I think that’s a joke based on Elon Musk’s ill-fated tweet about taking Tesla private at $420/share with “funding secured.”

It would seem to me that Canada would be a more logical fit. I doubt they can afford it tho.

It’s a no-brainer. With all the extra cash we have laying around and all... I mean it would be different if we were broke, or on a state of societal breakdown or something.../s

Did Trump make the offer to put the kibash on any possible Chinese deal?

If the people of Greenland were forced to choose between the US and China it’s hard to imagine them not picking the US.And I doubt that the Europeans would want the Chinese navy and air force as close to them as Greenland.

>Never get involved in a land war in Asia. We seem to forget that about every 10-20 years.

Um ... no. Its that we forget to wage a "no holds barred" war that gets us in trouble.

Half the crap posted on comes from less credible sources, including the daily blogpimps.

Although I've never been to the Philippines I've traveled elsewhere in SE Asia. Given what I've seen there combined with what I've heard about the Philippines I think that that would be a disaster...for us,at least.

Hmmm, national debt bigger than the economy. Tax revenue still only covers about half of federal spending.

Any project up there will be held up for decades by the eco nazis in court so no returns anytime soon.

Yeah, great idea.

But they must admit they need a better hotel to house all the Instagrammers and overtourism now that Greenland is a topic.
Greenland will be the new Iceland.

In 1868, a State Department employee wanted to follow up the acquisition of Alaska with the purchase of Greenland and Iceland. He thought that with the US on both sides of Canada, our northern neighbor would join the US. Or so the Internet says.
