Forget the debate, why would the US want Greenland?

[braalian]

There are many reasons why America would want to purchase it and many reasons Greenland would take the cash

Do you even know that Greenland is part of Denmark?

Yes. As.part of their kingdom. It is not as if that land was indigineous as part of their home and ancestral place of birth

It’s been a possession of Denmark long before the United States or Canada existed

By your logic, all of North America could be handed back to Native Americans tomorrow

The citizens of Greenland have wanted independence for years. So in effect, Greenland is holding them hostage.and against their citizens will, it isnt just America. They have a right to self determination, even Denmark said this. I listen to interviews of some "citizens" there by European media and it is funny as hell to hear a guy from Greenland with a Dutch accent tell the camera "we dont want to be a part of America" lol.

Greenland’s high standard of living is tied almost 100% to their status as a Danish territory.

They’ve demanded greater local autonomy (and gotten it).

Most Greenlanders (based on polls) want eventual total independence, but not if it means a decrease in living standards.

Also, when given a binary choice between remaining part of Denmark vs becoming part of the USA, the overwhelming majority choose to remain attached to Denmark
