“Denmark has controlled Greenland since 1721. Indigenous peoples lived there for thousands of years before that. In 1953, the world’s largest island transitioned from colony to become part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Today its domestic affairs are considered self-rule, while Denmark is responsible for Greenland’s foreign policy, defense, and currency.
But with regard to Greenland and the women who have lived there, Denmark has had a dirty little secret centered on population control: a relatively recent birth control practice that was forced on thousands of women, for which the country only apologized in September 2025.

According to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a group of independent researchers released a report that followed a two-year investigation. That investigation found that Denmark — from 1966 through 1992 — forced sterilization on more than 4,500 women and girls in Greenland, some as young as 12 years old. Many, if not most, were never told.

In the name of population control, doctors implanted an intra-uterine device (IUD) in the unsuspecting patients.:

Revelations of this birth control program only came to light in 2022 through a podcast called Spiralkampagnen. While the revelations first emerged three years ago, Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, only issued an apology to Greenland in the Fall of 2025.

She said, “We cannot change what has happened. But we can take responsibility…On behalf of Denmark, I would like to say sorry," while granting that the women and girls injured by the program had "experienced both physical and psychological harm."

Methinks many people of Greenland would like to cut ties
with Denmark and become a State of the USA.

Nothing wrong here to the Liberals. Nope.

Remember, some abortion rights groups wanted to control black population.

Still do.

Now they have abortions, prisons, culture, all sorts of stuff.

Europe and the Left are the racist slave trading imperialistic colonizer on this planet.

I hope the human race gets them back one day.

I was not aware of this horrifying history in Greenland.

Denmark basically sounds like a bunch of Nazis that the lefto whack jobs here claim the Republicans to be.

Ever hear of the Tuskeegee experiments?

But speaking of sterilizing members of unwanted populations, we’ve been known to do it as well. A true biparisan practice.

Methinks many people of Greenland would like to cut ties with Denmark and become a State of the USA.

Nope. Everyone *knows* you are incapable of independent thinking.

How do we know? The US did the same thing to US citizens NOT THAT LONG AGO. Obviously, they forgot to sterilize all the wives of the RWNJs.

I won't engage in "whataboutism". Others have already pointed out that we did the same thing. But your other statement is incorrect.

Methinks many people of Greenland would like to cut ties

Polls of Greenlanders show as high as 85% against becoming part of the US. They absolutely do not want it.

Is Tuskeegee in Greenland?

You learn something new every day.

Or sometimes not.

jerry ab,

Every time I read one of your posts, it makes me think of when I was a kid and watched a kids' T.V. show called the "Winchell Mahoney" show.

Winchell was the human, also, I think he invented a form of artificial heart too.

He was a ventriloquist, Jerry Mahoney was the main dummy.

However, even though your name is "jerry," it's actually Jerry's best friend, the stupid dummy, named "Knucklehead Smith" or "Knucklehead Jones" that I always think of when I read one of your posts.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, buddy.

Polls of Greenlanders show as high as 85% against becoming part of the US. They absolutely do not want it.

What!? They don’t want to live in a militarized, fascist dystopia with sky-high medical costs and a nostalgic return of the measles? How ungrateful!

Putin = Winchell.

Spankee = Mahoney.

You got their roles RIGHT !!!

Congratulations.

Mine was a snap judgment based on the article, which I should not have done.

“A majority of Greenland's inhabitants support independence, but are divided over the timing and potential impact on living standards.

Greenlandic politicians have since 2019 repeatedly said they are interested in strengthening cooperation and trade with the United States.”

Greenland’s politicians reject Trump wanting to buy Greenland from Denmark.
Staying on good terms with Greenland sounds promising though.

Staying on good terms with Greenland sounds promising though.

We agree.

But even threatening to “buy”Greenland, as if its inhabitants could be bought and sold without a voice in the matter… is not a path to harmonious relations

I'll bet LOTS of people in Greenland would LOVE to have an American passport, access to American benefits, and so forth. Maybe a deal can be worked out where they can retain dual citizenship.

OF COURSE many who believe it would be a good idea at least to explore the concept aren't going to admit to that.

I wouldn't swallow what the media claims whole cloth, they've been wrong about public opinion before.

VERY wrong.

lessee...what do they get as Danish subjects?

