I think Trump is trolling when he says he wants the US to buy Greenland, but let’s think this through. What would be the actual motive? According to this article:
TLDR: Russia has a stronger military presence in the Arctic than NATO, Russia and China are doing military exercises in the Arctic, and they’re already sabotaging European infrastructure there. The Arctic is also a huge blind spot for NATO, because of their lack of military-surveillance in the region.
And in this article, Denmark admits that it has neglected Greenland’s security for years.
If Denmark isn’t doing a good job keeping Russia and China out of the Arctic, someone has to do something.
If this isn’t all a joke, the Pentagon is probably directing Trump here.
“The Arctic is currently a dark area on the map,” said Ketil Olsen, formerly Norway’s military representative in NATO and the European Union, who heads Andoeya Space, a Norwegian state-controlled company that tests new military and surveillance technologies and launches research rockets.
“It’s so vast and with few civilian surveillance resources.”
The chief of the U.S. Northern Command, General Glen VanHerck, told a Senate hearing in March the United States needed better Arctic “domain awareness” to detect and address Russian and Chinese capabilities to launch advanced missiles and destroy communications infrastructure.
In a Pentagon strategy document released in October, the United States committed to improving early warning and surveillance systems in the Arctic, but the pace of the planned modernisation is unclear.
TLDR: Russia has a stronger military presence in the Arctic than NATO, Russia and China are doing military exercises in the Arctic, and they’re already sabotaging European infrastructure there. The Arctic is also a huge blind spot for NATO, because of their lack of military-surveillance in the region.
And in this article, Denmark admits that it has neglected Greenland’s security for years.
"I think that the Americans are quite concerned that Russia could actually launch or initiate a major attack against the United States, and that could be done from the Russian side," Jens Wenzel at Nordic Defense Analysis told Reuters.
"There is no real monitoring of the airspace in Greenland. It is largely a free-for-all," he said.

There’s that old saying, “why buy the cow when you get the milk for free.” I don’t think Trump (or rather, the Pentagon) actually care about buying Greenland, they just want to increase the US military presence there because China and Russia are already trying to control the Arctic and are already destroying European infrastructure there. The US establishment, through Trump, is getting what they want — the threats of military invasion or buying it from Denmark we’re just a ploy to get Denmark in line to make a deal, and that deal is all about getting more US military bases on Greenland. Denmark is more than likely on board with this, because they know they can’t stand up to the communists alone, so this is all a big nothing burger. It’s a net positive, unless you think China and Russia should have more control of the Arctic, because you’re one of those Z-Rightoids.

The USA cannot buy Greenland if it’s not for sale, and it can’t go to war against another NATO country. So Trumps threats were all theater to get people riled up, but the issue of security in the Arctic — keeping Russia and China out and detecting long range missiles — is a very serious matter for both the US, Canada and Europe. The US military is the only country that can keep the communists out of the Arctic.

Upon further thought. Ukrainians are NOT everywhere, they are here and happy to be given that opportunity but they are few and far between. Indians on the other had are everywhere, in the most remote locations in Northern Manitoba and foothills of lower Quebec. Everywhere, and anywhere. Indians being a 3rd world people with no manners and high crime, along with their really hideous asthetic are an assault on people's eyes. Ukrainians are not. If Ukrainians shared the same predicament, even with their small numbers they would become a villain.

The current prime minister of Greenland (and I assume many Inuits in Greenland) want their country to become independent from Denmark, and they are taking steps to make it happen.
Obviously the US isn’t going to buy Denmark, but the point here is that even without any US influence, many of the Inuits of Greenland (the majority of Greenland’s population) are actively engaged in gaining their independence and thus not being a part of Denmark.
So even if the US were to buy it or militarily invade it (which can’t possibly happen) Greenland is already set to separate from Europe.
Denmark should have settled more Danish people there, but since they didn’t, Greenland correctly doesn’t see itself as Danish or European. It’s an Inuit country.

The USA and Trump could disappear into thin air, and Greenland would still inevitably cease to be a part of Denmark, because demographics are destiny.

This dovetails into another subject: Why I don’t consider certain parts of the USA to be America anymore. Just like how Greenland isn’t Danish, demographics are destiny in every country, every county, and every city. For example, LA and most of California are no longer America — not demographically American — which is why I don’t give a damn if LA burns to the ground. I hope San Francisco is next!
