Do you think the US is going to build railroads in Greenland?!

Anyway the campaign for Greenland is ramping up. And it goes from all the way from weird social media posts, oddly timed attacks on Danish companies (Orsted), huge US "diplomatic" build up in Nuuk, weird "little green men", various statements of agression by Trump and surrogates. And there is a Danish campaign on other side with a silly number of visits by the PM and the king, lots of political wins for the Greenlanders, Danish military build up, French involvement etc.

Entertaining to follow and also with consequences in unrelated fields like tech.



I expect US would build more infrastructure. Maybe even rail eventually. So yes!

Alaska seems to be doing pretty well!

Denmark treats Greenland as pristine natural reserve, where people should not exists, and are just nuisance!


I suggest you look at a map, and then look at a list of cities and their populations.

> Alaska seems to be doing pretty well!

Alaska has towns not connected by roads and rail, so maybe you could start there. Maybe start by connecting Nome[1].

Rubio has really repurposed USAID to regime change Greenland.
