You give each Greenlander 1 million dollars which will cost the Us 56 billion, which would be much cheaper than any war.

    Why do you think Greenlanders would trade EU membership for potential US citizenship for a relatively small amount of money?

      I think the implicit assumption is if they didn’t take the offer (“easy way”), they’d then get the “hard way,” in which the US receives the same end result, but no one in Greenland gets the million. It churns the bile in my guts that anyone on earth is even having this discussion with a modicum of seriousness. Greenland is for Greenlanders.
