Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas a student of the Great Thomas Friedman, when I look at Greenland, I don’t just see a frozen island in the North Atlantic. I see a diamond in the rough, a land of untapped potential, and a strategic asset that could redefine America’s role in the 21st century. And when I look at global warming, I don’t just see a crisis—I see an opportunity. Yes, you heard me right. An opportunity. Because in a world that’s getting hotter, greener, and more interconnected, Greenland could be America’s next big thing. Let me explain.
First, let’s talk about Greenland itself. It’s the world’s largest island, with a population smaller than Wichita, Kansas. It’s covered in ice, but beneath that ice lies a treasure trove of rare earth minerals, oil, and gas—resources that are critical to the green energy transition and to maintaining America’s technological edge. And let’s not forget its strategic location, smack dab between North America and Europe, with easy access to the Arctic, which is becoming the next frontier of global trade as melting ice opens up new shipping routes.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Crezzy, Greenland isn’t for sale.” And you’re right—technically. But let’s not forget that back in 2019, Donald Trump floated the idea of buying Greenland, and while it was laughed off at the time, maybe he was onto something. Not the buying part, necessarily, but the idea that Greenland could be a game-changer for America. What if we approached this not as a colonial land grab but as a partnership? A deal that benefits both the U.S. and Greenland, with investments in infrastructure, education, and green technology that could turn this icy outpost into a hub of innovation and prosperity.
And here’s where global warming comes in. Love it or hate it, the planet is warming, and the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. That means Greenland’s ice sheet is melting, and while that’s bad news for polar bears and coastal cities, it’s also opening up new possibilities. As the ice recedes, it’s revealing land that hasn’t seen the light of day in millennia—land that’s rich in minerals and ripe for development. And thanks to glacial isostatic adjustment, that land is actually rising, making it even more accessible.
Wait, what’s glacial isostatic adjustment, you ask? Let me break it down. Imagine you’re lying on a memory foam mattress. When you get up, the mattress slowly springs back into shape. That’s what’s happening in Greenland. During the last ice age, the weight of all that ice pressed down on the land, and now that the ice is melting, the land is rebounding—rising up like that mattress. This means more usable land, fewer flooding risks, and a unique opportunity to build sustainable cities and industries from the ground up.
Now, let’s talk about the business case. Greenland could become a global leader in green energy, with vast potential for wind, solar, and hydropower. It could be a hub for rare earth mining, providing the materials we need for everything from electric vehicles to smartphones. And with its strategic location, it could be a key player in Arctic shipping and trade, connecting Europe, Asia, and North America in ways we’ve never seen before.
But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about economics. It’s about geopolitics. China and Russia are already eyeing the Arctic, investing in infrastructure and military bases to secure their interests. If America doesn’t step up, we risk ceding this critical region to our rivals. By partnering with Greenland, we could strengthen our position in the Arctic, counterbalance China’s influence, and secure a foothold in one of the most important regions of the 21st century.
Of course, this wouldn’t be easy. Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark, and any deal would require buy-in from both the Greenlandic people and the Danish government. There are environmental concerns to address, indigenous rights to respect, and logistical challenges to overcome. But as I always say, the world is flat, but it’s also fragile. If we don’t seize opportunities like this, someone else will.
So, yes, the idea of America taking Greenland is bold. It’s audacious. It’s a little crazy. But in a world that’s changing faster than ever, crazy ideas are exactly what we need. Because if we play our cards right, Greenland could be more than just a frozen island—it could be the cornerstone of America’s future. For managed democracy.
Lmao, when I first read this, I was initially wondering 
what this had to do with the Trump indictments
