I am all for the US gaining this land. Perhaps it looks bad now, but years from now it will seem like a great thing.

Thoughts?

I like Trumps thought process. We don't tell others they can't take land in Ukraine, taiwan, etc...and others can't tell us to not take Greenland, Panama, etc.

The net positive of the 2nd Trump admin will be acquiring Greenland. At least that is what I hope, rather than some "at least we didn't become a dictatorship" type doom and gloom mumbo jumbo that the left tried to win 2024 with.

Maybe you don't. That seems like a distinct possibility honestly.

The US could have easily had all of North America including Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and Cuba if it played certain events differently in history. Imagine how much cheaper it would be to defend the border between Panama and Colombia. In fact, people already mostly don't cross it because of the DariƩn Gap.

Hey, if you are more powerful and you want something, just take it. Russia and China agree.

If we take over Greenland, should we rename it? If we rename it, what are some good options?

I wouldn't put it past Trump to put his name in it somehow. Trumpland, Trump Island, etc.

This is the worst outcome of Trumps policies

If we buy it, I'm less bothered, although of course it would be a bit of a strong-armed deal. It would be good to have it. Although I'm sure we'd pretty much rape it.

What is a fair cost?

We got louisana purchase for 15 million or like 360 million in today dollars. I'd say greenland has got to be worth at least like 600 billion now, which in the future will be like 20 trillion

Maybe that's why he wants to increase the military budget by 50%. Points to Greenland valued at $500 billion (per year).
