How much rent do we pay for those bases?

What’s our national debt?

They need us more than we need them, and not just for defense from Russia

When we played “Risk” as kids, I always tried to put as many tokens as I could on Greenland. So many targets you could attack from there.

Us paying RENT. To protect THEM.

I don’t know. Something seems kind of bass-ackwards about that.

We could simply make a treaty with Denmark, exclusive of the Rest of NATO, for say 100 years, with healthy financial incentives Win,Win. US gets access to Greenland for defense and mining operations, and Denmark gets more money from a Defense Treaty and Mineral Rights.

This is complicated by many factors, not the least of which being Greenland has domain over it's natural resources wholly independent of Demark. Also, Greenland already has mineral agreements with a half dozen or more countries. Maybe the biggest hurdle involved are the people of Greenland themselves who — by and large —oppose the exploitation of it's natural resources, to the point of often voting for leaders who are staunchly anti-mining.

Ok - my quick google search says we don’t pay rent, per se, but we do pay to have our people there

how much does having us there contribute to their economy?

I really don’t know, but I’d be surprised if it was not substantial

If they’re anything like CONUS bases (and I’m pretty positive they are), we contribute to thriving local economies at the very least.

We need to move all firepower out of western Europe and into Poland, Hungary, Russia, Slovakia, Lithuania, etc and setup a wall and point the guns out at Western Europe and the Horde taking over.

Us leaving would decimate their economies and leave them at risk to the goat fricking muslims. I'm all for it.

Sounds like a fair deal to me. While we are making changes why not pull out of NATO.

We will leave nothing behind bitches.

I bet Poland will let us have bases if we want. So will the Saudis. Their threat is not what they think it is.

We will take Greenland peacefully with words and dollars. Not by invasion.

You can remove the "probably" because we are definitely paying for US bases in Europe.

That said, we're "probably" paying for their bases as well.
