Because the "video" says that we have tried to buy Greenland before, back when we tried to buy Alaska and hinted that a lot of the reason we wanted it was for strategic reasons and not for money or to have someplace to go when global warming melts the kilometers of ice.

The Greenlander wasn’t a day below 50, probably not a day below 60, and he was standing at the bar, trying to flag down the bartender. He kept missing the bartender, as he kept turning towards the dance floor, saying that he “didn’t want to miss anything”, with the biggest smile. He never told any jokes, but everything that he said was hilarious, and he was always laughing before he’d finish his sentences. I’m also pretty sure that he wasn’t drunk (or at least wasn’t so drunk that it’d have been the booze, good ‘ol liquid courage, speaking). I wish if I could remember specific things that he had said, to make this a better story to tell; but, suffice it to say that I’m still talking about him 2 years later should tell you plenty!
