Every American should support Trump's goal of incorporating Greenland into the U.S. It should absolutely be a Bi-partisan opinion held by every voter.
Start of Opinion Post:
To start off, I think Trump's making both an immoral (buying people) and politically strategical mistake by going to/nagging Denmark for a land purchase instead of trying to convince 37K Greenlandic adults to vote for a Pro-America party in the upcoming Greenlandic elections in 95 days. However, just because Trump's methods are impropper doesn't mean that the GOAL of an American Greenland is bad.
He's getting made fun of by News Outlets for having an "odd" (MSNBC) obsession with Greenland. Which is just freaking stupid for a NEWS outlet to say because they shouldn't be THAT misinformed about geopolitics when its their job. (Truman, a Democrat POTUS, offered to buy Greenland)
There's no reason for ANY American (who likes America and wants it to succeed) to NOT want Greenland to be under the American Banner. [The central point of the post]
Here are all the Benefits of Greenland to America, by category.
Arctic
- USA gets Greenland's Arctic Resource Claims at the North Pole.
- Full control of the entrance and exit of the warming Southwest passage shipping route (30% faster than Suez for EU-ASIA travel).
- The Arctic holds 13% of World's undiscovered oil.
- The Arctic holds 30% of untapped Natural Gasses.
Trade Leverage
Greenland has Rare Natural Deep-Water Ports (allows huge ships for easier economic activity)
Greenland is situated in the most accessible spot in the world for commercial activity. (Used to not matter with a Frozen Arctic, now it matters)
More American leverage in a potential EU-USA trade deal
More American leverage in the USMCA trade deal re-negotiations in June 2026.
Oil/Minerals (While I am personally Pro-Environment, My god)
- 6th Largest Uranium deposit in the world.
- 40-80 Billion Barrels of Oil on the coast. (Difficult to extract tho)
- 4th in the world with Rare Earth Reserve Deposits, which means MORE THAN ALL of Russia's.
- Completely ends China's 95% Monopoly on refining Rare Earth Minerals.
Political Implications
- Secures America's Northern National Security for Generations (USA has been trying to get Greenland for Centuries so its a legacy equivalent to Rome getting Parthia or Germania)
- Completely Boxes-In Canada territorially which ensures their increasing subservience/dependence on the USA. (Seward's Plan is also set in motion by this)
Miscellaneous/Non-Categorical
- Has 7% of World's Freshwater Reserves
- Large renewable Hydro potential that could power ALL OF France/U.K combined. (Potentially MASSIVE exporter of energy)
- Greenland's rare glacier sand makes for Unlimited Free Concrete material for America's buildings.
- Greenland's glacial rock dust makes for Unlimited Free Soil fertilizer (if you don't understand, its sorta how the Sahara Desert Dust fertilizes the Amazon Rainforrest)
