I mean, and it's not just Greenland.
It's throughout all of Europe in response to this.
It's insane.
But I have to ask you this in a little bit of lighter note here.

I'm curious, like, what wildlife is there?
Because it ain't penguins.
Okay.
Are seals hunted?
Because I would imagine there's not a whole lot of...
Well, something to note for folks who are history buffs, we should also remind people that the United States has had a relationship with Greenland for a long time.
We have bases there for a long time.
And actually, during the Cold War, I think in the 1960s, we slung a couple of nuclear weapons there.
out of B-52s that crashed.
Now, it was a mishap.
We didn't mean to, but during Operation Chrome Dome, which was the time in history when we would fly B-52s, we would always have B-52s airborne at all times with nuclear weapons on board, thermonuclear weapons, not just the ones that go boom over Hiroshima, but massively much larger booms.
During that time, there was a mishap around Greenland and a B-52 broke apart.
And those nuclear bombs got, you know, thrown into the ice.
