  1. @Elivinture "If you want to see the contrast, just know that the danish mainland is the second happiest country on earth while danish overseas territories Greenland has the highest suicide rate in the world." That's not really a contrast. As unintuitive as it might be, population happiness and suicide rates have a positive correlation.

  2. "Denmark takes care of a lot of things that the people in Greenland would otherwise have to take care off and pay for itself (foreign politics and military among others)" I don't think Greenland would have to have a military. Iceland doesn't have a military and they do just fine. I think if Greenland ever becomes fully independent they'll likely forgo any armed forces.

  5.  @charlesmadre5568  Greenland already has at least one US base (in Thule). It's not much of a sacrifice anyway.
