One could imagine the phone call that erupted once President Trump phoned the Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Fredericksen, demanding they sell Greenland to the United States of America.
According to The Guardian:
“He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious and potentially very dangerous.”
Another person who was briefed on the call told the outlet: “The intent was very clear. They want it. The Danes are now in crisis mode.” Someone else said: “The Danes are utterly freaked out by this.”
According to one former Danish official, the call was a “very tough conversation” in which Trump “threatened specific measures against Denmark such as targeted tariffs”.
During his new year speech, Múte Egede, Greenland’s prime minister, said that he wanted Greenland to break free from “the shackles of colonialism”. Then, following a visit from Donald Trump Jr earlier this year, Egede said: “We are Greenlanders. We don’t want to be Americans. We don’t want to be Danish either. Greenland’s future will be decided by Greenland.”
If you know one thing about President Trump, if he wants something, he usually gets it.
Citing economic and military security, President Trump believes this parcel of land - massive - is worth the effort. One must wonder if there are other areas of the world he's been thinking about. We could be brash, but, as this is an editorial, why not list a few countries that might actually benefit from being absorbed by the United States of America?
And who doesn't enjoy a good RISK game now and then?
SOUTH AFRICA
By conquering SA, President Trump could guarantee a foothold into Africa for the United States. Disregarding the northern areas where bases are - this could be a decisive moment!
ENGLAND
At first, they'd be angry at being taken over by the United States of America. Oh sure, the Royal Family would be just awfully angry at the idea. But soon, the land of Castles and Kings would accept it as an 'English Territory'. President Trump would of course be knighted, which in itself would prove to be difficult - not being English, that is.
JAPAN
Just get it over with, the bases are already there. The people are fine. And yes, although there is significant tension in the area, would anyone notice the U.S. propping up the flag? Some say yes. Immediately, all import taxes would be zero. Being a special territory of the United States of America would give Japan significant benefits. As dual citizens they could travel freely to the United States of America.
ITALY
Just when things didn't go far enough, we added Italy and the entire swath from Northern Italy to the Southern areas. People would hate you. Becoming instant Americans would cause resentment and you just know, everyone from Hollywood would travel and stay forever in Rome. It's just got that much better wine, to be quite honest.
AFGHANISTAN
Simply put, the U.S. tried and failed one to take over this region. But who says it has to be the entire country? Why not the poppy fields? All of them. Make morphine a cheap drug for hospitals around the world. Have drug addiction centers world wide. It's a win-win situation.
WESTERN CANADA
From Manitoba to British Columbia, they became annexed and multiple states. Of course, there would be a massive influx of original Americans rushing to buy the cheap properties up here. Most would be disappointed by the low choice of luxury mansions. Many would return back to their home state, disillusioned and angry. Some would stay and adapt the old "Canadian" accent.
AUSTRALIA
This is the real logical choice here. It's Canada 2.0 with hot-as-hell deserts. A vast expanse of land that's mostly uninhabitable, except for the coastal regions. Naturally, it would draw the richest Americans to carve out the most exclusive neighborhoods in Australia.
