  • Neutrality was always a gamble that ‘they’ won’t go after you next. Alliances were always a gamble that you would be sucked in eventually anyway (or that by losing a major partner your life would be worse even if they don’t come)

    sweden played neutrality after wwii but had private assurance from various nato powers that if anything happened they would be there, but neutrality was better for nato. (We fortunatly have no idea if those promises meant anything)



  • I do not approve of empires. I don’t approve of Denmark having land in/near North America. I do not approve of the US having land elsewhere - we made the right decision with the Philippians to make them an independent country after winning it. (Guam makes sense as a US navy base, but otherwise should be an independent country, there are a few other islands in the area that US has that don’t have the population to be independent, but I support turning them over to New Zealand/Australia)

    That said, Canada is the obvious owner for Greenland if they can’t be an independent country, not the US.
