re: So how many Billions is the US tax payer going to pay for the Bahamas

We’ll never get Greenland for the exact reasons everyone seems to want it. They’re not stupid, the money is in the lease, not the sale. If they play it right, they’ll have the highest income per capita in the world in 50 years.

You want to blow off the Bahamas? What are you going to say when China sails a relief fleet into the Carib? Or Russia? And you really want to “take” the Bahamas from the British? There’s no upside to that move.
