Three Things Over This Greenland Chatter

 1. Various European countries are in the process of  sending a handful of troops to Greenland....to defeat Trump invasion

After pondering it....I thought....why would Putin not get involved?  Russia ought to line up a 60-man 'team'.....deploy into Greenland and vow to fight the evil  Americans.  The Europeans would 'buy' into this and form an alliance with Russia.

2.  There are two (only 2) news sources in Greenland. First,  there's Kalaallit Nunaata Radio (KNR)...the public broadcaster providing radio, TV, and online news in Greenlandic and Danish. 

Second: Sermitsiaq.AG: A private media operation  which publishes two newspapers (Sermitsiaq weekly and Atuagagdliutit/Grønlandsposten twice weekly), online news, magazines, and a free local paper in Nuuk (Nuuk Ugeavis).

Even if a 'deal' is made....both would have to survive and continue on....sponsored by the US gov't.

3.  Reading through various material....I came across a study from the 1980s...on alcoholism on Greenland.

Roughly 50-perent of society is noted with some type of alcohol issue....with roughly half of that group noting binge-drinking coming up at least once a month.

On cannabis-use?  Roughly ten-percent are  noted as regular users.
