Basically it would help with power projection into the arctic. They also have a lot of natural resources. We already have installations there that are a part of our missile defense shield.

If the US buys Greenland, what should we do with it?

Use it to shoot missiles at our arch enemies Canada and Sweden (Free A$AP)

I’ve never thought about this. You can just buy and sell huge territories in 2019? Can we sell Idaho to somebody?

Maybe Greenland will buy it.

Maybe a 1 for 1 trade?

Would Idahoans have to learn Danish?

Would a 1039 exchange be a good strategy here?

I’m not sure. Are they substantially similar? One is mostly barren, useless land that has little value

Make it a territory. Use it for its resources and strategic military location. Build some nice resort towns

Greenland is autonomous. Are you suggesting the US buy it and force

Mister P

8/15/19 7:26pm

Yes. That is what I’m suggesting. The current people can keep their towns which they don’t own anyways and in exchange

You assume they'd feel being American is much better than their

Mister P

Yes. If not, they can obviously move to Denmark if they’d like. I’m guessing most of the 55k would chose to stay

That sounds like a PR nightmare. Buy their homes and kick them out.

Mister P

Uh what. I already said they could keep their homes and that this is assuming a favorable deal would be worked out for

It's a Danish Territory. The question was what should we do with it if we buy

There is no private land in Greenland.

Spocougar

For what purpose? Just because?

Mister P

That is an excellent question. Which is why I asked.

Make it actually green

That's a lot of paint

Only reason that makes sense is to exploit it's natural resources. So I would

If it is strictly to exploit it for financial/economic gain, I would support it

Make BYU-Greenland

Zedhead

Too similar to BYU-Rexburg.

With global warming Greenland figures to be prime real estate in like 4 years. Seems like a good investment to me.

How does this work exactly?

I don't think the US could afford Greenland.

Maybe a way to be closer to & prohibit Russian expansion & usurpation in the arc

We already have a military base in Greenland, and Denmark is a NATO ally, so we
