But we can open as many other bases as we want, and they're very amenable to that.

I think President Trump's right to say, well, yeah, but I don't want a short-term lease on these bases.

I would say a 99-year lease sounds like a pretty good lease to me for, you know, in 99 years, God knows what's going to be happening.

But to the extent that missile defense is part of it, which it is, I would say that's a part.

For the naval component, yes, I think that as the Arctic melts, you already now have an opening of sea lanes.

And the way that the territorial ownership, the abutters have their claim to the local and the regional territories.

And there, the main claims are Russian and Canadian.

We have a chunk from Alaska, and then Greenland would be a piece of that.

So I would say that's relevant.

But those sea lanes, at least for the Navy people I talk to, they're not as important as they used to be because now there's so many different ways to get it.

You're not going to try to blockade a...

you know, a, a waterway, uh, with ships, you're going to do it with smart minds or you're going to do it simply by attacking the ships on the, on the away.

And if it's underwater, uh, underwater is pretty much all the same, but it's good to have narrow places and shallow places for looking for things.

But, uh, so I, I, I would say, I think Trump's, uh,

Greenland Venture was more like for fun.

Plus, I mean, I think one of the people that knows him well says, remember, he's first off a reality TV producer and star.

So he just has fun starting with a drama, getting people very excited, letting the tension rise, and then finding a resolution.

And I think we're on track to a resolution there.

I have to think about it.

I hadn't heard that argument just that way.