The right to healthcare services in Greenland

As in all Nordic countries, residents of Greenland have the right to healthcare that is free at point of use, including prescription medicine. However, users pay a proportion of the cost of aids and appliances, such as prosthetics or glasses. You are also entitled to a certain amount of free dental care.

https://www.norden.org/en/info-norden/right-health...

from the net sifter:

Education in Greenland, especially higher education for Nordic citizens, is
largely free at public institutions, though costs for living, materials, and potential language requirements (Greenlandic) apply; for international (non-Nordic) students, tuition fees are charged by the University of Greenland (Ilisimatusarfik) , with costs depending on the program, while primary/secondary education is compulsory and publicly funded.

For Nordic/EU Citizens:

Higher Education: You can study for free at Greenlandic universities and colleges, just like local students.

Requirements: Some programs require knowledge of Greenlandic (Kalaallisut)

Some years ago, God's Gift to Humanity Trump wondered why Norwegians don't move to the US in greater numbers. The world answers "why?"

Steve

They will love being part of the U.S.A. once they get accustomed to it.

Greenland will need to be re-named of course.

I suggest: TRUMPLEVANIA

Greenland will need to be re-named of course.

Why?

Compel Spankee to live there 24/7. After all, DEFENSE never sleeps. So he can NEVER leave.

I suggest: TRUMPLEVANIA

Because of course you do!

Here's the real dirty secret:

NATO is a joke. Its member states aren't terribly interested in doing what needs to be done for mutual defense.

Putin's recent actions seem to have focused their attention admirably.

I'll grant that it's better than it was just a couple of years ago. But a ready NATO looks like it did in 1990. A ready NATO also has secure energy supplies.

A German think tank looked at how well Germany was re-arming. Their assessment in 2024...wasn't pretty:

https://www.kielinstitut.de/publications/news/germ...

After decades of military downsizing, German military spending is woefully inadequate to meet the new strategic challenge posed by Russia—as both a new report by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and the new Kiel Military Procurement Tracker show. In combination with a cumbersome national procurement system and depending on weapon systems it would take Germany as much as a century to bring its military inventory up to the level of 20 years ago.

When the NATO countries start getting serious about having secure energy also then I'll believe they're viable partners like they used to be.

I was not aware of this horrifying history in Greenland.

Denmark basically sounds like a bunch of Nazis that the lefto whack jobs here claim the Republicans to be.

You're not aware of the Republicans hand in sterilizing Native American Women obviously. You are the Nazi whack jobs you just described above, thanks for describing yourself for us.

"Forced sterilization of Native American women in the U.S. became widespread from the 1960s into the 1970s, linked to broader population control efforts under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, though its roots trace back to earlier eugenics movements, with significant events happening under Nixon's watch as he addressed population concerns, leading to funding for programs that enabled these involuntary procedures."

The eugenics movement had broad bipartisan support from 1907 to 1937.

I'll grant that it's better than it was just a couple of years ago. But a ready NATO looks like it did in 1990. A ready NATO also has secure energy supplies.

I agree. Energy supply is a horrendous vulnerability. Used to be that the US was offering a secure alternative to Russian supply. But, now, the US doesn't look all that reliable either. The EU will need to ramp up nuke, solar, and wind, a lot, or else depend on the middle east for oil, which introduces another set of vulnerabilities.

Steve

Yeah whatever stupid meeting they had was I'm sure for P.R. purposes and simply to show their citizens they were "doing something."

I don't really understand what everyone is so upset about.

Trump thinks outside the box. However,apparently we've had our eye on Greenland for a long time, but prior Presidents kept it on the down low.

That's not Trump.

I suggest: TRUMPLEVANIA

Deport Spankee to that area and then cancel his US citizenship.

THEN watch the fur fly (LOL !!!).

Trump thinks outside the box.

He can't get out of his self-built prison cell.

The Artic sea routes as it pertains to Greenlands need for protection from Russia

the arctic map problem faces something thicker than the polar icecap...gop voters!
they are perfectly happy with both the greenland threat and climate change denial.
got any more anti-factuals to toss in?

they are perfectly happy with both the greenland threat and climate change denial.

Greenland could probably take the White House and remove Spankee if they chose to do so.
