Geopolitics Just Got a Price Tag 🌍💰

Vladimir Putin just reframed global politics with a surprisingly simple idea: history has a balance sheet.

When asked about Greenland, he dismissed it as “none of Russia’s business.” But then came the historical rewind — a reminder that Russia once sold Alaska to the United States for just $7.2 million.

Adjusted for inflation, that deal would be worth roughly $158 million today.

Here’s where it gets interesting.

Greenland is larger than Alaska.

Using Putin’s cold arithmetic, that places Greenland’s implied “value” somewhere between $200 and $250 million.

No threats.

No territorial claims.

No diplomatic pressure.

Just math.

The message wasn’t about Greenland itself — it was about perspective. In geopolitics, land, power, and influence are often discussed emotionally. Putin stripped all of that away and treated territory like an asset class, with history as the ledger.

It’s a quiet reminder that global power doesn’t always announce itself with force. Sometimes, it simply runs the numbers — and lets the implications speak for themselves.

History always keeps receipts.
