America has adversaries that it is competing against for strategic advantage. Commenters explain why Greenland is so important to maintaining America’s safety.
Trump isn't joking when he talks about Greenland, and Rubio reminds us this is about national security.

Trump doesn't play games. He's thinking long-term, making moves that protect America's interests. Greenland isn't just land, it's strategic power

Everyone laughing at this doesn't understand geopolitics.

Alaska purchase was also mocked.
Strategic territory always matters.
Trump is transactional and recognizes that the United States needs Greenland for strategic national interest.

It’s not that America simply wants Greenland, it desperately needs it. Posters have the details.
He's not joking for good reason. Strategically it's important because of the shipping lanes. We've got to get control of this before the Chinese get in ahead of us as well.

It's a militarily strategic location. A lot of oceanic international trade runs north of Greenland and give us faster response times to global crises, if I have my facts straight.

Acquiring Greenland would be great for America and Greenland You have the Russians and Chinese military all over the place. They have trillions of dollars of minerals. It could help Greenland and the US out a lot.

It's the best interest for everyone, really. China and Russia should be the only ones who hate it.

Like Rubio said, Trump is going to leverage every option to reach an agreement with Denmark which turns over Greenland to America. Some are laughing at Trump but America’s safety and security is no joke.
