why doesn't denmark sell us greenland? i don't see why they even need the island. what benefits do they get out of it? it's not some tropical island, it's a frozen wasteland with a population that is a tax burden on denmark. militarily it makes no sense since eu countries barely have an army. look at the benefits of selling greenland for both sides.  us: > can further project its power and protect arctic trade routes > inhabitants are now forced to be economically valuable because of fewer welfare programs, more free market economics will give them the opportunity for this switch denmark: > gets rid of a tax burden and territory it can't defend militarily > better and closer relations with the us because of a successful trade deal
