Suicide pact

 

Don´t live on Greenland

What the fuck´s happening on Greenland? In 2025, the centrist Democrats won a plurality of votes and the position of "prime minister" in the local elections. The Democrats are anti-independence and pro-status quo. That is, pro-Danish. The election results looked reasonable, given Trump´s designs on the island. An independent Greenland would be easier for the United States to swallow. Hence, the voters sensible came out against it.

But...in the recent elections to the parliament of Denmark (where Greenland has two seats), the Democrats failed to gain a single seat. Two pro-independence parties, IA and Naleraq, got over half of the Greenland votes and took one seat each. IA is a left-wing party, while Naleraq has been accused of being pro-American!

Does anyone seriously think that Trump won´t notice? Well, I suppose it´s possible that he won´t. I mean, the guy´s half-crazy and, shall we say, rather preoccupied elsewhere. But if the eye of Sauron will gaze upon the world´s largest island again, it might notice that 55% of Greenland´s electorate voted for parties who wish to separate from Denmark. In effect for a suicide pact.

Things might still get colorful.
