Okay. That one made me laugh as hard as the elton john meme. Thanks
How do they know their response if they haven’t heard the price?
The importance is to keep it out of Chinese hands for their purchase of land and minerals. The people there have zero ability to defend their land from anyone. Latvia could sail in and take over if it wanted to.
How about if the price translated to $300,000 per inhabitant? That would translate to about $18 Billion. That’s a rounding error at the Pentagon. But the minerals are probably worth more than that, and the benefits for our military are very valuable, too. The inhabitants could become like Puerto Rico, meaning they can travel to the US and become citizens automatically, which is a great value to them and their families. We’re not talking about buying the assets that they already own, just becoming their new sovereign. They can keep their hovels if they want their hovels.
When they think about it, they may just come around.
[58th state, cause Obama has declared that we currently have 57 states.]
Actually 61st state.
Obama said he had been to 57 states
He was not allowed to go to Alaska or Hawaii
And he had 1 left to go.
57 + 2 + 1 = 60 states for Barack

You can hear the people laughing when he said he’d been to 57 states. And yet they still voted for him.
Where is this coming from? I’ve never heard about any serious interest by Greenland to join the US or vice versa. Is this another media hit on Trump?
Its not up to Greenland, Denmark owns them and they havent said no. Let Putin park a couple of warships off the coast & see how quick they change their tune. Im not sure we want to take in Greenland though, most of the population is Inuit and not known for industriousness. Wed probably end up with another welfare suckhole like Puerto Rico.
Where are the monkeys rubbing up and down the sides?
They got ahold of a guy who is an EX-leader who was just giving his jaded, anti-Trump opinion that it is not for sale. It is worthy of discussion.
Just over 50,000 residents. So $5B could pay them each $100K. Okay, maybe $50K for each would be enough, with $7.5B going to Denmark for a total $10B outlay.
A bargain.
If we weren’t protecting them they wouldn’t be there.
They called Alaska “Seward’s Folly”. We’ll call this one “Trump’s Triumph”...
RE: Wed probably end up with another welfare suckhole like Puerto Rico.
Denmark is in fact, bleeding cash on this piece of real estate and Trump knows this.
Could you say what the 51st state is?
Are you supporting yourself, Greenland? Then, you’re for sale.
Look, you idiots at CNN (fist of all, I think CNN ‘made up’ this story) EVERYTHING has a sales price .. its a matter of meeting that price OR some other set of conditions or trades ...
Either your Signature or your Brains will be on that Contract.
They should say they sell it for 5 bucks or something to anyone who wants it.
Send In your 5 bucks, get a bit of dirt in the mail.
Eh.....theyre bargaining for more money.
Offer to let them trade places with Puerto Ricans.
That's ok. We don't want 'em anyway.
It is not for Greenland to say. It is owned by Denmark.
