If he did that, I'd 100% go visit... well, the southern most region. I suppose.

I agree with the Iceland thing tho... rather have that one.

Military purposes. Shuts off our northern flank on the east coast.

Plus I’m sure there are trillions in resources there

Greenland is an uninhabited territory.

Iceland is full of Icelanders. Two Dim Senators and a Dim Rep.

Meh. There's no other country with a navy to challenge us or the capital to build one. We can defend ourselves fine without it.

There’s also the minor different of Iceland being a sovereign nation and NATO member

United Airlines is launching flights from NY to Nuuk this summer.

Greenland is trying to grow tourism. Doing airport projects.

A land grab isn’t just for our time but our children’s children’s children’s time.

Military infrastructure and mineral and oil supplies to last a couple generations probably. Plus the out reach into the Atlantic surrounding.

Greenland in part of Denmark. If fact, it makes Denmark the largest country in Western Europe.

They could sell it as easily as Russia sold Alaska.

They won't though. They get a kick out of being a "big" country.

Greenland is super strategic with the pending arctic resource grab. We're building additional icebreakers already.

Not nearly enough, or quickly enough.

The self-imposed decimation of our ship-building capability is the most underrated threat to our national security in the 21st century. Churning out a Burke or two per year in bath and Pascagoula and a new carrier every 7 years at NN ain’t gonna cut it

Yeah, I fixed it. I was thinking Greenland but the last post I saw was Iceland so....

apologies, you effers are too quick, I started changing it as soon as I could find the little bitty 3 dots "improvement" to the edit button.
