There is Absolutely Nothing Silly or Unrealistic About the US Acquiring Greenland

  1. The Inuits are not indigenous to Greenland.
  2. 60,000 people on a block of ice cannot be a country. That's the notion that is silly. They are completely and totally reliant on Denmark and they will continue to be completely and totally reliant on some external power in the future. The only question is what power.
  3. Russia and China are trying to get their hooks into Greenland. Denmark is not capable of stopping them.
  4. Denmark is not capable of developing the vast resources of Greenland.
  5. Thus, the control of Greenland becomes vitally important to the United States of America.
  6. The 60,000 residents of Greenland would benefit from American control almost immeasurably. They could be given a percentage of all recourses developed, just like in Alaska. They could receive American citizenship, which would allow the possibility for immediate, unfettered migration to the US--a dream of billions across the globe. The US is capable of providing economic development to the island that Denmark is not nearly capable of. Sure, there's the idealistic dream of independence. But through Door Number Two is an actual better life for the people--a much better life.
