The power balance is relevant because USA can just take it if they want it. People in Europe will be upset but that isn't going to change the outcome. USA has offered to purchase it many times.
I think ultimately this will end up being resolved with USA getting rights to something like 80% of the resource value and Denmark getting 20% in exchange for getting to keep the title.
the power balance isn't relevant because "the US could just take it" doesn't make it any more surprising that Europeans aren't happy with the idea. Spain could take Gibraltar if they wanted, that doesn't mean it's hilarious that the British aren't happy about the idea
the original commenter quite obviously doesn't find it surprising or funny, they're just anger baiting
