If you melt all the ice, Texas is bigger than Alaska and Greenland.

Greenland is underneath so much glacial ice that much of it would literally be under water if it melted. Alaska? Not so much.

That comment made me think of a friend of mine that worked a particularly dirty job. He and his fellow workers would shower before leaving the job site. One day as he exited the shower a fellow worker checked out the size of my friend’s junk and asked who he was gonna please with that? He said “me”. 😛

COULD BE the price that’s paid for us staying in NATO.

“One way or the other, we’re going to get it,”

…I love when Trump says this. Because it happens

Not enough people to be a state. Make it a borough of Alaska. Yeah, I know it’s far away and not contiguous, but it’s been done before. Maine was part of Massachusetts for a time.

That’s lame. Why the hell should you tell them what to call themselves. They ain’t begging to be with us they’re voting to join us. Greenland, USA. It has a nice ring. Hey neighbor mow your ice. Don’t try to change them. Thank them and welcome them aboard. Actually if they vote to join in the fun, I kinda feel sorry for them. Seems like they oughta be able to do better. IMO

The best and most likely resolution will be for Greenland to enter into a compact of free association with the US along the lines of what we now have with various island countries and territories in the Pacific. These agreements took time and effort to negotiate but have proven to be successful, providing benefits and limitations that meet the needs of both sides.

Broadly, in return for defense bases and access to Greenland's mineral wealth, the US would provide some cash, better telecommunications and air service, education, access to medical care, and a right of travel to the US, with an agreement to respect and protect Greenland's autonomy and self-government in domestic matters. The rights the US would gain could even be shared with Denmark.

Moreover, contrary to what the news media and the Left claim, America and Americans are generally popular around the world. Pacific islanders have found education in the US and service in the US military to their liking and benefit. Greenlanders would almost certainly feel the same.

Do you know what you get if you cut Alaska in half?

TWO states bigger than Texas!

Fortunately, for Greenland, it isn’t going to melt.
