Gravitas Plus: Selling your country for cash

When Donald Trump said he wanted to buy Greenland, he wasn't kidding. Countries have bought, sold, leased many a time in the past. Can such deals be struck in today's time? Can your country be sold for cash or gold? Palki Sharma has the answer on Gravitas Plus.

China is best consultant for whosoever want's to buy any country. They have already brought Terroristhan(Pakistan) Sri Lanka, Iran etc.

Simply mind blowing. No words to describe these type of transactions, yet politicians carry on with these. South African politicians must be at the top of your lists. Please publish a similar article on these wealthiest of individuals.

Greetings from New York. Love your outfit Palky, good reporting, love WION.

All these sales were made when most of what we consider as valuable resources today were not valuable at that time.

[esotericpilgrim]

I regularly watch WION not only for important information but for the beauty of the presentation of this LEADY & her formal style + language

[shaileshmaurya]

This is what should be called reporting 😊😊
Simply impressive

[VikramSingh-jjbk]

Pakistan is now autonomous region of China.

My country (Indonesia) is now sold to China by our politicians..😂

Anyway, it's always addictive listening to Palki's accent, please don't change..😄

This is definitely news with a difference.Educational, great historical analysis, puts the playing out of geopolitics in the context that citizens can understand the dynamics of current day nations relations. Keep up the standard of news delivery. Developing nations are still being sold out through accumulating debt, on borrowed loans for development pet projects of the leaders.

I just turned 18 when Alaska discovered oil. Within a few weeks the town of Anchorage started growing like crazy. It was like a gold rush. I knew many people who worked on the pipe line and got rich. But like any town that goes from simple to more populated and rich it changed.
