News flash for Vanity Fair magazine and leftist Icelandic singer Björk!
An independent Greenland would be several orders of magnitude easier for the United States to bring into the fold than if it were to remain part of Denmark. And yet this is what Björk is demanding with Vanity Fair acting as her cheerleader.
You can read this hilariously misguided effort by Vanity Fair (and Björk) to somehow stop Trump in Tuesday's story by Kahina Sekkai, "Björk Has a Plan to Save Greenland From Donald Trump."
First we see Sekkai hype the heroic efforts of this lady to somehow stop Trump by setting up the conditions, namely Greenland independence from Denmark, which would make it much much easier for the USA to acquire Greenland:
...one Icelandic woman has called on Greenlanders, who are technically Danish citizens, to declare their independence in order to resist American imperialism as well as Danish government control. If we may have your attention, Björk has something to say.
On Twitter, the singer wished the country's citizens “good luck in their fight for independence.”
“Icelanders are extremely relieved to have succeeded in freeing themselves from the Danes in 1944, we didn't lose our language (my children would be speaking Danish now) and I burst with sympathy for Greenlanders,” she wrote on Monday.
Björk then goes on to describe the horrors of Danish occupation of Greenland.
The singer went on to talk about the history of “forced contraception, where 4,500 girls as young as 12 got IUD without their knowledge between 1966 and 1970,” in Greenland, linking to news articles on the history, and pointing to recent familial separations as proof that “still today the Danish are treating Greenlanders like they are second class humans.”
“Colonialism has repeatedly given me horror chills up my back, and the chance that my fellow Greenlanders might go from one cruel colonizer to another is too brutal to even imagine,” she continued. “Dear Greenlanders, declare your independence,” she urged, adding a map of her own, this one Greenland drenched with its own flag.
Polls have shown Greenlanders (by a plurality) favor independence, but don't favor become a part of the United States. However, if they gained independence, Politico reports they could strike a deal with America for a "compact of free association" like Micronesia or the Marshall Islands, in which "the U.S. provides essential services, protection and free trade in exchange for its military operating without restriction on those countries' territory."
If the brain cells of Björk and Vanity Fair's Sekkai (which have apparently been short circuited by extreme TDS) ever recuperate, will they realize that independence is likely to lead to Team Trump's dealmaking? If so, will the Vanity Fair story be updated to congratulate Denmark as a highly enlightened colonizer of Greenland?
