Absolutely it provides choice. But your assertion here is that these people would view happiness through that choice in a way that represents you and not them

Ah, so for once you're not telling me what I'm actually thinking, and are now telling me what 50,000 Greenlanders are actually thinking.

I love this place.

You said they’d be glad of the money so they could live somewhere warm. Which suggests you’re assuming something unless you’ve done a detailed study that proves this.

What you meant was I’d be glad of the money so I can live somewhere warm.

It’s ok to be obsessed with materialism just remember many people arent

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did the reporter ask them if they'd change their mind if offered $1 billion? Or even just $1 million? If you want to challenge my assertion at least do it on a like for like basis.

And now, no longer in the limelight, President Zelenskyy - who was originally not going to attend Davos - has come out being critical of an (admittedly overly loquacious yet short on strategy) EU, whom has at least continued to stand by him when Trump has pulled all but intel support (and even at one time was threatening to pull that too). What soap opera are we exactly watching again, here?

I am unsure of the facts, but I’m pretty sure that since the Biden administration not another USD has gone Ukraine’s way, and even before that it cumulatively didn’t surpass that of the other combined NATO (chiefly EU) contributors.

Now, notwithstanding for a minute the horror, upheaval, daily briefings upon grief and destruction faced, the logistical, infrastructural, motivational and strategic challenges and decisions he faces on a daily basis, is this not a tad ungrateful, opposed to what we saw last February in the White House?

I don’t quite know what it is that the Orange one has that seems to have everyone eating from the palm of his hand, but where does it end? I get that Zelenskyy’s speech may have been heavily edited (after all, it wouldn’t exactly be the first time) and neither am I saying that the EU is perfect - it clearly is far from it when it comes to making strong and far-reaching decisions with any haste. But is he completely forgetting where he’d be right now were it not for Europe, since January 2025 at least?

This whole chain of world events seems more and more of a sales pitch for US-made defence tech the longer it goes on. And it seems that even one-time ‘statesmen of the year’ are prepared to go back on their principles to suck up to an administration that not once, but twice, had him practically evicted from discussions. Those he was deemed important enough to be invited to, of course.

If anything good can come from this whole sorry charade of international u-turning and giving in to the (metaphorically) nuclear first-pitch, it is that the EU gets its act together. Because Zelenskyy’s speech of today must feel somewhat of a slap in the face.
