Saha Ullsvig

Saha Ullsvig is the Greenlandic voice in How to get what Greenland has, with permission who reframes the episode away from great-power acquisition and toward Greenland’s own agency. The source uses her comments to reject questions that treat Greenlanders as passive spectators while other states decide their future.

Ullsvig says Greenlanders have long been capable traders because trade has been part of surviving and thriving in the Arctic. In the episode, that history supports Strategic Access Without Annexation: Greenland can cooperate with the United States and others without becoming a new colony or a resource package to be acquired.

Her comments also broaden the stakes beyond Greenland alone. The source says aggressive rhetoric around Greenland can make taking over other countries seem less taboo, weakening alliance safety and world peace even if people in Greenland are not described as panicked.
