I find it so weird that so many people seem to find the idea of buying Greenland to be somehow outrageous.
It’s a horribly depressing island with like 50k people, the US could easily hand everyone a million bucks and a passport.
- jarfil 7y agoIt's kind of outrageous in the sense that the value of the resources that could be pulled out of it is many times higher than anything the US is willing to offer, and Denmark knows that.
- Arnt 7y agoThat's right, you could have said, "hey greenlanders, if you'll join the US we'll give each of you a million dollars and a passport". But that's not what you did and you're judged for what you actually did, not for what you hypothetically could.
