          Why so? Genuinely curious. The US passport is the most reputable passport out there. And if you’re under 26, many countries will just accept you staying there for a year or two until you find a job.

              Is that all just for a work visa? Or are you trying to become Portuguese too? Sounds like a lot for a visa.

              spending time living over there (usually 180-300 days a year, minimum)

              What’s this for?

              There’s also the level 2 language test required pretty much anywhere you go that doesn’t speak English as a primary language

              That’s for a work visa? I live in Europe and worked with a few US Americans - none could speak the local language - not even a bit. If passing a language test were a requirement, they never would’ve gotten the work visa.

              I hope it won’t be the same for me when I move outside of the EU. If everything you’re describing is necessary for a work visa, goddamn, I don’t know how our parents put up with it.

    That should put an end to the conversation.

    If it doesn’t, we can with certainty dismiss all pretense of “inviting Greenland to be a state” and recognize that Trump is just undeterred in threatening invasion and exploitation of NATO territory. Likely with a dash of tyranny to keep the locals in line.
