The article says that we also considered buying Iceland once. Let’s go for broke.

Almost anywhere would be more productive than Puerto Rico.

Actually, Greenland is potentially a rich rich place. We should colonize it ourselves and call it Freepland.

It would become a MASSIVE capital idea IF “climate change” whatever it becomes is not (as we expect it will not be) a massive global catastrophe, even if Greenland becomes much more warmer on average than today. The possibilities could be huge.
But, what will they do to get the money? Sell a special edition of U.S. bonds with the dividend rate variable to the economic possibilities with Greenland? Would the bonds then be paid off out of royalty revenue on federal leases of land for mineral and fossil fuel exploration, development and production in Greeland.
And if all that is true and possible, then would Denmark even want to sell Greeland?
I think the idea is on one level great, and on another level impractical.

Nice idea but since US debt is larger than the economy forget about it.

Just gift Greenland to the liberals and then forcibly ship them all up there.

Straight trade for Puerto Rico, and toss in Epstein Island as a bonus?

It would be like Seward's Folly when the U.S. bought Alaska from Russia. The media would find a billion ways to find fault in this. However, like Seward, Trump would be found to be correct in the future. If the U.S. bought Greenland, turned our companies loose to extract mineral wealth and charged a reasonable royalty on extraction dedicated to paying down the national debt, the national debt could be eliminated over time.
We better hurry before global warming melts it down to a size that even Portugal could buy it. (Joke, lame but a joke nonetheless).

However, like Seward, Trump would be found to be correct in the future. And how. Imagine the Soviets on our doorstep during the Cold War.

I love a guy who can think big and out of the proverbial box.
And I’d love to see the cost-benefit analysis his staff comes up with.
