  • Let's Buy Greenland!

    I mean, assuming Denmark and Greenland are willing to sell - it sounds like a tremendous opportunity.

    Looks like they aren't interested - yet...

      Can't we just take it like the old days?

        So, refresh my memory - Greenland is the one that's mostly ice covered, and Iceland is the one that's mostly green?

        Or, in these days of global warming, are they both the same?
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Yes.

            Global warming is actually very relevant here. The Russian government seems to maintain the position that, regardless of whether it is manmade or not, global warming may be a net benefit to its own economy due to its unique geopolitical situation: https://bellona.org/news/arctic/2019...ge-bring-it-on It stands to reason that if that holds true, Greenland would benefit similarly.

                  Fair point - but unlike social programs, this has the potential to increase wealth.

                      I think Trump wants to sell the USA to Greenland (Denmark) as part of a Trump tower Russian money laundering scheme.

                          He's serious in that he's looking into it, but I don't think any serious offers have been made.
                          Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                          But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man

                              Especially if they can take California "to go".
