Why is Trump fixated on Greenland? @sbg1.bsky.social recalls what he told us in 2021: "I said, 'Why don’t we have that?' You take a look at a map...I love maps. And I always said 'Look at the size of this, it’s massive and that should be part of the United States.'" www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...
Why Donald Trump Wants Greenland (and Everything Else)
There’s no Trump Doctrine, just a map of the world that the President wants to write his name on in big gold letters.

Just so you know, in real life Greenland is approx. the same size as Western Australia.

Sur les cartes projetées par les médias, on a l’impression que le territoire groenlandais est presque aussi grand que le continent africain. Mais en réalité sa superficie atteint 2,166,086 km² soit 4x celle de la France.
On nous aurait menti ? Explications. 🧐

@cnn.com - you should not use the #MercatorProjection when you discuss #Greenland. This is quite misleading visually in terms of land area.

A friendly reminder that the Mercator Projection of the globe distorts the relative size of land masses in the polar regions. E.g., Africa is 14x larger than #Greenland, despite looking similar in size on the #MercatorProjection: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsNl...

Common world map shows 'distorted view' of Africa. Advocates are trying to change that | CBC Radio
Cartographers and advocates are urging institutions to move away from the Mercator projection, which produces maps that significantly reduce the size of the Africa continent.

The Actual Sizes of the Continents: Why, Despite the UN’s Decision, the Maps on Your Phones Won’t Change
Equal Earth: Nearlyall the countries represented in the United Nations General Assembly recently voted in favor of geographic maps that more accurately reflect the actual areas of the various continents. Nevertheless, the UN resolution is unlikely to change the way millions of people view variations of 16th-century Mercator maps – with their distorted continental sizes – in mobile apps […]
