Even Fetterman sees it as an idea that has merit.
Can you imagine if he pulls this off? It will be Hugh!
Of course the liberals will IMMEDIATELY move to shut the whole,nation off from deposite and resource exploration- but for 4 years, it will be an economic boon to the nation. One of the smartest I vestments in a long long while. Hopefully he can get the Panama Canal back too! We had friends who worked and lived there on the canal. The wife ended up with denge fever- only person I’ve ever met to have that.
He’s no dummy- he’s just partially blinded by liberalism- he knows a great deal when he sees it- he I guess is actuslly a pretty smart dude with degrees fro prestigious college? I didn’t have much use for h8mm at first, and felt he was near brain deficient after the stroke, but more and more I am “hopefull” (cautiously so) that he will be a thorn in the liberals side, and be reasonable enough to at least work with republicans at times
The fact the Europe is upset by this idea—means it really would be a good deal for us!
Imagine if after we purchase it, we immediately start shipping in South Americans, Africans and Middle Easterners.
I wonder if people would feel bad for the native population of Greenland when the newcomers start to change the culture and quality of life in Greenland?
I wonder if those same people would reflect on the current situation in America and apply the same standard?
Actually, I’m certain they wouldn’t.
OAN network actually sent reporters there to talk to local residents. Most of them expressed the idea that meaningful jobs and royalties from resource development beat occasional government handouts from Denmark.
That is exactly why the Greenlanders shouldn’t vote to join the US.
Illegal aliens and even America’s own predator class must be salivating at another high-trust society being ripe for the picking if they got free reign to move there without immigration restrictions.
Greenland is a monoculture. 93% of it’s population are PRACTICING Christians. There is virtually no crime. There is no LGBTQIA+ culture.
If they become part of America, within one generation they will be become multicultural, crime will double, church attendance will crumble and gay guys in dresses will read books to their children.
Yep, I hate to say it but just as Muslim countries are not fit to have free access to western countries because they are culturally incompatible and low trust.
We as westerners are not fit to have free access to high-trust countries like South Korea, Japan, Greenland, Iceland etc.
We would ruin them because we are culturally degenerate compared to them same as the Muslim world is to us.
This whole "declined to rule out the military" line has got to stop. That was a "gotcha" question asked by reporters to put military aggression into President Trump's mouth knowing that he has a (rightly so) long-standing history of not commenting on military strategies.
Does anybody seriously think that the United States wouldn't have eventually taken Louisiana if Jefferson hadn't negotiated the purchase? Were there reporters asking Jefferson if he would rule out the use of force to take Louisiana just so they could smear him as a warmonger in the press?

It’s almost as if the millennia old tradition of having “nations” as opposed to “states” was the default, most biblically sound and most appropriate way to organize into groups.
But what do I know...?
Serious question, who gets paid? Denmark? The inhabitants of Greenland? A Trillion dollars between 54,000 residents makes for that many new $18+ billionaires. Talk about a windfall and fortunate place of birth!
Yes, Denmark. You pay the Dane geld you never get rid of the Dane............
Yes, I read the article. I hardly think $50 billion in these days will come close to the price.
I figure Denmark somehow gets paid a lot not to raise a ruckus and the people of Greenland get some more than token payment to make it / let it happen.
They should set up a fund like Alaska has. They would all benefit.............
Trump never threatened to use force.
I hate the media word games.
Why spend the money on an outright purchase. Rather, help the citizens of Greenland declare independence from Denmark. Then incentivize the independent Greenland to become a U.S. territory.
That’s what we did in Panama!............
