1) What does Putin think?
2) What does Xi think?

If those two dont want us in Greenland that means they want it themelves or they are concerned we would exploit it ourselves, most likley to their detriment. The USA should go hard in that case.

3) What do Greenlanders think? If they dont want you, buy their “want to”..

Pay them a substantial and fair sum,
