Nobody in their right mind would want to live there. There are people volunteering to go to Mars. I think Greenland would attract a lot. Even more, if Trump offered 40 acres and a snowplow.

Trump should see if the Danes would trade California for Greenland. Now theres a good deal. We could throw in CNN and the drive by media too.

Yea, but its GREEN-land.
Why all the Ice?
To: sauropod
Maybe. But 1967 was well past the time when Truman was in charge...

It is ironic that Greenland is ice and rock and Iceland is quite green with trees and vegetation.

The idea of buying Alaska from Russia was called a "folly" in the 19th century ("Seward's Folly)... a vast empty wasteland filled with snow and nothing else... crazy!!!
Trump is getting the same treatment. History repeats.
I wonder if the Lefties are saying that we should give Alaska back. Canada would enjoy having Russia as a new bordering neighbor?

We can forestall global warming by 1,000 years. Just mine the ice and dump it in the parts of the ocean that are warming (or at least pack it around the various temperature monitoring stations of the world)
Put THAT in your hockey stick, Michael Mann, and sit on it.

Theres a reason the population is only 56K people. Nobody in their right mind would want to live there.We don't need lebensraum. We are looking into the possibility for the resources, not the acreage.

Buy Greenland. Build WWII type barracks as housing for temporary holding areas. Move illegal aliens who are caught directly to those holding areas. Supply them with left over C-rations and see how quick others will want to come to the US. The length of their stay is however long it takes them to request their home country to pay their way back to it.

Any idiot can see that Greenland is part of Canada.
I had never heard of Truman offering Point Barrow to Denmark. That's as crazy as the U.S. trying to buy Hong Kong or Malta.

Agreed. Trump is softening up the public. Hell let this simmer for a six months to a year, and then raise the issue again... after that he election maybe. 👍

There is a lot more to Greenland than ice. There is also
mining to be done. I am certain that both President Trump and the Chinese are aware of this.
