It would seem to make sense to me....When we bought Alaska everybody thought we were getting an icebox and that was before the earth changed to global warmings... It would make a nice summer vacation place for those seeking cooler climates..

With only 60k inhabitants in an area fifth the size of the USA.
Sounds like absolute genius to me if we can make a deal.
This is not the first time in our history we have toyed with idea or purchased large chunks of real estate.
The irony here manifest destiny was a policy embraced by the blue party being pursued today by a red president.
"Historians have emphasized that "manifest destiny" was a contested concept—Democrats endorsed the idea but many prominent Americans (such as Abraham Lincoln,[5] Ulysses S. Grant,[6] and most Whigs) rejected it.[7] Historian Daniel Walker Howe writes, "American imperialism did not represent an American consensus; it provoked bitter dissent within the national polity ... Whigs saw America's moral mission as one of democratic example rather than one of conquest."

That's simple pull it out of the Medicare for all pot. And when all else fails tax corporations more, half the moronic Americans will never realize they are paying it through increased prices passed to them.

Just print the money, right? "Put in on our tab"
Most americans wouldn't notice the price increase of everything because of a devalued dollar either
My understanding is President Eisenhower offered to buy it from Denmark in 1953 and was rejected.Aaron said:Nesikep said:What money are you going to buy it with?
Add it to the military budget. I see Greenland as being of greater strategic surveillance value to the US than monetary. Keep the Red Bears at bay.

Little Cow said:The fact is, this is an independent country and not for sale. In fact, it isn't owned by the Danes. Seeking to buy land to build a base for a strategic advantage is negotiated privately between governments and doesn't include private land or people. A public pronouncement saying that you wish to 'buy' another country is absolutely absurd. Insanity prevails.
