I just want to know from all you guys out there. What is your favorite thing about your country?
And if you're from the United States, what is the favorite thing that you like about the United States of America?
But let's get started
So number 10 national debt now buying Greenland will be one costly thing
The estimated cost for Greenland is about 1.1 trillion dollars with the United States debt climbing up higher and higher
being over 22 trillion dollars
Maybe the United States should focus on paying a few countries and people back before investing this money into other places
Number 9 gun policy now whether or not you're for or against guns for all those people within Greenland
Let's be real
Although there is far less people within that country you'd be opening yourself to
American issues and gun control is a big one more specifically
2018 had a really high amount of incidents around this particular issue
So is that something you really want and for the United States?
Is that something you really want to give to another country?
number eight the wall
so Trump basically promised us a lot of things and he's yet to really deliver and one of the biggest things is that he
Promised a giant wall for Mexico sure. It might not be his fault, but let's be perfectly honest
Sometimes he says some things and he just doesn't well follow through and buying Greenland
Well, I don't think that's gonna be something that he could follow through on number 7 Canada now
Although Greenland is a part of Denmark
So to speak it's quite of a bit of a ways
Travel when it comes to defense and I'll get into that in the next one
but if the United States was to open this this would create some possible airspace issues between
Canada and the United States and if you ask me if you're really wanting to sell this country
You might just want sell it to the neighboring country
And that is Canada number six costly defense now in relationship to what I was just talking about. Let's be real
It's not strategically a smart move
It would cost a lot to keep this area protected you need ships and planes to travel up there
And of course keeping people up in Greenland to watch over the area
It can come at a very severe price and we all know America spends enough money on its military
Would you really want to add more to the budget from your tax dollars number five? Just flat out?
No, now Greenland is basically said no our country is not for sale period end of story
So simply stop it drop
It doesn't America have enough resources isn't Hollywood and their great media conglomerates pulling in enough for the economy
hmm number four, Russia and China
Yes, Greenland is a strategic place to have when it comes to defending against these two countries
But it might come at a major risk because if the United States were to buy Russia
It could potentially make things more tense for the relationships between these two countries
With the United States and Russia already close to each other with Alaska
This would just open another border of protection and a worry for all these countries
One thing is if the United States was to buy Greenland
This would be a very clear statement
To the countries of China and Russia and you can definitely count on them reacting number three relations
So a lot of other countries do currently have interest in Greenland
There's a lot of mining companies that have shareholders that are from different countries around the world such as China Russia the United States
Canada England, Australia and many more and what's more
Important is that if you were to buy this place outright this could end up as a really bad business
Fiasco who knows America could end up kicking out all these countries that do have major shareholders from countries
They don't like and so therefore currently Greenland is kind of a diplomatic place because people are working together to get what they need
number two Denmark in Europe
also when it comes to diplomatic relations
The thing is if USA was to buy this place outright
it might even upset some individuals within the European Union which pretty much every country within the
European Union is a great ally of the United
Buying Greenland and running a monopoly on it might not go well over in Europe
And the last thing you might want to do is lose some allies
Number one because it's a trump administration
Decision, let's be real whether or not you see Trump as a person who's done good or bad for America
You may be one that understands that America is a very progressive
Country or that America should be on its own and number one in the world
Since Trump has jumped in he has made things extremely tense with neighboring countries like Mexico
issues with Russia and China have gotten way worse over the years and countries like Iran and North Korea have also been affected heck even
relationships with Australia and Canada have become quite
Destabilized and that is a really really hard thing to do because there are two really nice countries
So there are some of the reasons of why the United States should not even think
of buying Greenland and instead maybe focus on improving the lives of the Americans the country already has
