Trump wants to buy Greenland

Trump doesn't seem to understand that Denmark doesn't "own" Greenland to sell in the first place. Denmark's MPs have even said flat out, even if they wanted to sell it, it's not their prerogative to do so. The people of Greenland would have to make the choice, not the Danes.

IMO it's just more evidence of what a narrow, simple-minded view of the world our President has.

Unpopular opinion. But I think it's a great idea. Small population, vast resources, and in an important geopolitical location.

I think he's thinking out of the box, and good for him.


Edit - I should have read the article first, it basically says what I say. :)

Yes, strategically, it's a good idea. Just like Alaska was.

You just have the *minor* little problem of the people who live there who might not agree with the notion.
it's not like it's uncommon for the head of one country to want the land/resources of another state... and to try to find some way to take it... but that's usually what people call an "invasion"....

You are correct about the invasion... but...

Edit - Let's not call it an 'invasion'... 'conquest' sounds much cooler.

Let's present it as a socialist idea. It would get tons of support.

Well, lets face it - if we were to acquire it, it would definitely be a socialist program to prop up the people there.
 
I thought it was called "spreading freedom" when we do it in the middle east :D

You sound like somebody who doesn't have much experience in real estate. :lol:

The population of Greenland is like 56,000 people and we have Thule Air Force Base already located there. I say we just take it.

Agreed, cause let's face it, what's Denmark going to do about it. Fight us? Yeah right. Just say we're liberating the native people from those nasty Danes. :sniper: :usa:





J/k :lol:



But seriously, I'd wheel Greenland, looks awesome.:driver:

What they don't get is that we wouldn't be buying the people..... we'd be buying the real estate. That's how land purchases work. Just ask Alaska. Do you think Nanook got a say in the US being bought from Russia? He just went about his seal-clubbing business and rolled with it. Trump knows what time it is. He doesn't give a rat's ass who's living on the surface of Greenland. He wants what's beneath it. You can only mine so much ore out from under an Air Force Base before someone notices.

So I assume your profile is incorrect and you no longer live in the U.S.? Because if you do still live here (and we all know you do), he is your President as well.
 
This is all just pointless internet cockwaggling.
 
I think buying Greenland is a great idea if the USA can make it happen.
