Greenland as our 51st state? How about a Gulch?
Posted by katrinam41 3 months, 2 weeks ago to Ask the Gulch
Our incoming President is very seriously eyeing Greenland as coming under the influence of the United States, not just as a stratigic base, but as an independent nation able to support itself with a huge wealth of natural resources. Oil and minerals top the list, and the 60,000 citizens are preparing for a vote to separate from Denmark. What say ye?
I can't figure out what to make of Greenland, though. I wonder if it's not just something to distract people while he does something else, and you are right about it making an interesting and entertaining conversation.
If the effects are as mentioned in previous posts here, Canada and Greenland might become
the new tropics and a breadbasket for mankind, assuming 'mankind' survives.
I do think there has to be a way to regain complete control of the Panama Canal, though. Having Chinese companies (hence the CCP) running both ends is not what I would call a secure asset.
On the side, Canada becoming a 51st state is all in great fun, but not likely as each province of Canada would have a need to become a state of its own, adding a slew of new states (Canada has 10 provinces and 2 territories). Canada is not a monolith to be treated as a single entity like a "51st" state. I also wonder if the French in Quebec would take the move to become a separate nation rather than have Quebec be a new state in the USA. Just thinking out loud here. Oh, and I heard the provincial governor of Alberta would like to join the USA even if Canada doesn't. LOL, Trump's got a bunch of folks all in a tizzy again - ya gotta luv it! Buy stock in popcorn, LOL.
