I do not think the idea of buying Greenland is it all stupid but we no longer live in the age of colonization, it is not necessary to own or even colonize a land to extract its resources, China is proving that all around the world today.

“...a rare rock-type known as lujavrite.”

Misspelled leverite?

Yes it does when you recognize that any project will be tied up in court for over a decade thanks to the eco nazis.

Repeal some eco nazi laws and regulations, get our financial house in order, then buy it.

If we don’t buy Greenland, then either China, Russia or the Saudis will.

I love the lack of History which the Libs show every day. They either do not know or conveniently forgot The Louisiana purchase, purchase of Alaska and the Gadsden purchase.

President Trump wants to buy Greenland because he can.

I mean literally, he can.

In typical act of sanctimonious EU virtue signaling, the Danes have given official title to Greenland to its 56,000 residents but The Danes have veto power over all decisions and Greenland is a defacto protectorate.

90 percent of Greenland’s population overwhelmingly and enthusiastically favors acquisition by the United States

This is no pipe dream - it could seriously and amazingly become a reality and the Danish government is seriously worried as Greenland costs them a lot of money and, like all EU socialist governments, they are strapped for cash.

And in today’s world where the concept of nationalism has been vilified and the signature feature of all truly virtuous people is acting against your own self interest ( the greater the act of going against your self interest, the greater your virtue) a majority of the PC indoctrinated Danes are surprisingly unconcerned about getting rid of Greenland if it means getting enough money so they can still retire at the age of 50.

593 million pounds of uranium

Is that to make up for what Hillary gave away to the Russians?

As stupid as Secretary Seward buying Alaska from Russia in 1867.

He can divide it into 40 acre plots, buy a few thousand lawn tractors and tell the Dems that here is the “40 acres and a mule” for any of their supporters who want reparations for slavery.
