NUUK, Greenland — Native Greenlander Amarok Petersen was 27 years old when she learned the gut-wrenching truth about why she couldn’t have children — and that Denmark was to blame.
Suffering from severe uterine problems, a medical doctor discovered an IUD birth control device in her body that she didn’t know she had.
Danish doctors had implanted it when she was just 13 as part of a population control program for thousands of native Greenlandic girls and women.
“I will never have children,” Petersen told The Post, with tears of anger and sorrow welling in her eyes. “That choice was taken from me.”

If this article is true, it is easy to see Trump's strategy. America will invest in Greenland and create a win-win relationship for both parties. Denmark doesn't seem interested in helping the residents of Greenland.

#1, just ask medieval Britons. Greenlanders may want independence but that ship sailed and now? Forget Denmark. Their new alliance will be either China or the U.S.

This is horrible. If true, this is downright barbaric...forced sterilizations to control the population. This is just crazy. Let the people decide what they want. Wow, this sounds like something Nazi Germany would do during Hitler's rein.

What is so different from American Doctors sterilizing young men and women with this gender changing BS the woke Doctors do to young men who's parents wanted a girl.

What is an abomination is that this is not new. Sweden sterilized its women. The USA did too. We also can't forget England. Eugenics has been with us for over a hundred years. The Nazi's sent representatives to the US to learn from our program. Bill Gates' father was a proponent of Eugenics. This answers a lot of questions about Billy Boy. Human nature has never changed. We no longer abhor the seven deadly sins. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony wrath and sloth All these permeate our society with no shame attached.

Supposedly the Canadians did the same thing. The US also forced the separation of native American children. To my knowledge, forced sterilization wasnt a thing here.
Having Greenland would provide long term economic benefit for the US, but that ignores what Greenlanders want. My default position is and always has been the right to self determination. When people are forced to live with one another. You end up with Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. Two countries held together by force.

This reads like what happened to the American Indians. Lived in MT for 33 yrs and the situation these people are describing, Greenland sounds like an Indian reservation.

FTA - "As the United States renews interest in Greenland — with President Trump recently expressing a desire to buy the island — Danish officials have repeatedly emphasized that “Greenland is not for sale.” But many Greenlanders argue that slogan masks a deeper truth: Denmark still governs Greenland, not Greenlanders themselves."
The Greenlandic woman's account in the article appears credible. But let us now watch for the Danish version of damage control. My sense is Denmark will ignore this news account and simply let it slip slowly out of the news cycle.

Those Danish b--tards are pure E-V-I-L to the Greenlanders! Why was population control so important to a people with only ≈50,000 inhabitants?

Forced sterilization = Danish Planned Parenthood
Woodrow Wilson and Margaret Sanger wanted to do this to all blacks and other "inferior" people. And the idiotic delusional demonrats today are all for it.

First, verify the story is true.
Second, Europe has been experiencing a population decline for some time. Are the European governments practicing sterilization on their own people?
Third, China practices sterilization. Still want to ally with them?
Sterilization is the leftist way.

They need to have a referendum and declare independence. Then they can join the USA if they want. Simple and no drama.

When I read the account of eugenics in Jonah Goldberg's book Liberal Fascism, I was horrified. I did more study and found that the sterilization of "inferior" people has been done quite often by the elite. It's very sad and a huge violation of human rights, yet there are people who will defend it even now.
Too bad Jonah has such severe TDS

There is a reason why Nazis Germany had Denmark as a extension/protectorate of Germany. A lot of similarities in thought.

Virtually all countries have evil practices in their histories, but Denmark was enforcing racially targeted sterilizations as recently as 2010, according to this article.
This begs a few follow-up questions:
1. Have they stopped doing so, and if so, when?
2. Which groups were targeted, and why? Was it only indigenous Greenlanders?
3. Who within the Danish govt is responsible, and will the World Court prosecute them?

I was wondering if this article was true, or just propaganda trying to stir people up to support the US takeover....
Well, Wikipedia (I know) says it is true:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_case
(Not that Canada and the US haven't done similar, at times in the past.)

Why is it that Trump seems to “know things” before anyone else does, all the while people are calling him a dictator — and worse? People are up in arms about buying Greenland. They think he’s overstating his case. But in addition to our absolutely needing GL, now we find out about forced sterilization. Is he doing the cosmic chess thing again?
