Dear EU,If you'd like to keep Greenland Danish again, the call you need to make is the following: "Yes, Mr President? Yes. Yes. Very happy to talk to you Sir. And a good year to you too Sir, I am sure things are going great on your side.Now, if I may, about Greenland. Yes, yes, Sir.I am sorry to inform you that if you keep threatening Greenland, the ECB as well as the Bank of England will start selling 1 billion dollars of US Treasury bond until you stop and desist. No sir, per hour."

And when China is the sound of reason... It's time to worry:In response to a question [...], Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson [...] said: “China has stated its position on multiple occasions on Greenland.“The international law underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter is the foundation of the current international order and must be upheld.“We urge the US to stop using the so-called “China threat” as a pretext for itself to seek selfish gains.”(Ouch)
