Newsmax: Greenland Deal Is 'the New Louisiana Purchase'
Newsmax ^

Posted on 09/26/2026 9:53:35 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

Greenland could eventually capitalize on its natural resources. “Greenland could become the world’s richest people and the world’s richest island if they choose.” Asked to rate the national-security significance of the agreement on a scale of one to 10, Gray answered, “12.” Sands went considerably higher. “1,000,” she said. “It’s the new Louisiana Purchase. Because we get a continent, an island that’s one-third the size of the continental U.S. This is giant for our defense.”

Fly in a battalion from the 101st. or Delta Force, run up the flag and Greenland is ours.

What are the Euroweenies going to do, stomp their feet, send.. three ‘’peacekeepers’’?

Screw them. We’ve been pouring out blood and treasure for these jaded, Leftist ungrateful Euro twits for decades.

Time to take back what we’ve been paying for and defending for all these years.

You nailed it pretty good.

Looks to me like both sides won.
We get bases and a lot of control without annexing/conquering.
The Greenlanders will get a money infusion from the US simply from the US forces that will be stationed there. Support towns will grow up around military installations.
And the Greenlanders and Danes keep their sovereignty.

Deal of the Century.

It obviously has strategic value, and better us than China or Russia, but Newsmax like most of MAGA is so desperate for a “win” that they are overselling this.

The Louisiana Purchase added thousands of acres of fertile, useful and habitable land to the USA, including two very great river systems.

The Greenland deal—not so much!

It isn’t anything close to the Louisiana Purchase, or the Mexican American War results, or Texas, or the Alaska Purchase, but I see it as the biggest related thing since those, and a modern version of such.

You can say that again.

Why an unsecure connection here?

I’d settle for the minerals. Better yet-think of being married to the most beautiful woman who can’t cook, clean house, or carry a conversation. I’d settle for the sex.

**Native Hawaiians voted overwhelmingly for Statehood.**
That one’s easy. Make them feel like the democrats and tell them they’re victims. Give them all the power over the haloes. Last, restore the monarchy and appeal to their hearts.

**I’ve said to many in the past pay illegals in the currency of their country of origin and see how fast they leave.**

I’ve said to many in the past about restoring the Hawaii monarchy. Somalis-you’d have to eliminate money exchanges in their currency. That would work.

Canada is surrounded. I think the western provinces should be annexed, then all the left leaning Uke supporters and commies etc all be sent to the frontlines to die for what they believe in, then it should be smooth sailing with ample resources and skilled people.

"Greenland Deal Is 'the New Louisiana Purchase'"

Might be a good place to establish the Rura Penthe Alien Detention Center.

“Certainly, it was not wise to win our independence from England and then leave such a large neighbor to the north still beholden to the crown.”

We tried to take it, twice.

“Mexico needs to be a territory for a different reason - the crime there is infecting us.”

There was a lot of talk and movements to annex more of Mexico but the controversy over the expansion of slavery killed it.

“Might this expanded military access and influence, but no territory, be Step One in a long play?”

How the Soviet Union took the Baltic States. First defense agreements and bases, then full occupation, then annexation.
