Greenland's prime minister said Friday that the mineral-rich Arctic territory's people don't want to be Americans, but that he understands U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's interest in the island given its strategic location and he's open to greater cooperation with Washington.

Egede acknowledged that Greenland is part of the North American continent, and "a place that the Americans see as part of their world." He said he hasn't spoken to Trump, but that he's open to discussions about what "unites us."
"Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions," he said.
Egede has been calling for independence for Greenland, casting Denmark as a colonial power that hasn't always treated the Indigenous Inuit population well.
"Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic," he said at a news conference alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Copenhagen.

The Danish public broadcaster, DR, reported Friday that Trump's team encouraged homeless and socially disadvantaged people in Greenland to appear in a video wearing the MAGA hats after being offered a free meal in a nice restaurant. The report quoted a local resident, Tom Amtof, who recognized some of those in a video broadcast by Trump's team.

"They are being bribed, and it is deeply distasteful," he said.

Instead of China, maybe London should send those carriers to Greenland to "assert rule of law" to their papa America instead.

Very bold words for an excuse of a country that jails its own native citizens for posting "offensive" memes condemning the rape of local children by foreign immigrants . . .

So the Russian military doesn't have a monopoly on liberating washing machines as British media implied?!

Basically the old frail guy saying his pants still fit without the need for suspenders. Yes, gramps, that is true - your pants are still on. But is the shaft still broken?

That was the Taiwan getting hypersonics headline from a while back. Given the radio silence ever since, I'd say probably not

In the event the USA gets into the trouble we know is bound to happen this year, a warning by either Russia or China should be sent to the UK with the sinking of one of their air carriers deep at sea and if the UK fails to take the hint to stop with these half baked James Bond bullshit, sink the other carriers plus the entire lot of those ships to finally make the UK feel some serious pain for once that no amount of crying is going to hide the truth. Seriously, the idea that the UK can pretend to be the big boy has long past, really imagine how many nations would celebrate if the UK is put into its place for once instead of running to Uncle Sam every time they get into trouble

LoL! Infosys co-founder demands for 70 work hours a week. Larsen & Toubro chairman demands for 90 work hours a week.

Infosys co-founder, Narayana Murthy said that he wants Indians to have the mindset of working 70 hours a week for the country. But is he and India worth working extra hours for?

Larsen & Toubro chairman, S.N. Subrahmanyan wants 90 hours a week work. Because apparently he works on Sundays and Indian family men only stare at their wives on Sundays. LoL!

So this is India's solution to compete with China's productivity? Good luck and Jai Hind!

Bear in mind 5 Indian man hours is equivalent to 1 American man hour which is equivalent to 0.5 Chinese man hours
