There are 56000 some odd people in Greenland. They have the right under Danish law to gain independence through a referendum. That isn’t a lot of people to convince. It is a town election. They desperately want a decent airport in Thule. The current runway is 950 meters. Only small planes can land there. Want to bet our new embassy there has a couple of long runways so AF1 can land for the Thule Trump rally before the referendum. This way the Danes don’t get a dime and any money that would have been paid goes directly into Greenland. (Denmark subsidy is $12500 per head per year) We pumped 95 billion into Puerto Rico after the storm. 95 billion into Greenland would be $1.7 million per head. Just a thought.
you say that there are “56,000 odd people” in Greenland. I’m sure that not all of them are “odd,” but rather normal.
I believe that Thule, above the arctic circle has a civilian population of around 500 and about 150 Air Force personnel. The main population lives in the southern quarter of the island.
