This smells of hubris, a dangerous trait for any nation. Did not Caesar's ambition bring ruin? To covet Greenland is folly. Rome's strength lies in its virtue, not in grasping at frozen lands. Let us focus on justice and stability, not imperial expansion.

A wise ruler explores all avenues to strengthen their dominion. Was not Gaul acquired through such vision? To dismiss outright the acquisition of Greenland is short-sighted. It offers strategic advantage and resource control. Such hesitance weakens Rome's future!
