It's very strategically located.

It has many natural resources.

It only has 65000 residents so a) there aren't many to object and b) no influx of new, poor, uneducated Americans.

Expansion of America would actually be an enormously positive sign that America is not declining.

If "climate change is real," Greenland is set to become more desirable and liveable real estate over the next several decades.

China.

Greenland sits on top of a TON of minerals and rare earths.

Vikings, baw. We'll need to recruit some rough and tumble Greenlanders to fend them off. Maybe get Wessex to slow them down.

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

The only reason that we even bother with that shithole is it's strategic position. We can guard the Gulf of America and the Caribbean from it.

I didn’t even think about the oil angle. I was on the fence before but if it will help increase our oil supply I think I’m for it.

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.



4. Its not a novel idea. Harry Truman also wanted to own Greenland.

Jesus Christ. I don't think I can put up with all the pearl clutching and smelling salts for the next four years.

My guess = Russia, China or both could be up there dicking around and they need to be pushed back. Maybe this is along the lines of developing Space Force.

Because there’s trillions of dollars worth of minerals in their ground. Instead of trying to take over Ukraine that also has trillions of dollars in the ground, he can peacefully take the minerals out of the ground in Greenland

The US can get everything we want from Greenland without having to "buy it". The only reason I can think of that we would want to seize control of Greenland is if we were thinking about leaving NATO. That would probably jeopardize our privileged access for military purposes.

Maybe that’s where he plans to deport the 30 to 40 million illegal immigrants we have? Might be 4D chess.

No we cannot. Denmark will not let them access the vast majority of the mineral wealth they have. No mining, no drilling, no nothing.
