We used to have a large USAF base at Thule Greenland (Dew Line stations) and the Army built an underground base there but had to abandon it because the ice is constantly moving (Project Iceworm and camp Century). There is a huge canyon in the center of Greenland under the icesheet.

Is Greenland considered a shithole country?



It's a beautiful country. Don't think they have any issues with crime and drugs.

I think it would be exciting. New American Frontier and it could have lots of untapped resources we don’t know about.

Not sure anyone has ever tried to do much research on its resources. It has some coastal towns that are mostly fishing oriented I believe but beyond that there’s not much

This is just forward thinking. When all that ice melts in 12 years it's gonna be some really nice property

It would put some American land right up close in Europe/Russia's grill, that's for sure.

Off topic, but looking at that map reminded me of the Gulf Stream's impact on Western Europe's climate. Amazing.

Nah, Puerto Rico needs to have the free and independent status it so richly deserves.

Greenland apparently responded that they are not for sale.

Make a deal with Denmark: we'll trade you for Puerto Rico straight up. Seems like a deal since they miss the Virgin Islands so much.

Well, why not? They're a lot better option for statehood than Puerto Rico.....

No way. You want two more Democrat senators? Iceland would quickly become a state and its population is new world order inbreds, they make Minnessota look conservative.

Can we just buy the entire Middle East today, save money on future wars by eliminating every single restaurant and food source and replace them with pulled pork bbq shacks.

Problem solved in about 7-15 days.
