I get it, but the world doesn't run on hard power, it runs on soft power. The US could simply invade Greenland if it actually refuses to let them stay there, or if an adversary tries to take it over. That's why I'm so appalled. There is no such imminent threat which would force such a transaction to take place. Subtle deals like the one I was talking about won't fly as justifications to take action against the US by Russia/China, nor will it up tensions unlike this drama.
