I do have to say that would make since because you would be surrounded on three sides with America. But that wouldn’t be that big of a problem because the U.S. is good friend with Canda. So America won’t invade Canda for that oil because that would get a big no no from the U.N. and N.A.T.O.
@ThatCrazy Drunk yea, russia and people like that said the same thing about finland, but yet finland schooled dem bare people still, fam..... And especially when dem DK folks are elite trained in dat arctic combat ting fam, they really be kicking out there fam.... but also they got the whole European division behind them..... and yea sure america could drop nukes, that doesn´t scare people no more mate, cah then dat ice ting will melt and overflow some of the U.S. and a lot of good land will go waste ting, like bare ded fam
Actually no one can sell Greenland. Just like you wouldn't be able to just sell Nordmandy France to England or something. People live there. There would have to be a vote for it to be considered.
SteakOnSpear The difference is that nobody, not the US or Denmark, cares what Greenlanders want. If the US wanted Greenland enough, there's nothing they could do to stop them.
HazLobb64 well we also want Greenland to be part of the US because manifest destiny wasn’t just going west. Manifest destiny was supposed to bring all of North America into the US
What do you mean "can?" There's going to be a war for it in the year 2135 after the Inuit extermination campaign lead by Canada in 2130! The US had no intention of paying up to Canada after Saudi Arabia ran dry near the turn of the century.
I dont understand why some people think that Denmark wants to melt Greenland for the strategic resources, even though if Denmark were to melt it Denmark would be Atlantis v2
if the ice on greenland melted, it would likely disrupt the warm water flow from north america to europe, which is partly why europe is so warm desipte its high latitude. if this flow is disrupted then lots of europe would become an icy tundra just like northern canada, completely destroying most of the agriculture in those regions. melting greenland might yield high gains in oil and metals, but it might also destroy europe. on the other hand, if global warming continues, maybe it would counteract this and it wouldn't matter anyways.
So I am Danish, and if it was up to me, Denmark should sell Greenland. We have given away too much money, if you count all the years. We do not need Greenland, the only reason people want Greenland, in Denmark is probably oil. idk
Humanity's like a bad joke with no punchline; A disappointing build-up with no pay-off that fades into nothing and leaves everyone feeling uncomfortable in the end.
As a Canadian, I'm just glad Denmark is refusing to sell, because although we are close friends and allies of the US, I still don't like the idea of being surrounded on 3 sides by the world's most powerful nation.
It's been close to 2 decades since I worked as a business economist, but my guess is that $1.1 trillion for Greenland would be the bargain of the 21st century. I'd go $2 trillion in a heartbeat, not for the least of which reasons is its strategic location. The natural resources that it offers would simply sweeten the deal.
I’m sure the US would pay 2 easily but 1.1 is already a gigantic pile of cash for Denmark, so if they don’t go for that then they probably won’t sell for 2 either.
Oh yes print another trillion or two, Americans have never had it this easy. Anyway, theoretically how could America gather that much money at once? Tax?
There are also massive deposits of raw iron, zinc, platinum and many other rare earth metals that are far more valuable than oil. Last time i checked platinum was valued at over 13000 dollars an ounce where oil is at about 35 dollars a barrel
Baladan its the only country in the world that has ever gone through with nuking another country. And they were very close at starting ww3 via nukes and thereby marking the end of humanity - and so was Russia. Nuuk would go well with Russia as well btw. :)
there is no oil produktion from greenland at the time. the danich oil is in the norh see, and well as a dane littel closer to home. Greenland is a part of the dancich ream since, 1397. an well not to brake it hard to you, we will give it to greenland 4 free, before we sell it to you americans, its like the danich pm say apsurd. to have this debate. its tells how littel you americans know aboud the world. i will NEVER happed.
Finish303 actually you could build a wall because even tho the ocean is in front of the wall you could still build own because you can’t enter a country if you don’t get on land. In that sense you could build a wall right on the edge of land.

Barsat Karki there is also the defensive purposes of the island. We have a pretty important base there, and China has been trying to put their airports on the island for years, the U.S. doesn’t like it.
I'm sorry, when did Denmark ever offer to sell Greenland? I'm pretty sure we would have been happy to buy it just for the strategic value. Not everything is just about the oil.
@@samirraza9069 I did. Denmark didn't ever offer to sell Greenland. I even tried searching for it. It never happened. So telling me to "watch the video" doesn't do anything. If there was something I missed rather than just lazily saying "watch the video" maybe try putting in a timestamp to something you think is relevant? Because the "video" says that we have tried to buy Greenland before, back when we tried to buy Alaska and hinted that a lot of the reason we wanted it was for strategic reasons and not for money or to have someplace to go when global warming melts the kilometers of ice. Who even knows if there will even still be a United States of America by that time?
@@rustyshackelford4613 plus you guys settled in North America around the time England was formed, and obviously way before her colonies. (Assuming you are Danish)
We already are the biggest producer of oil in the world the trade route is really what’s important right now and then the natural resources will become more important later
The USA bought THREE (3) islands from Denmark already, and it was in the early part of last century. It's has already been done, so there is precedent, but there doesn't need to be precedent. There only needs to be a willing seller and a willing buyer.
Hey scoot, given the numerous scandals your Prime Minister has been involved with this past year, you might consider not throwing stones in glass houses. Especially ironic to call the US racist, given Trudeau's recent blackface scandal.

