Last weekend the people of Greenland took to the polls to vote for their new leader. The results ended up flipping the status quo with the electorate selecting Egede’s Inuit Ataqatigiit and changing the political landscape in Greenland. In this video we discuss the results, if this could lead to independence from Denmark & the plans to block the controversial Kuannersuit mining project.

    my chinese colleague said they are part of China. They look like Chinese and long time ago they went from China over there, so should go back to China.

    It is interesting to see how this decision has completely backfired due to Greenland being sued by Energy Transition Minerals for over 10 billions dollars

    Imagine canadian pm trudeau saying that greenland should be independent and Denmark is being " condescendingly racist" on inuits.

    People are such hypocrites. Pro centrist EU will be never stop thinking twice about supporting wokeism and online hate speech after Donald Trump.

    id really hate for greenland to be independent from denmark as denmark helps them considerably, they were never independent(i asume feel free to correct me) and wanting to leave just by nationalistic desire isnt the smart decision to make. in my opinion

    The usa consulate. Look at what the usa are doing to the red Indian and the women of the North American inut.. They are mass killing the women and female children to stop them breeding. And turning all the red Indian Inuit males to drink and drugs… This is what the usa will do in Greenland.. Yous all need to stick together like the seeds in a pomiegranit.. Get your independence and join brics…. You can all benifit…..

  14. @angelwhite376

    March 5, 2024 at 9:36 am

    join brics and all of the people will benifit health will benifit you need to get rid of the usa nato base in the North… Make it a reserve… Kick the usa out…

  15. @angelwhite376

    March 5, 2024 at 9:36 am

    Greenland must leave Denmark. Denmark are selling your assets your rare earth metals worth trillions to the usa… They are stopping China building you a new airport stopping your Greenland from becoming a better place… Greenland needs to join brics. The only way to benifit all your people is to join brics and flowrish.. Food imports will flood in to your lands and you can control the rare earth metals…. They will alow the usa to rape Greenland…. Greenland needs to join brics….. Then become rich and better.. Greenland is getting flooded with usa western… So they can control the votes… Greenland needs to join brics….. And get rid of the usa base on the north.. They are stealing from Greenland…

    but isnt greenland being part of denmark what makes greenland a lovely country? its part of north america but yet its so european, if you take the european part(denmark) away from it its like germany without autobahn and bavarians, afterall thats all people only know about greenland as such cause its so ''danish'' but in north america, (even too it looks more swedish than danish to me) im not saying they cant have indenpenence but for me thats what makes greenland, greenland. if people think of denmark when they hear greenland thats not a bad thing, still better than what alot of americans think they hear germany with some austrian guy

    In layman‘s terms this is the people who run the world conquering more of the world. Forcing the aboriginals of this land to be isolated. Told not to live farm or eat off of the lad that they’ve called home for 100s of years. The result? Poverty and depression….They don’t have to kill them anymore-they’re killing their selves. All of this done? Disguised by all the mess u just described

    If they did start a mine then the eu and america can rely on them for car batteries produced by countries that respect human right and don’t violate them while being far better for the environment as currently the mining techniques to get them in other countries is terrible

    The dark red-orange coalition (yes i am calling it that because idk what they are named) are very similar to the Greens and the SNP over here in scotland.

  28. @TheCaptainLulz

    March 5, 2024 at 9:36 am

    Theyre dreaming. Like all independence movements theyre a dog chasing a car, and they wouldnt have a clue what to do if they actually caught it. Leaving Denmark means they'd lose the protection of the EU's armies, meaning they wouldnt have a prayer in the event someone decided they'd just take it for the resources. There arent enough people there to even put up a fight. And with the wealth in minerals there, that would be a certainty.

  29. @yudistiraliem135

    March 5, 2024 at 9:36 am

    If greenland declare independence, they then join US for a large sum of money, making each and every person a millionaire.

  30. @codymurphy3493

    Well won’t Denmark look silly if they become independent and leave with all the stuff DK paid for and they didn’t sell it to Greenland to Trump. Denmark should threaten to sell them anytime they they bring up independence.

  44. @dudeswithacamera1187

    March 5, 2024 at 9:36 am

    The US should have just annexed Greenland if the Danes wouldn't sell. I mean seriously who would stop us? Also the population is so small and it's directly impacting American national security and influence in the world. This would also help us secure artic sea lanes
