Novo is just worth $300B, it's nothing compared to the many trillions of dollars Greenland is worth.

But I guess politicians are much cheaper than that.

Worth to whom? Greenland has about 44,000 inhabitants over age 17. I would imagine a majority would be willing to sell their citizenship to the US for quite a bit less than a million dollars each....

The natural resources that haven't been exploited

also, taxes on the northwest passage

Now that would be a real tragedy, bunch of common folks largely clueless about finances suddenly becoming millionaires. If anything lottery winners have thought us is mostly just a destructive event.

All of these trillions are imaginary numbers buried in ice
