So how does that work, Greenland being a NATO member and all.

Maybe this is the start of the story of how the US is kicked out of NATO.

Wish I were joking.

There are NATO members who mostly joined so that the US wouldn't attack them.

What…? Which ones? Because I’m fairly certain that’s not a real thing.

As an American...."why!?" What's the point?

  1. You get all of the maritime rights around it
  2. You get all of the mineral resources as the ice melts
  3. You can block the NW passage if you want as the north arctic ocean melts out

World domination via military expansionism, hence the control of key military and supply routes, with global warming opening up formerly frozen parts of the far north. Why world domination? A combination of greed and fear. A lust for power and a fear of the punishment for the crimes Trump and his ilk know they're guilty of. I'd recommend anything from life in prison to public [Terrariaifica]tion.

It's close to China and Russia, it's also likely full of natural resources that will become available as climate change continues to worsen.

Close but no cigar, mineral rights are the front page to get his dumb self absorbed base into it. The main swing imo as far as I can tell is to control more shipping hence the move on the Panama canal and friendly extensions to Egypt (suez).

I say go to the source and invade Denmark and loot their ham, cheese and Ozempic.
