> usa is a highly valued ally to denmark. irrelevant, they can still be an ally and denmark can still own greenland. friends don't demand friends give up chunks of their territory. > we are a small country and we can't contribute that much to the alliance. but we can contribute by selling greenland, and that's something. if they didn't contribute anything then they wouldn't be in the alliance. in reality it suits america for denmark to be in nato and purchasing its arms supplies, as it brings money back into the country, and keeps american arms manufacturers in business. > denmark doesn't have the capability to mine or extract the oil. selling to someone who can makes sense, as does not selling the rights to china. so what? companies will be falling over themselves to come and extract it for you, and you can tax them for the access. why the fuck give it to america for them to do the same thing, and then charge you for the oil they sell back to you on top?  > whether the people of greenland would want to join the u.s. is not a real hurdle. there are 56,000 people living there. for about $5 billion you could give each of them $100k, and they would agree. sure, you could bribe everyone and they would agree, not telling us anything new there.  > there are vast metal deposits underground there and possibly 50 billion barrels of oil equivalent. and americans are the rightful owners of this. why are "americans the rightful owners"? he doesnt say. its bullshit, its danish land so its their minerals. > greenland has been under control of the danish crown since before usa was even a country. (officially since 1814.) we have taken care of greenland, and about 30% of its gdp is block grants from denmark. also noteworthy, our norse ancestors inhabited southern greenland before the ancestors of the inuit (thule culture) sounds to me like greenland belongs to denmark more then.  what a massive sellout cuck traitor to his own country. disgusting.
