I agree with Ninurta, we don't need to own Greenland to be their buddy. We could build more bases and defensive systems, put in a port, sail around, and patrol that area without buying the island.
It's not like we need the land area or can cheaply colonize such an environment. It's not some huge tourist destination, the ice and arctic conditions make exploiting their resources difficult, and I don't think their economy is such that we want a finger in their pie chart.
We can actively deter Russia and China without making Greenland feel cheap and used by offering to buy her like some street corner whore. "We can't we be friends?" I think it is as simple as that, buddy up to Denmark while we are at it, maybe we can make some deals with them other than offering money to buy it.
Get real cozy with Greenland's people and culture. Maybe we can send thousands of tourists there to get friendly with the locals and spend money, so much money that we flood their market. Our currency could be the main one if we sent tourists there and paid them like the democrats pay their ground forces to demonstrate, except we could send them to party and spend money. If enough sex happens, we can actually become related to the native population and have family ties.
