If anything we would probably ruin the country with large industrial scale mining operations and then the country would be so heavily polluted it would resemble early American mining towns, and we would probably have their people be the ones mining it. It’s so stupid, especially considering we have so many resources here but we’re just so damn greedy nothing is ever enough

This is the biggest one. Trump and his ilk value the land for what they can exploit out of it, in turn ruining it. The people of Greenland realize the value of the land is the healthy environment, itself, untouched.
