Until global warming kicks in from backing out of the Paris Accord and Greenland thaws. Then it'll be beachfront properties and mai tais.

If it's just to make money out of oil and put the final nail in the climate's coffin to please some Exxon dudes, it's not crazy, it's irresponsible at its max.

So was... 
Louisiana Purchase (France) 
Florida (Spain)
Mexican Cession (Mexico)
Gadsden Purchase (Mexico)
Alaska (Russia)
Phillipines, Guam, Puerto Rico (Spain)
Panama Canal Zone (Panama)
US Virgin Islands (Denmark)


Greenland has massive fishing waters, huge amounts of untapped minerals, an enormous supply of fresh water, has less than 56,000 people on it despite almost being the size of India, and is an important place for our navy. There's a reason why the US has tried to buy Greenland a couple times now.

Rarely is buying land a bad investment. The US didn't *need* an Alaska at the time, but that sure turned out pretty great.
