I believe the Danes offered to sell us Greenland after WWII. We declined because we didn't wish to be seen as "imperialistic."

Stupid virtue signaling even then.

As they develop their resources, Greenland’s people could become among the wealthiest in the world. With only 56,000 people and unknown amounts of mineral wealth under all that ice, they could be sitting on a gold mine, figuratively speaking. The per capita wealth could be a staggering amount.

Among other rare-earth metals, the Kvanefjeld project aims to tap into deposits of neodymium, an element used to create miniature permanent magnets that have become vital to a number of high-tech industries. The Australian company that runs the mine also wants to extract uranium. The project's largest investor is a Chinese company.

Fifteen years ago China was attempting to corner the rare earth market - they were in Africa too... all the while we were debating the merits of 50 genders... Now we've got that idiot Biden talking up electric cars that will make us dependent on China for cell phone materials AND electric car batteries. I mean this is all so stupid.

“The Inuit Ataqatigiit party won 37% “

How many CCP supplied dollars does it take to sway a Greenland election? (The CCP enjoys China’s advantage in rare earth metals, and would obviously not like to see it dissipated, by Greenland or anywhere else.)

Their land... Their decision...
IMHO, they made the best decision...
Just look around the world... Why would they want to participate in all those problems?

And just where do all the watermelons expect to conjure the rare earth minerals for their green new world order?
