The plan would replace the $600 million in subsidies Denmark gives the island each year

The Donald Trump administration is reportedly considering giving about $10,000 to each Greenland resident as part of its plan to annex the island.

The possibility would seek to replace the $600 million Denmark gives the territory in subsidies every year, and has stopped being mere rhetoric to become official U.S. policy, according to The New York Times.

The outlet detailed that the plan already includes several cabinet departments and that the White House's National Security Council has met several times to advance on it, recently sending specific instructions to different offices.

Real pro move is Greenland makes completely open borders, offers to bring anyone up there who wants to move to the US and make them citizens of Greenland and then get an agreement that every Greenland citizen has to immediately become a US citizen.

US should pay at least 5 million to each person. That is how much Trump is selling his gold card visa anyway.

Typical out of touch rich boomer thinking. That anyone can be bought. That everything is a matter of cost.

Or that 10k is remotely enough.

That won't even cover the costs of moving to a non-fascist country.

Lol yeah 10k in american healthcare is like 1 insulin shot 💀

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

Fuck you revolting jackass. How's about you spend 10k per person on healthcare and housing subsidies.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago (4 children)

The fuck?! As if Kalaaliit culture is worth only 10K to each person. US can get stuffed. Culture is priceless.

If it makes you feel any better, America doesn't care about their culture and only wants their natural resources and strategic location. Oh wait, that probably won't make you feel better.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

The culture will be immediately outlawed, too woke. What you're confusing for culture is actually South American gang activity.

Right? I'm American and even I wouldn't take that deal. Mind you I'd take the money, but then if you want me off my land you're going to have to have a conversation with Mr. Glock.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Mr Glock, Mr FAL, Mr M2 Browning... choices could be endless :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Nice. I just have a G19gen4, a heavily-customized AR15 that a gunsmith friend built and tuned specifically for me, and a Saiga 12g (with the crazy Latvian slugs that shoot through engine blocks.) I feel like they cover all the bases. ;)

Think about all the fucking starbucks you can buy with $10k! That's like a coffee and bagel everyday for a year. Fucking startbucks man! C'mon it'll be great

"America First!" -> garbage $600,000,000 bribe to Greenland citizens

[edit: whoops, you're right, I left off three 0s]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

"The party of small government". Tries to gobble up neighbours and allies.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

600k? You dropped some zeros there. It's $600,000,000.

He'd have to go a lot higher than 10k p.p. to even make them consider it, so that'd be billions. Luckily he has millions of tax payers who can fund his little obsession!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

If he doesn't actually know how much a hamberder costs any amount above the cup of covfefe is just as imaginary. Don't know why everyone's so upset about the value of the currency dropping, just release a meme coin and sell it all off.
