    Resources, north sea access, missile defense.

    It’s dumb but with climate change it’s valuable territory, geopolitically.

    The stupidity is we already have all the military stuff we need there, and long standing agreements.

    In addition to it not being for sale, Annexation is bullshit because it doesn’t provide proper representation to those that live there. The whole country was formed with ideas of representation and taxation in mind (albeit quite imperfectly). Anywhere the US flag flies, those under it should get full rights and powers as a citizen.

      It’s also only 50k population, so it won’t affect the voting distribution. Adding socialist Canada would likely sway the distribution as Canadian conservatives trend more Like US democrats.
