Great use of all that her fuel and person-hours

someone should really be trying to sort out fraudulent and wasteful spending

I never though I would miss that turd.

Along for the debacle were Energy Secretary chris wright and senator mike lee, the Utah douchebag who specializes in helping trump sell fracking and oil drilling rights at national parks.
I’m sure they’re not interested in raping Greenland, though.

would've been extremely funny if his plane crashed into the ocean on its way back

I think he was supposed to leave the military base, but the locals would have none of it.

If I were flown to some remote base I’d have so much fun. I’d ask people about things and be super curious about it. Especially if it’s cold because I love it cold.
I’d talk to everybody and see what interesting ways they adapted to the cold. Like, do they store frozen food outside? How do they defend against polar bears?

Ahh but you see, you'd be there because you were interested in the place, not because you were trying to do some strategy game LARP where you paint your country's colour on the biggest part of the map you can get
I would guess that the polar bears are a good reason not to store food outside. I did actually find a short podcast about freezers in Greenlandic homes from the Ilulisat Icefjord Centre — apparently most homes actually have several indoor freezers to make sure there's enough space to store things for a long time

My wife is giving me looks as I sit here laughing at this.

Good on you, Greenland. I hope some day my compatriots in the US can learn a few things from this.
Some day, maybe we can get more then 2/3rds of our country to participate in voting.
