So, he was serious the first time.We, the public, will need to be educated on the national security advantages of taking that step. I almost expected this sort of conversation would be concerning Israel or Canada, vs Greenland.

We need Greenland as it will be a paradise after the upcoming pole shift, making the Gulf Coast uninhabitable...

Relatively easily accessible rare earths.

Theres the tip of a thought trying to wriggle its way out of my mind like a nightcrawler but its too late...Russia, oil, owner ship of the arctic floor. Where is this thought going? Dont know, releasing it to a life of its own and going to bed.

,,, maybe the evolving polar shipping route is something that needs a US submarine base close by?

How much would it sell for? $3 trillion? $5 trillion? Would the inhabitants have a say in the matter or would it just be Denmark’s call?

How does the US persuade Denmark to part with Greenland? And how does the US pay for it?

Tourism.

Also, as a counterbalance to Russia’s hold on the north.

It is a bizarre thing to do... Greenland and Canada are not remotely interested in becoming client states of the USA and President Trump knows it.

The trolling, if that’s what it is, simply confirms the Russian narrative that the world needs a restored Russian expansionist empire and a Chinese empire to serve as a counterweight to American and EU imperialism.

The British, Spanish, French and Dutch empires are dead. The Russian Empire is dead.

The solution is less empire, not more empire. So, the disestablishment of the political project called the EU (which is controlled from Brussels by the Bilderbergers and WEF), ALONGSIDE the reversal of Federal Government from sthe Deep State in Washington, and the return of powers being concentrated in Muscovy to the states inside the Federation.

Trump’s trolling is off mission.

““For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.””

Did he really say this? If so he needs to stop with the crazy talk. If it’s a troll it’s not funny.

Look at this Google Earth image of the north pole.

We're used to the Mercator projection of earth, but a view from 90° latitude shows how dominant Greenland is when opposing Russia across the Arctic Ocean.

With Alaska at 150° West longitude and Greenland at 41° West longitude, that gives the United States a wide swatch of the Arctic Ocean to patrol.

Offer the citizens $1,000,000 each. At a population of $56,000 that’s $56 BILLION.

Greenland is a sovereign part of Denmark. Denmark cannot “sell” Greenland any more than the USA could sell Alaska today.
