It's not about the headline, it's about your statement:

If neither Denmark nor the U.S. is better, then it makes no difference if the U.S. takes over.

It makes all the difference to the people who live there, who don't consent to becoming American. The question isn't, "who can better administer the landmass and its populace", the question is, who has the right to? The population is not consenting to America imperialism, so it makes all the difference to them. Consent matters.

Yes obviously it would be terrible if the U.S. took over Greenland. Though I don't think Denmark having "the right" to colonise is what the people who said that were intending to convey.
