Who gets to decide if it's a modification vs a fundamental change?


If they haven't already, the State Department will claim that it is just a modification of the existing agreement. Courts are very deferential to Executive Power...that would probably be enough to stave off any lawsuit...but with D.C. judges you never know.

You are going to have to pump those numbers up to get gold American ally status...regardless of the "per capita" part.

According to the OP, its not and has to be ratified by both Danish and US legislatures


I don't want to overstate the case. It's DEFINITELY not done as far as the Danes are concerned. It still has to be ratified by the Danish "Folketing." The prime minister's party is ruling through a coalition. No party, including hers, is a majority.

As for the US, President Trump can avoid needing ratification by 2/3rds of the Senate by claiming that this is just a modification of the 1951 agreement.

If Trump said it then it’s true. He is the most powerful man in the world. None of that other bs matters. We own Greenland now the op needs to grow up and except reality and sit back and enjoy the greatest world leader work his magic. It’s been an amazing term so far to watch.

That's the kind of shite that makes the Danes hate us. American KIA in Afghanistan = 7.7 per million. Danish KIA in Afghanistan = 7.1 per million.

Yes, WE don't care that 43 Danes died to make sure that the Taliban remained in control of Afghanistan. The Danes cared about it. Their Parliament gets to vote on something that would make Trump look good.

You think TDS is bad here.....

If the chart accurately reflects the deal, then from a USA perspective, it would be a modification. Every part of it benefits us. Props to Trump on this.

IDK much about Danish parliamentary vibes, but it sounds like it's press to MECO from the respective leaders.

quote:

“Next week could be a good week … for Greenland, Denmark, and the United States alike,” Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen wrote on Instagram Saturday morning.

quote:

Greenland’s government leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen said he was happy about the deal which he said “benefits not only our collective security, but also the continued development here in the country.”

quote:

The foreign minister of Greenland, Múte B. Egede, said he was pleased that “we now have an agreement within reach.”

The next time I see a Dane I might apologize...who am I kidding...I'm never going to see a Dane.

Wasn't their participation part of a NATO group? Kind of what they signed up for isn't it?

Your "opinion" is shallow. You are letting your hatred slip out in your new attempt to make everyone believe that you are not afflicted with 4th stage TDS.

Of course it's not. It's just another Trump lie.

Thanks for looking that up. With one eye on GameDay, I have been scrolling through Danish comments.

One of them said, "I don't know why all this was necessary. Trump could have gotten all this from the beginning if he had just asked nicely."

I think it's fair to say the deal WILL get done.

It's not an opinion. It's a fact. The deal isn't done until the Danish Parliament ratifies whatever it is.

FWIW, the Danish comments seem positive about it.
Looks like the deal will go though.

Denmark, as a nation-state, for years conducted forced sterilization on a colonial indigenous female population subject to Danish Rule.

This is GENOCIDE under International Law.

Denmark has lost its rights under Natural Law to continue in possession of Greenland.

Does that mean through natural law the US has the right to possess Greenland?

Everyone knows where Hank stands in the political spectrum. He is always hopeful to see Trump fail.
