but it's not a simple situation because Denmark provides it with both national defense and funding for social services; right now Greenland doesn't have the infrastructure to be a self-supporting, completely independent country. Historically Denmark hasn't always treated Greenlanders very well, but if they can't be independent they'd rather have Denmark than the US. Hell, I'd rather be under the rule of the Kingdom of Denmark right now.
