Greenland’s population is overwhelmingly against leaving the Danish realm in favor of the US, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump’s insistence the island is keen to join.
OTOH, there’s this theory among …certain Americans… that you only need 3% in favor to stage a successful revolution. So, Greenland seems ripe for a little CIA drama.
Do they actually think you only need 3% support? I thought it was more like 3% active support, and majority passive support (no “sticking their neck out”), which is roughly historically accurate for basically every insurgency, at least in that insurgency’s target communities.
Sure, plantation and business owners are enough. They have the local money and control people’s incomes. They can fund/extort/exploit to get it done. They have the pineapples/bananas They’re also more likely sociopaths ready to prioritize personal enrichment over social well being
