Greenland has 50k people. Just give them 1 million per head, passport and ask them them to vote to join the US as a state.

Far better than annexing territories by war.



One million will not cut it. Greenland has free healthcare, free education, and a whole host of other social benefits that, over a lifetime, give a lot more value than a million in hand, and the US social system does. In addition their current (danish) passport ranks higher (4) than the US passport (9) in the The Henley Passport Index [1].

Or we could just leave them be.
