Greenland is part of the EU, hands off, yankee!
Lol, I just had a look at a US Geological Service map showing global oil fields and reserves. They divide the world into regions, on geological grounds. Of course, they put Greenland under "North America". The Americans will begin their "Greenland belong Texas" propaganda really soon.

Let's state the obvious, simply for the record: Greenland is, has been, and always will be part of the EU. So hands off, America, no matter how much oil there is along the Eastern Greenland seaboard. You will NEVER touch it! Yankee Go Home!! Keep your hands off of our ice-sheet!!! Go fight some Canadians or invade Burkina Fasso or some other empty defenseless desert sandpit, but stay away from our thing up there. It's ours!

No it wouldn't. You're right doing that would make it a part of China.

Operation Irritating Lorenzo (O.I.L.) over Europe's territorial claims has begun... :-D

Does anyone actually live in Greenland? And perhaps more importantly, how much oil are we talking about?

Operation Exposingtylers' Continuouslies, has begun. OPEC.

A few hundred thousand people live in Greenland. So you should have no remorse when slaughtering them. After all, a few hundred thousand more means nothing, compared to the millions you've already slaughtered since 1945. No biggy.
And FOX News won't mention a word, except that five evil terroristic nucular ice-bears were butchered by brave Marines, God Bless. CNN will send Christain Amanpour to report live from the Uummannaqq Hilton, describing and beaming back exactly what she saw on FOX News.

So this is basically a done deal.


To answer your second question: a whole lot.

Good one, Dave.

The question then becomes: can you put anything at all on Antarctica, that would not make it part of China?

We could put in a Pizza Hut or a Domino's, but there is not enough people there to bother with. :cry:

PS Besides Antartica is on the wrong side of the earth. Now either one Pizza Hut, or one Domino's
might just be profitable in Greenland. 8)

Don't try to deny that Greenland has numerous thick walled structures.

The reason for these is obvious - they are attempting to conceal their WMD program. Since they've been building these for years, it's likely that they will have functional nuclear devices in a matter of months if not weeks.

It is imperative that we bring freedom to the people of Greenland. 8)

Is anything not part of the EU now? Not even sure how Turkey could be considered part of the EU, it's an Islamic country in the Middle East, and this is going to in the same 'nation' as Dublin, Madrid, Edinburgh, Berlin, Oslo, Rome....Weird.

Ha! We can ill-afford to have the Danes become another nuclear nation. We must liberate the protectorate of Greenland from those ruthless vikings who want nothing more than to opress, pillage, and perform nasty nuclear research in our backyard. We cannot brook the extension of European nuclear force projection so near the continental United States. Let freedom ring! The window of opportunity is closing fast. We must act preemptively and bomb the living crap out of Greenland so that it is no longer merely green in name, but literally glows green with liberty.

It's actually in the Western Hemisphere and according to the Monroe Doctrine that makes it ours.

Would you really want to go to war with the US over Greenland?

And conversely would the US want to go to war with Denmark over Greenland?

There'd be considerably more if you thawed out all the Vikings.

I think an American marine with an M-16 would take out a viking with a battle axe and we haven't had weapons inspectors in Greenland for years. Who knows what those crazy Danes are up to! Greenland is closer to Canada than either Europe or the United States. I say we let the Canadian Anglo-Saxon Protestants take control of Greenland's oil.

Besides, Denmark is a small country without a large navy. It would be rather difficult for them to stop us from building an oil rig or two in the Artic Ocean.

It appears as though operation Counter Overtones of anti-American Leanings (C.O.A.L.) will continue according to plan.

PS. This is a fun game :lol:, we should continue it...

As a protectorate of Denmark, I would guess that Greenland is chock full of more of those crazy protestants that Lorenzo is constantly trying to eradicate.

Any scenario that has narrow-minded book-keepers murdering each other would be high on his list, I think. In fact, it would probably make losing that oil worth it.... 8)

Well, this thread may have become funny and silly, but not long ago I read an interview with Greenland's Minister of Economics (as you know, Greenland has its own political institutions, separately from Denmark), and she said that Greenland may become the first geopolitical hotspot in history putting the Americans squarely against the Europeans.

So, even though it will not come to an all out war, serious troubles over Greenland's oilfields may well arise.

I'll check for the interview and link it in here.
