is that if Greenland were actually up for sale, Canada would be the natural best ownership candidate given its location adjacent to Greenland. That would make Canada even more important from a natural resource perspective. There's no way the U.S. has a legitimate claim to Greenland other than the fact that we have a military base there. Of course, if that were the main criterion, we would own much of the world, as we seem to have bases nearly everywhere.
