Duh! Same with the whole Ukraine offer. Same with wanting Canada for his oil billionaires. None of this helps the average American in need.
Que? Its always been about money. Its always been about natural resources. Its always been national security. What exactly did you think it was about? Gay and transgender rights?
You guys are the ones obsessed with gay and transgender issues . Right leaning posters are the only ones who bring it up and start threads on it It's pathetic the way you guys claim the other side is obsessed Sorry to continue the distraction but agreed it's always been about money. I will say Elon needing the minerals is suspect
Holy sh*t. That's a real bill. In the Congress of the United States of America. What in the actual fuc*?

Google sez Alaskans recieved 1700 a month in 2024. Drill baby drill? I don't think EU will accept a deal even if the natives want it. They're belatedly waking up to how 10x important resources will be and have become in this new world. I guess it'll be a bargaining chip for ongoing negotiations where they want something like a ukraine minerals deal of sorts...
