Why are we trying to buy Greenland?

[naffigator]

Little known geographical fact: Greenland is considered to be part of North America, not part of Europe.

And politically it is Danish, therefore European.

88% of the population are native Inuits.

Inuit is eskimo for "white dude"

You might find it inconceivable, but we should buy Greenland, take all of its unemployed giants and form some sort of brute squad.

I am the brute squad.

 

[OSUinTX]

I am the brute squad.

Inconcievable

 

[GodsPeace]

I am the brute squad.

Anybody want a peanut?

 

[sc5mu93]

Anybody want a peanut?

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

 

[GodsPeace]

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

"Liar!"

Why? 25% of global supply of Rare Earth minerals

 

[jobob85]

If you buy them, you don’t have a trade imbalance anymore.

 

[Jostate]

They don't make land anymore.

Does it matter that is is not for sale?

Yes, I don't think we will take it by force from Denmark

 

[andylicious]

Yes, I don't think we will take it by force from Denmark

We could take it as payment for their unpaid NATO bill

Always something... It's just an old quote. I suspect those islands don't quite cover the same area as Greenland.

To your point there are man made islands too.

After of number of bankruptcies, maybe Trump has some experience in that field.

A little reality on the situation. It is funny but there is an actual national defense reason for looking at it.

Trump can simply borrow the Jimmy Carter and BHO argument that we are going to cut waste and fraud and viola, $700 million in savings per year which will exactly offset the amount Denmark is losing.
