“…and the king of that country is the fierce Greenland bear “
Three people with knowledge of the matter told The Washington Post that the White House took steps in recent weeks to attempt to determine the cost of Greenland becoming a U.S. territory. That includes how much the government would have to spend to provide services for its roughly 58,000 residents and how much it would cost to maintain should it be acquired, according to the report.Set aside Congressional approval of this nonsense (do we really need a larger, colder Puerto Rico? I mean, I assume we’re never giving Greenland two senators and a representative), I thought we were trying to cut spending? Is that only for Americans? Greenlanders we can give more too (and yes, Puerto Rico has entered the chat).💬 Let’s sell that one when Elon’s statutory 130 days has expired. Should make people not miss him, anyway.
Additionally, the Trump administration is looking into any potential revenue that could be earned from the massive island's natural resources.
Under consideration is having the U.S. try to offer Greenlandic people a better deal than Denmark, which subsidizes services at about $600 million a year, according to the report.
“This is a lot higher than that,” one official familiar with the plans told the Post. “The point is, ‘We’ll pay you more than Denmark does.’”
And are we going to socialize the natural resources of Greenland to balance the federal costs? Or do we just make it the new banana republic and get a taste for Uncle Sam in taxes?
I really don’t think these guys are very bright at all.
“And there’ll be no temptation to tarry long there/With our ship bumpers full, we will homeward repair.” (“Farewell to Tarwaithe,” sung by Judy Collins) I think of that song, and consider that the people behind Project 2025 want to return America to the 1950’s, with a 19th century government. They won’t get what they want, but they’ll do a lot of damage trying.
But really, they aren’t very bright; at all.
