Why Everyone Talks About Iran and Forgot Greenland

 Hello. My name is Umka, and I am a polar bear from Greenland. My life is usually very simple: I walk on ice, catch fish, watch the northern lights, and sometimes listen to human news coming from the radios that fishermen leave on their boats. But lately I noticed something strange. Humans seem to have completely forgotten about Greenland. Everywhere I listen now, people talk only about Iran.

A few years ago it was different. Suddenly everyone was discussing Greenland, and I kept hearing the phrase “Trump Greenland.” At first I didn’t understand what it meant. I even asked a walrus if humans were planning to move here. He told me that apparently someone wanted to buy the whole island. Buy Greenland! I looked around at the glaciers, the snow, the endless ice fields and thought: this is a very strange idea. Still, for a short time it was nice that people remembered our island exists.

But humans change topics faster than a seal escaping a hungry bear. Today it’s one headline, tomorrow another. Now every radio, every conversation, every piece of news seems to be about Iran. Iran this, Iran that, more Iran. Meanwhile here in Greenland everything continues as usual. The wind is still cold, the ocean is still full of fish, and the icebergs are slowly drifting past like they always do.

So I sit on my iceberg and listen to human news, wondering how the whole world can forget a place as big and beautiful as Greenland so quickly. Maybe one day people will again talk about Trump Greenland and remember this icy island. Until then, I suppose I will keep doing normal polar bear things — catching fish, walking across the ice, and patiently waiting for humans to notice Greenland again.

And while I wait, maybe I’ll spin a few slots in an online casino, just to pass the time. Who knows — maybe I’ll hit a jackpot before Trump remembers our island again. 🐻‍❄️
