    They want Greenland because they know climate change is happening fast and need a safe haven until they’re ready for Mars.

    /s … maybe.

      Maybe? Maybe they will try yeah. Yay. There’s a good chance that the Gulf Stream will shift or stop and temperatures on Greenland will be wild and difficult. Then there is all the rapidly shifting geomorphic shit and abuse due to an ocean melting off the land…

      The Inuit and related societies are going to have to prove once again that they are the toughest of us all.

      This is one of those comments where, at first, you’re like: “Nawwwww.” Then you think about it a bit more, and then you’re like: “But wait a sec……”

      And then, finally- you arrive at: “oh damn.”

      I think you’re giving him too much credit; he doesn’t have a history of thinking things out past what’s in his immediate vicinity (if at all). I think he sees a bunch of undeveloped land and wants it. Then he’d be associated with adding that much more land to the US.
