The fact that we get free videos on KZbin by Geoff is truly a gift; keeping education and knowledge alive. 👏🙏🤷 May I also remind you of the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shockingly sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deal, such as centuries-long global Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤷

For centuries, in vast bountiful resourceful North & South America, the motherland of Native American people, where the vast majority of the population, hundreds of millions of Europeans were from all over and every corner of Northern & Southern Europe brought in over to occupy the Native American lands. Similarly, in the Asia-Pacific region, the vast majority of the population in vast bountiful resourceful Australia & New Zealand, tens of millions of Europeans were from all over Europe brought in over to the Asia-Pacific, the motherland of Native Asian-Pacific people. What happened to Native American people in their own motherland, wiping them out almost entirely after tens of thousands of years of profound culture.. It's really sad and disgusting how so many Native people of the Americas were wiped out by genocide and Colonization. Native American people have already lost their land, their population and most of all their future..The tragedy of Native Americans is the saddest thing ever happened in the history of mankind, and the most neglected one as well. 'Slavery, Genocide, Colonialism & Colonization' are all evil things done and benefited by evildoers. Speaking of Native American people who have not occupied an inch of European land, or slaughtered a single European in Europe; while European Colonizers have occupied both North & South America lands and terminated 99.9% of Natives population.. A shockingly sad truth.

Hi Geoff, found this in my readings: Were Denmark to sell Greenland it would have to give Britain first refusal under the terms of an agreement made more than a century ago, the last Danish minister for the Arctic island has said. Donald Trump’s stated ambition to acquire Greenland has sparked an increasingly bitter war of words. Tom Høyem, 83, Copenhagen’s representative on the island from 1982 to 1987 and an expert on its tangled history, said on Saturday that an undertaking from 1917, when America first made a tentative attempt to acquire the island, was still valid. Woodrow Wilson, the US president, subsequently agreed that Greenland was Danish and always would be, Høyem said.

Greenland have banned extraction of oil,gas, uranium , but not for the rest , unless it's where the people live, but you are right it's so expensive and due to the tick ice it have been difficult to even locate the minerals,and when you start such a venture where you first have to build infrastructure you have to be sure you can sell on the market, if you can't compete on prize you can't sell, plus the market for rare earth have not been an open market but a very small market with few buyers dominated by China, now because China restrict sale and USA/EU want to be less dependent on China they get more interested in Greenland, there is a couple of mines in Greenland now it's easier now on one side where the ice have melted , 12 countries have bought license to mine for the moment ,

Well, at least one person got this right, not you Geoff. Greenland was setttled by Europeans when Norwegians, some of them living in Iceland settles there in 986. It was independent as Iceland also was in those years, but Iceland, mainly settled by Norwegians, came under the Norwgian throne in the 1200's, and was administered together with Faroes, Shetland, Orkneys and the Hebrides , Isla of Man, Ireland, Northumberland and Caithness from Bergen in Norway. Irealand, Isle of Man, Caithness, Northumberland and the Hebrides was given to the Scots king (Not Ireland). In the 1380s the crown Prince of Norway was elected king of Denmark, he died, sp his mothewr, the Queen of Norway became the ruler, and also the ruler of Denmark and Sweden. However in the 1460s the king of Norway-Denmark- Sweden wanted his daughter to marry the Scots king, and the king of Scotland should have two barrels of siver as dowry, but the did not have this, so he put up shetland and Orkney as collateral, he never paid, so the Scots held on to it, but they still use norse law there. !460s was the lkast time the colonists in Greenland was hears from. the Danes had by this time never been in any of these places like Faroes, Iceland and Greenland. In the 1700s a Norwegian priest , born in Norway as the son of a Danish immigrant and married with a Norwegian lady went as a priest to Greenland. Some Danes claims that this Norwegian man was Danish, that is Danes for you. His father hd immigrated to Norway, so he was of half Danish ancestry. In the the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars, Sweden wanted Norway as Sweden had broke off its union with Norway and Denmark in 1523. But we declared a constitution an elected a king, a Danish prince, he gave up in a few months, and we accepted that the king of Sweden should be our new king, but we keopt our constitution and government. But in the talks about the Western Isles as these places were called in Norway, the Danes told the Swedes that these islands were Danish, not Norwegian, even if the were governed from Bergen in Norway and had been so goverened for 600 years from there! The Danes were liars and swindlewrs, and the Swedes were stupid, as usual. that is Norways neighbors , swindlesrs and thiefs to the south, and softbrained idiots to the east. So in 1814 the Danes had swindled itself to owning these lands. I strongly suggest to use non-Danish material for researching this, I bought a Danish history book, and we use that as a humoristic example of the complexed people living on some sandbanks.

[@flxdz7103]

Greenland originally belonged to Norway. Why? Because the Vikings that discovered and colonized it along with Iceland, the Faroese Islands, and Vinland (now Labrador) were from Norway. When Norway entered the Kalmar Union along with Sweden and Denmark uniting the three Scandinavian countries under a single crown with the Danish Monarchy as the ruler, all three were included in that union. Sweden broke away from the union in the 1500s and retained Finland. After the Napoleonic Wars Sweden acquired Norway but ceded Finland to Russia but Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroese Islands were placed under Danish rule. Norway regained its independence in the early 1900s and pursued its claim on Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroese Islands by petitioning it to the League of Nations, the predecessor of the UN. But the LN favored Denmark so, Denmark retained the three possessions. Iceland and the Faroese Islands gained their independence on 1944 and 1946 respectively. Now, if Denmark does not want Greenland to be taken by another power, it needs to form an alliance with Sweden and Norway by jointly deploying military troops there even when Greenland becomes independent as a message to other powers that Greenland is off-limits to them because Denmark cannot do it by itself that's why if there are countries that Denmark can trust, they are none other than Sweden and Norway. After all, they were once one under the Kalmar Union.

[@raymondmartin6737]

Very interesting story of current interest to many. 😊

[@caseclosed9342]

The most likely US “takeover” of Greenland (if it were to happen, which is unlikely) is Greenland could become independent and enter an agreement with the US similar to the Compact of Free Association some Pacific islands have with the United States. COFA countries are independent, but receive aid through the US. Their citizens can live and work in the United States without a visa, go to college in the United States and - since the US military defends COFA countries under the treaty - COFA citizens can join the United States military without being U.S. citizens. In fact, COFA countries have the highest rate of US military participation, higher than all US states and territories.

I think you just dated exactly why corporations and countries are not trying to help our planet. It's all about money and it's sad because this is the only planet that we have.... And when it goes we all will go with it

Europeans should not be in North America with colonies...With or without the Monroe Doctrine.

[@JaneMurray-di3gq]

Why? It’s how North America started!

Did they really name a food start-up after the funny fat guy from Breaking Bad???

Get some ships that can haul the ice urn to fresh water put in water tankers and u def got trillions just in water value plenty of places need water and if we concerned its raising water levels well takes care of two issues thanks

The comment about Greenland being unable to defend itself is misleading. Greenland is part of Denmark, and therefore of NATO. Any attack on Greenland would be an attack on 32 countries at once.

[@kepler656]

Article 5 isn't concrete on what defines soveriegn land. Greenland is territory of Denmark, thus no need for NATO intervention. Same reason why NATO didn't jump in during the Falklands war

[@vascoapolonio2309]
