war began, tourism to Israel and the Israeli-occupied West Bank has plummeted. And after Israel barred entry to most of the 150,000 Palestinians in the West Bank who had jobs in Israel, the Palestinian economy contracted by 25% in the past year.
Ballerinas turn one of Kenya’s largest slums into a stage for a Christmas show (AP) With perfect pirouettes and plies, dozens of young ballet dancers gracefully moved between the makeshift iron houses of one of Africa’s largest urban slums, spreading Christmas spirit. Hundreds of residents in Kenya’s Nairobi cheered as the nimble ballerinas, wearing Santa hats and sparkling colorful outfits, turned the dusty narrow roads of the neighborhood of Kibera into a dance-worthy stage on Saturday. The annual show was a hit. Organized by the Kibera Ballet School, one of the east African country’s smaller institutions that provides free lessons to children who otherwise wouldn’t have had access to this kind of training, the production was the result of rigorous practice. For months, the children rehearsed in modest community halls while juggling their household chores, which included fetching water in plastic jerricans in the neighborhood with no clean running water. Like the rest of Africa, Kenya boasts of a youthful population—with a median age of 19—and the ballet school, funded by a local non-government organization, aims to give some of them a creative outlet.

Which countries cannot be invaded?
A few countries are virtually impossible to invade. These countries have the world's best defenses. Switzerland is the first country on this list. The landlocked country is a great world power.
The United Kingdom, or UK, is a world-leading country with significant economic, cultural, and military might. It is also a nuclear power with a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
Britain is an island country in northwest Europe, bounded to the west by the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel, to the east by the Celtic Sea and the Irish Sea, and to the south by France and Northern Ireland. It consists of England, Scotland, and Wales.
The legal systems of England and Scotland are based on common law concepts, while Northern Ireland's judicial system is mostly based on civil law. Scots Law is a different legal system in Scotland that is essentially a combination of English Common Law and civil law.
Bhutan is a small, landlocked country in the Himalayas' east. It is bounded to the north by China, to the east by the Chumbi Valley of Tibet, and to the south by the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.
A king rules the country. It is a Buddhist state dominated by Ngalops, with Sharchops and Lhotsampas being the main ethnic groupings.
Ngawang Namgyal, Bhutan's first monarch, founded a government based on combining monastic and civil authority. Religious institutions were managed by a Je Khempo (head abbot), while civil concerns were handled by the Druk Desi (regent of Bhutan).
Bhutan began to emerge from its seclusion during the rule of his son, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, with a National Assembly and a code of laws. Since 1971, the country has also been a member of the United Nations.
Canada is North America's second-largest country by land area, with 10 provinces and three territories ranging from the Atlantic to the Arctic. Invading this country is quite difficult.
The Canadian people have a distinct history and worldview. They have a close bond with Europe and a deep aversion to the United States.
This is evident in their political thought as well as their culture. They prefer organized government to individualism and are less likely to conduct war overseas than Americans.
Australia, the world's smallest continent and largest island, has a diverse population, including Indigenous Aborigine communities that had lived in the area for thousands of years before Europeans arrived.
It is located in the southern hemisphere, between the Pacific and Indian seas, with its capital, Canberra, in the southeast, between the larger and more prominent cities of Sydney and Melbourne. It is ruled by a federal government with limited authority over the states of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia.
The Australian government is increasing its military presence, particularly in Northern Australia, in order to establish a naval base and improve cooperation with friends and partners. It has agreed to construct nuclear-capable assault submarines and autonomous underwater vehicles with the United Kingdom and the United States.
With a population of 1.44 billion people, China is the world's most populated country. It has the world's second-largest economy and the third-largest territory, covering 14 countries.
It possesses significant military capabilities. It spends the most on defense of any country and has a wide range of military capabilities, including aircraft, missile technology, and cyberattacks.
However, in the event of a military war, the PLA would need considerably more troops to protect Taiwan than it could send to invade. Furthermore, there is a significant space between the two sides.

I want to expand briefly on something in the tags in that last ask, because I think this point informs how I think about the whole question in a way that be different from anon.
The whole idea of an empty, natural, trackless wilderness suitable for building an autarkic community is a fiction. By the time humans finished spreading out into the Americas, most of the surface of the Earth was inhabited to some extent by human beings who developed a suite of technologies appropriate to the climate, and further innovation took place within that framework. In short, the whole world was peopled in 1492, except for some remote islands and Antarctica. The density of that population varied a lot, and the kinds of social organization, and the cultural institutions around law and territory and property, but there was really very little wilderness that was also suitable to human habitation. And much land not at all suitable to human habitation that humans stubbornly decided to live in anyway.
Part of the self-mythologizing of North American (and later Australian) settlers, because of the lower population density of many of the areas they settled (though at least in the Eastern Woodlands in the US, this may have been a very recent change caused by smallpox), and because conflict with expanding settler states drove the natives out so that their own farmers could move in. Since “we tamed a virgin wilderness” is more appealing as a national mythology than “we drove out and exterminated the savages” (although there was plenty of romanticizing of that part, too, back in the 19th century!), that view of American history is the culturally preferred version. It’s the sort of thing I would point out as settler-colonial ideology, if the phrase settler-colonial hadn’t been driven into the ground by overuse. The natives are treated as a footnote, which is easy because they’ve been demographically swamped by higher settler population densities and by centuries of immigration. I’m sure apartheid South Africa would have tried to take the same tack with regard to its own history, if the native population hadn’t stubbornly insisted on being much more numerous and sticking around.
This national mythology was developing while at the same time new theories of government were being articulated; the American revolution (anger at the British crown was motivated in part by settlers being forbidden from crossing the Appalachians, remember!) not only occasioned but may have been necessary to the great push west, and so a lot of thinking and writing on liberty, on the origins and purpose of government, and the ideal nature of government was being done in a period of time when, it just so happened, a lot of people found themselves in a position to set up big family farms in frontier “wilderness,” and had occasion to justify and celebrate as ideal a form of economic organization that is actually historically very anomalous. Patterns of land use and property distribution in the colonial Americas looked nothing like patterns of land use and property distribution in Europe, and though they used approximately the same principles of land tenure, the actual situation on the ground was a lot different. Small family land holdings for a European peasant would have been distributed among other small family land holdings of neighbors within the same community. Tenant farming by small farmers working the land of a local bigshot were still common. This system worked given the conditions on the frontier at the time, but it was never going to be stable long-term. It’s not very efficient, and it’s not always environmentally sustainable either.
But the fallout of all this is that a really unusual episode of history has provided an abstract template for thinking about economics and politics for generations! When we imagine building a utopian community ex nihilo, we imagine doing it in some nonexistent but fecund wilderness that really hasn’t existed anywhere on Earth since humans made it to Tierra del Fuego. I think this hampers our understanding a lot of the time. It blinds us to how dependent current institutions are on the shape of past institutions (we can build institutions from nothing!), it emphasizes an unrealistically individualist and autonomous approach to society (we can live far enough away from our neighbors we never have to interact!), and it handwaves away a central problem of land and wealth distribution, which is how often acquiring those things necessarily comes at someone else’s expense. It seems to me that a lot of people of anarcho-capitalist inclinations live in a world where that frontier-possibility exists as a self-evident, perennial feature of the world. Whereas to me, it feels like a mirage: something that has never existed in recorded history, and which has no actual relevance (at least until we colonize other planets, I guess).
