USA HID NUKES IN GREENLAND, DANES LET IT HAPPEN, GREENLAND TO SECEDE

A huge international scandal is unfolding in Greenland right now. The Danish allowed the Americans to build nuclear powered bases and hide up to 600 nuclear warheads under the Greenlandic ice sheet during the Cold War and never admitted it to Greenlandic authorities. Now it has become clear that the waste from these projects will soon come out of the ice with tens of thousands of tons of dangerous radioactive waste. The Greenlandic government has threatened to secede from Denmark and sue Denmark and USA in United Nations courts.

>Project Iceworm was the code name for a top-secret United States Army program during the Cold War to build a network of mobile nuclear missile launch sites under the Greenland ice sheet. The ultimate objective of placing medium-range missiles under the ice— close enough to strike targets within the Soviet Union— was kept secret from the Danish government. To study the feasibility of working under the ice, a highly publicized "cover" project, known as Camp Century, was launched in 1960.

Secession from Denmark never more popular.

The Greenlandic population feels betrayed and that Danes don't care about Greenlandic people. 70% of the Greenlandic population now wants independence. Two months ago, a committee in charge of organizing the future separation of Greenland from Denmark was founded. The Greenlandic PM has said that Greenlanders are "sick and tired" of Danish claims that "Greenland can't live without Denmark" which are "coloured by Danish interests".

oh no, greenland is mad at us

>70% of the Greenlandic population now wants independence

So what, like 5000 people?

This isn't about the US, you have no real reason to care, it's the Danes that are fucked.
The total land area of the Kingdom of Denmark will shrink by over 90% if Greenland secedes, and virtually all valuable resources within the Kingdom of Denmark will be lost to the newly founded Greenlandic state.

No, around 40.000 people

>Danish -civil war of 2017

>tfw the complete and utter destruction of D*nmark is finally at hand

Is there a rivalry between the danes and you people or is it just you?

>greenland will secede
Finally
Now we dont have to give money to those snowchinks anymore

This was well known.

idk

>A huge international scandal is unfolding in Greenland right now
Huge as in known for years, by anyone interested, which is no one. They can leave if they want. Godspeed stupid fridge indians.

Lmao Greenl*nd is a society of complete retards who keep demanding more autonomy Denmark saying they don't need no dane, then fucking everything up and begging them for moni. If anything most Danes will probably be glad if it happens.

Fugging based :D

Fuck D*nmark, maybe we can finally have Hans forever!

Protip: Greenland made Denmark BILLIONS in oil money

except Denmark has been favoring Greenlandic independence for years

The cost of hanging on to Greenland far outweighs the benefits. The problem is that Greenland's population is so small that it's hard for them to do certain basic things, such as provide higher education. They do have a university, but it's a very small one obviously, and most Greenlanders currently go to Denmark to study. There are plenty of issues of this nature, which complicate independence.

Don't get me wrong though, I would like for Greenland to become independent. We would finally have a new North American cuntry, and it would be cool for an aboriginal population in the New World to have their own cunt. Not to mention traditional Inuit culture and mythology are pretty neat. Also, there might be ways for them to establish favorable bilateral relationships with the USA and Denmark; basically, in exchange for allowing the USA to have Thule Airbase and for allowing Denmark certain geopolitical advantages in the Arctic, they could get some shekels or maintain deals allowing Greenlanders to study in Danish universities, for example.

Protip: All the oil fields, so far exploited, are far away from Greenlandic waters.

>A huge international scandal is unfolding in Greenland right now.
no I googled it and nothing came up?

Will the Danes let Greenland secede or will they use force like the Union did to keep Greenland?

We'll gladly pay reparations if they join us as the 51st state

>Now it has become clear that the waste from these projects will soon come out of the ice with tens of thousands of tons of dangerous radioactive waste.
What is this horseshit? Did the warheads shatter under the ice and leak out the payload? How did 600 warheads translate into tens of thousands of tons of radioactive waste?

Lets assume that all the warheads are W78s that weight roughly 330kg. That would be 198 tons, not even close to a thousand let alone tens of thousands.

The fuck is this shit?

Oh I heard about this already.

Also, the independence will be short lived.

>mfw I get to move Greenland

>this is what finns actually believe

Eskimo trying do math on their fingers, while also using the Danish way of counting.

Icelandic propaganda

Become independent and then what? Drink until they pass out?

americans fuck up yet again


AHAHAAAHAHAHAAAAAHAH


Greens should confiscate those nukes just like China did with their submarine

Independence is inevitable. The danish language has been abolished, they have gotten more and more autonomy. They have been moving towards independence for many years.

The only problem is that they still rely on Danish charity for a lot of their GDP.

Hasn't Denmark conceded most of the powers it had over Greenland by this point? It seemed like Greenland was already on the way to independence, and now it's just accelerating.

So would the dispute over Hans Island then be between Canada and Greenland?

The Eternal Leaf obviously just views this as an opportunity to seize clay.

here is how i understand it, after reading one (1) article (theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/27/receding-icecap-top-secret-us-nuclear-project-greenland-camp-century-project-iceworm)

1. americans made a base called "camp century" in northern greenland in the 50s-60s

2. the purpose was to store ballistic missiles and aim them at the ussr, of course

3. the base was very large and advanced, spanned across 3km

4. there was a secret project called "project iceworm" which never actually happened
4a. the plan was to expand the camp for many kilometers in every direction, have tons of underground tunnels which stored more ballistic missiles
4b. never happened because did not make sense geologically, too risky

5. usa abandoned the camp eventually in the late 60s, took the nuclear reactor (which powered the camp) with them

6. what remains at the site is ~200k liters of diesel, and an unknown amount of other waste

7. it made sense at the time to leave all the waste there because it was all buried under ~12m of ice, away from civilization. global warming was not a thing at the time either

8. now it is under ~35m of ice, even better

9. the problem is, it is getting warmer now and scientists believe the retraction of the ice will be irreversible by 2090.

