Leaders of the bipartisan delegation said most Americans don’t want to acquire the territory, and thousands of Danes joined “Hands-off Greenland” protests.

Americans don’t want to conquer Greenland; just Trump those paying bribes (billionaires) or using blackmail (Putin)

      I read it, and I found it pig headed, and incorrect. People aren’t responsible for their governments neccessarily. If they were we could discrdit every peoples ever, including you now.

          No one uses that word, if it is one. But the question appears meaningless in the context of the question, buoyed as you may be by half wits following the flock.

          Every single group of people could be discounted blaming them for their government. Every single one, including yours. People are not responsible for other people, it’s not about country, or race, it’s about class.

              It is a nonsensical argument, as I laid out. Pigheaded. Unhelpful to anyone other than the ones responsible for your anger in this situation.

                  Democracy is a nebulous word, it’s a representative government with severe oligarchic rot. As your country is too I am sure. It could hardly not be.

                    So… “No”.

                    Did you miss the other half of the argument? If your country is not ruled by your people than you are not responsible. But you can’t be trusted, becouse your system can’t be trusted.

                    And of of course each democracy have problems. But do you even strive to be one? Your entire reaction after learning that your “representative” is planing to betray your allies was “what else is new”?

                    Did you truly excausted all your options? Truly? If you are opresed and affraid and unable to change it… OK. I get it and its fair. You are not reaponsible, you are a victim. But you should at a very least drop the cavalier atitute about it.
