Just saw this RealLifeLore video a couple hours ago, prior to seeing this SN post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8j2uWw3WfU

And saw this Peter Zeihan video a couple weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At74k92vS10&t=342s

I already knew of a couple immediate benefits of U.S. getting Greenland as 51st state: Offshore gas (and oil?) ... just sitting there, New channels for running fiber optic, Extend continental shelf claims,

But long term snagging Greenland is probably a bad idea: https://www.heritage.org/global-politics/commentary/buy-greenland-and-you-may-get-more-you-bargained

There's no chance of Greenland becoming a state. It will be a US Territory, which is a much better deal for them, anyway.