10. apparently denmark was not notified of the remains nor the plans to expand the operation

tldr: usa didn't clean up their mess, it could become a problem in 80 years

11. Stupid Greenlanders who thinks the grass is greener on the other side.

about time ireland colonized iceland and greenland i reckon

You guys can't even get northern ireland and want to seize greenland and iceland lol

why don't you shut up you dirty spic

...

Can Denmark maybe give greenland clay to Sweden?

Wena nido

...

HOW WILL JACKSEPTICEYE EVER RECOVER

So it's just business as usual in Greenland then.

It was a civilian science drone

You forget that other matter can be contaminated with nukes too. When a nuckear powerplant is shut down, only a small part of the radioactive waste is formed by the actual fuel.

do denmark and iceland have a conflict with each other? i love iceland and i need to know.

Nah it's just a phase. Iceland will come back once they grow up.

>Dani in denial

is there a reason for it though?

i thought an icelander discovered greenland? why does denmark own it?

Chile bringing the bantz

RARE

no one really knows

Because Iceland is danish

how new are you?

Iceland and Greenland were Norwegian clay until Denmark took us by force after the plague killed off most of our population, and when the Swedes took Norway, it wasn't specified that Greenland and Iceland would follow, thus remaining under Denmark.

(ignore flag btw, am just on holidays)

I, for one, will definitely fight as a volunteer in the Inuit Seal-Cavalry to smash the evil Danskjävlar during the war for Greenlandian independence.

those abandoned early warning radar sites in greenland are 2spooky4me

All 30 Greenlanders are in favor of seceding? That sounds pretty serious.

Europe is USA bitch, more news at 11

They actually rejected Norn Iron when they asked to join (and as far as I remember Brits were fine with it).

Ah yes.. the death of the danes. We have all been waiting for this

Nice, can we have our colony back?

leafs will no doubt use the political unrest to gain foothold on that rock

Around a dane only pain

why would greenland try to sue the USA? What did we do wrong? we have a right to store weapons in different countries..

From what I've gathered, it seems that every Scand nation hated the Danes for Albion-tier perfidy throughout the centuries

It was the waste from the nuclear power plants for the US military camps that leaked not the warheads. They just dumped it in the ice and didn't think any further.

Danes are imperialist swine and should all be killed.

>Under the rule of the Danish monarchy, Iceland suffered greatly. In the year 1550 Iceland was forced to disown Catholicism, which had been its Christian faith, and adopt Lutheranism, which, being a state religion, gave the Danish monarch greater power. Due to poor harvests, epidemics, the oppression of the Danish government, which enforced, among other things, a trade monopoly with Iceland, and volcanic eruptions, the greatest of which in the recorded history of mankind occurred in Iceland in 1783, the population of Iceland in the year 1800 was only 38000, half of what it was in the year 1100.

>In the 19th century a long battle for independence was fought with the Danish government, mostly in the political arena of Copenhagen. Iceland's most prominent champion was Jón Sigurðsson, a national hero, who was both a statesman and a scholar. Although Iceland kept gaining ground from the late 19th century, it was not until the 17th of June, 1944, that Iceland regained its full independence and established the current Republic of Iceland.

Iceland was ruled by Denmark in the same way as Greenland until 1944. Some people still harbour resentment.

We din du nuffin

>d*nm*rk

Better learn North American English.

nobody gives a fuck about greenland anymore, all of those atlantic-niggers do nothing but coming to denmark and become alcoholics anyway

They have their own language.

Ah, fuck.

Ok, our mess. We need to clean it up.

Are you danes the evil guys in the scandi soap opera?

The world speaks English. That's just a fact.

>What is a second language
Nice going, lard

But if they leave, you'll lose any claims you might have had to the arctic ocean and it will be between USA and Russia

Canadian Hans Island now

Fuck the D*nish!
Free Greenland!
Free The Faroes!

I support their secession 100%

This can be applied to 90% of the world's problems.

If Greenland secedes will it be the only country in the americas with a native official language?

We shall plant our seeds in their clay, and water them with their blood. We shall sweep across Greenland with the ferocity of a strong wind. And when the breeze settles, and the Greenlandics beg for mercy, we'll just say "Surry, eh."

I think there's Bolivia, Paraguay and Guatemala that uses native languages as official

No, Paraguay has Guarani as an official language.

>antok att islenderan noken gang kjem tilbake at dem fjell-lose danskan

We will melt it in front of your very eyes with blow dryers.

How is Greenland actually viable as an independent country? It will just become a wasteland full of alcoholics just like Indian reservations in the US do.

Why bother with snowmartian?

Please let Greenland join the US, then we can finally surround Canada on all three sides.

>tldr: usa didn't clean up their mess, it could become a problem in 80 years

Why don't we just... clean up the mess?

>tf;tp
Oh man

>the Greenlandics

Greenlanders
People from Iceland are also called Icelanders
The languages however are called Greenlandic and Icelandic respectively.

>the US
>taking responsibility

hoho

TIL the plague only affected Norway

They will probably start a project to pay people to move there, or it will become a white Haiti.

What about North America?

>Greenland
>White

Thanks for the clarification Icelander bro. You guys are alright.
