GDP is one factor, sheer land mass is another, especially given that the habitable land grows with each year of receding glaciers. and in fact newly habitable but not yet lived on land is rife for mining. no one's mined it, no one's there, etc.

That said I would like to see native Greenlanders getting the spoils of this plunder.

One aspect no one has really touched on in this thread is that the US govt buying Greenland doesn't guarantee profits for the US govt. It allows more profits to go to mining and fishing companies while we only get the taxes and perhaps some licensing fees. It's a long game that relies on global warming, feels icky to me.

in business investment into existing thriving companies isn't that fruitful, its a dividend strategy. Greenland is a penny stock.

Greenland would pay down a bit of the debt owed to US for defense spending done on behalf of our awesome UN EU allies.

Ever since 1945, every American dollar spent on military has caused more harm than good. The EU owes nothing to the USA.

u can say you don't owe us but the checks keep clearing when we cash them. omm nom nom nom

US is no longer US

im curious if you could explain the motivation behind most of your posts that consist of "US is bad" with a pic.

are you trying to make people upset? if so you're not doing a very good job, most of your posts make no sense in the context of what you quote.

The pic is perfectly reliable: US clown-in-chief buying shit. Next step is to get good doing theories buying stuff like a bad kid dragged in a supermarket.

what does that pic have to do with NATO tho (what i was talking about)?

you just quote people's posts that have nothing to do with what they're talking about.

I gotta say, as much as I respect Saucisson for being a fellow Euroturd with a level-headed worldview, I have the impression that he suffers from this "win arguments by randomly insulting my opponents" mentality.

Then again, maybe I'm being a hypocrite. If there weren't so many debates about subjects in which I consider America's approach to be medieval, perhaps I wouldn't be visiting PaRD. I can tell you that Belgium's politics are boring as fuck in comparison.

There's assholes paying taxes for the whole shitload of bases in EU instead of getting healthcare and the whole suit around it. You should respect them.
Regarding Belgium.... There's euro, and there's the turds. Ya know ?
"nom nom nom" so good.
