It was an amusing idea, though, but everybody is taking it waaaaaaaaay too seriously.
It’s not that it’s completely without merit, there certainly are vast amounts of unexploited resources on the island and it’s in quite the strategic location from our point of view. Just one little problem: It ain’t for sale. It’s part of a country, specifically Denmark, and countries don’t just go about selling off their territories like they’re used cars.

This wasnt about money
It was a shot across China’s bows. Next time we talk Misha, Ill tell you why.
How many divisions have the Danes, again?
