I'm betting the residents there would jump at the chance to become the 51st state - with an oil revenue check for residents like Alaska..
And it' s not that we don't buy - it's the fact that the store shelves as it were - are rather bare.

Isn’t the honour of becoming the 51st state supposed to be for Costa Rica?
No oil..

Boru Yup i messed up my original post and clearly misunderstood yours and responded poorly . Sorry about that Boru. So let's try this over again.
Modern nations particularly the United states don't buy territories like that anymore, And considering the people of Greenland have shown no interest in being controlled by the US it makes it more abhorrent .
I think that's better
Much. Sorry for the confusion.

Heh
That statement in itself is quite the indictment of American (conservative) values.
I wonder, though, if it’s a lack of oil or the skin colour of most of the inhabitants?

Buying Greenland because of the oil is like asking for a longer set of stairs leading up to the gallows. It's just delaying the inevitable.

You don't know squat about making deals.
I'm betting the residents there would jump at the chance to become the 51st state - with an oil revenue check for residents like Alaska..
And it' s not that we don't buy - it's the fact that the store shelves as it were - are rather bare.
Buy real estate - they aren' t making it anymore. - Mark Twain 1. I own 5 properties and have sold 6 more . I know plenty about making deals . The problem is you have yet to provide any evidence their interested in making any deals.
2. Then you don't know much about gambling because i have yet to see any indication they want to join the US. Alaska isn't Greenland so it doesn't really apply .
3. As for the it falls apart due to the previous 2 statements
