US Offers to Buy Greenland Again. Surprise!
The mainstream media, ever so gently, presents this as a quirky diplomatic kerfuffle. What they don't bother to mention is that the U.S. has a century-long, unappeased appetite for Greenland, first trying to buy it in 1867 and then again in 1946 for a cool $100 million. This isn't some spontaneous whim; it's a consistent, calculated geopolitical play, framed by an administration that rarely wastes
words on truly trivial pursuits. One might wonder if the 'talks' will involve comparing price inflation since 1946, or if Greenland is simply expected to feel grateful for the attention. Perhaps the White House just assumes nations are for sale, much like political influence in Washington. How many times can a country politely decline before it's considered poor etiquette?
