The U.S. has — by far — the world’s largest defense budget, spending $948 billion last year. Its armed forces have 1.3 million personnel — some of them currently stationed in Greenland. Denmark, for its part, last year spent $9.9 billion, has only 17,000 soldiers, and most of its heavy land-warfare equipment has been donated to Ukraine.
I absolutely cannot say qoqassiisarlutik sorsuttut, but I do thank them for their service.
Honestly, I like singing along to Greenlandic songs sometimes. I end up wondering if I’m really so weird for not finding reading Greenlandic particularly challenging, or if other people just get scared off by the word lengths and never actually try.
