I say YES. This is the next phase of Manifest Destiny. Along with Alaska, we need expansion in the Arctic and also to increase our reach into the Atlantic.

Give Denmark a fair market value offer. If they refuse, then use economic pressure on the European Union. France and Germany (the economic backbone of the EU) will have no choice but to pressure Denmark into selling Greenland to us for a steal.

Yes. Perfect place to start a breakaway republic when things inevitably go to shite here.

To be honest, it's not a bad idea. Putting a major base there would be great idea.. Pull out of parts of Europe

Who knows what mineral wealth is under that ice pack? $$$$$

Not only that, but they only have 50,000 people. Wouldn't even make a blip, and within a few years American immigration would render native rights largely meaningless, as we'd replace them.

The great Inuit replacement.

What are the resources ? Would it be a global advantage in this ? Would it be another Puerto Rico with cost out weighing benefits ?

Yeah! Change the name to New Georgia, make it a prison colony, then send all convicted of violent crime to New Georgia.

We should just take it over. Plant the flag. Displace some seals.

China has no problem building islands in highly controversial sea lanes. Maybe we could get them to build the USA an island somewhere in the Atlantic near the Mediterranean or in the Mediterranean for that matter.

Yes
We get rare earth minerals, which is good

China doesn’t get them, which is essential to the survival of humankind
