Reminds me of the time Europe carved up the Ottoman Empire during WWI.
UK to King Faisal: Help us against the Ottomans and we'll let you have the whole thing including Jerusalem
UK to Balfour: Help us in the war and we'll give you Jerusalem
UK to France: You can have Syria, we get Jerusalem
UK for the next century: Why is everyone fighting over who owns Jerusalem?!
@Violetta Greenland.... financially independent? HEHEHEHE! That's a good one. All seriousness, they would also need their own defence force as well, else they be overrun fast.
Oh I thought the puppy from [links removed] EPIC BATTLE would come back, I like to imagine even though Denmark and Canada co-own the dog it's Greenland who has to take care of him
Geographically it would make more sense if it was Canada and Greenland's island/dog but since Greenland is a Danish territory it falls under Canada and Denmark
also, I love the absolute shade and sarcasm Humon has in this comic
I loved this story- the most polite 'war' in hisory. No tearing down of flags, just polite running them down the pole and replacing them with the 'right one'- and, at some point, leaving a bottle of the 'proper' owner's classic alcohol (Canadian Club Whiskey for Canada- the REAL owners ;) ). It's a big rock in the ocean with no plants, no permanent animal population and probably, if at all, only some very hardy lichen living there. Not much of a strategic or valuable piece of real estate. I was actually really sad that us and Denmark and Greenland and Nunavut decided to end it- it really was a pretty funy 'conflict'; and it was an example of the absolute BEST way to fight over land... with flags and booze.
@VikingEmpress Canada just wants a tiny island that has no life on it and agreed to share the island with Greenland/Denmark, it was up to Denmark to give Greenland a say in the island negotiation
@VikingEmpress Here's a comment that's aged very poorly.
There's a third idiot chomping at the bit to do so, except he's not at all polite, and surprisingly serious.