the Americans want to buy Greenland because they heard of a place called "Nuuk"
Russia still regrets selling Alaska to the US. Denmark/the EU should never sell Greenland. It is a strategic territory that will pay huge dividends in the near future.
@Daniel Walter The Russian Empire was one of America's best allies around the purchase of Alaska. The US would have never went to war with Russia over Alaska. The main reason the Russian Empire sold Alaska was because they were bankrupted after the Crimean War.
@Daniel Walter no they sold it to the U.S. because at the time they were at war with the British and Canada was still a British colony, they didn't want to defend it but they also didn't want the British to annex it, so they sold it to the U.S.
Exactly! We practically own the island already! Let us pay a few hundred billion for it and been done with this nonsense. That’s more money then Denmark will “ever” make off the island.
PortalArch1702 Dude the purchasing price for the island is $1.1 Trillion. If we offered every Greenlander 10 Million to vote for American Statehood it’d cost $568 Billion! Nearly half what’d it cost to buy from Denmark directly. That’s money “well” spent!
rainbowsixODST yeah fuck you actually, it's not about who owns the most land, it's about every country taking part in saving and taking care of what they already have. Don't you think the US has eonugh to take care of already?

@@neroquin it was a rowdy night in the Temple Bar area in Dublin, and the DJ was playing anything from Nirvana to Tom Jones to Marc Anthony (I have a hilarious video of a super drunk guy, 30 years old at the most, singing his heart out to Delilah😂). The Greenlander wasn’t a day below 50, probably not a day below 60, and he was standing at the bar, trying to flag down the bartender. He kept missing the bartender, as he kept turning towards the dance floor, saying that he “didn’t want to miss anything”, with the biggest smile. He never told any jokes, but everything that he said was hilarious, and he was always laughing before he’d finish his sentences. I’m also pretty sure that he wasn’t drunk (or at least wasn’t so drunk that it’d have been the booze, good ‘ol liquid courage, speaking). I wish if I could remember specific things that he had said, to make this a better story to tell; but, suffice it to say that I’m still talking about him 2 years later should tell you plenty!
One of the reasons for Denmark does not want to sell Greenland, to prevent exploitation of the Greenlandic people. Though people will argure that is what Denmark does, but not really. If Greenland was in the hand of USA, China or Russia, the Greenlandic poeple would properbly have a much tougher livelihood
Well... the USA did crash a plane with a nuke onboard, in Greenland. And killed (with delay), a lot of the Danish clean up crew, because they didnt tell them about the nuke..so cancer. And why the secret? DK: you can have your airbase, but no nukes. USA: suuurrree no problem....
This is the Eckert IV projection I believe. While Greenland is still larger than it actually is on Eckert IV, it is much closer to true size on Eckert IV than Mercator.
America: “How much for the Island?” Denmark: “It’s not for sale.” America: “How much for the entire country?” Denmark: *Gives nasty look* America: “Oh I’ll get that country.”

Why would you say "slash, the eu". The eu is essentially just a trade union.
@Daniel Walter The Russian Empire was one of America's best allies around the purchase of Alaska. The US would have never went to war with Russia over Alaska. The main reason the Russian Empire sold Alaska was because they were bankrupted after the Crimean War.
@Issach Hazut There were no nukes in 1867 or any Industrial warfare for that matter.
@Daniel Walter no they sold it to the U.S. because at the time they were at war with the British and Canada was still a British colony, they didn't want to defend it but they also didn't want the British to annex it, so they sold it to the U.S.

The Greenlander wasn’t a day below 50, probably not a day below 60, and he was standing at the bar, trying to flag down the bartender. He kept missing the bartender, as he kept turning towards the dance floor, saying that he “didn’t want to miss anything”, with the biggest smile. He never told any jokes, but everything that he said was hilarious, and he was always laughing before he’d finish his sentences. I’m also pretty sure that he wasn’t drunk (or at least wasn’t so drunk that it’d have been the booze, good ‘ol liquid courage, speaking).
I wish if I could remember specific things that he had said, to make this a better story to tell; but, suffice it to say that I’m still talking about him 2 years later should tell you plenty!
