He could easily make DC and PR the 53rd and 54th state - but no - because of oil lobbyists in Washington- he must comply with his oil baron friends!

Heck, even Barbados or Aruba makes more sense than Greenland!

Do we really want to take on Greenlands debt? Why not just drill for oil in Alaska?

Greenland is about natural resources and it's location.

Better suggestion: give Puerto Rico away to the first sucker that will take that shite hole.

What's with Biden's weird obsession with smelling and touching little kids.

1) Just on the other side of the Arctic Ocean off of Greenland's northern coast is what country?

2) Greenland gives legal claims to Arctic waters and the minerals underneath those waters.

3) Plus, Greenland provides a naval port and air base in the North Atlantic.

Yep- maybe the biggest source of potential untapped mineral deposits in the world!
The fact that Russia is concerned should tip off people as to its strategic importance.

We are paying 100% to protect it. We should own it. He looks at it like a real estate deal. Why are we paying all costs but not getting any financial return.

DC, American Samoa, Guam, N. Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands are all part of the USA, yet none are states. Whats your obsession with dumb takes?

Do you really not understand that Trump is sending a message to our adversaries that we consider Greenland to be vital to our national and arctic security? In other words, keep out.

Greenland is about distraction. While everyone focuses on the foolishness, there is something else Trump or his people don't want most of us to focus on.

Because it’s more than just oil that we’re after. Greenland has huge military importance for us. Hell, America actually conquered Greenland once when the Nazis took over Denmark and we couldn’t have the Nazis launching flights from Greenland to bomb New York, Montreal, or DC. We made an error giving it back to the Danes after WWII.

It’s easier to collude with Russia from Greenland.
