A country that's threatening to make Canada its 51st state says what?

I was wondering about Greenland - 51 or 52 ?.

  • I'm betting Greenland will be first just because it's a small operation that nobody is going to contest realistically.

    • Are you absolutely positive? Danes and Germans already sent troops and France a nuclear sub and a Frigate. UK, Sweden, Finland and others are preparing to send troops as well. Perhaps "small operation" is not a foregone conclusion.

    • I don't think America ever said that Greenland would be a state, that it would be an overseas territory of the US instead, which still sucks, but I don't think Trump wants 2 senators and 1 house member from a territory that is bound to be much more liberal than the average American state. Inuits vote Democrat even in Alaska.
