There's some speculation that perhaps supply chains are going to be evolving around Greenland as global warming happens and ice melts.

So there's all sorts of speculation around this topic.

But I think the way that the U.S.

is thinking about this is underneath the lens of the Dondro Doctrine, right?

So Trump

released this national security strategy document in november 2025 that talked about how the u.s wants to be the dominant power in the western hemisphere that's what we saw with action in venezuela that's why he's threatened cuba he's threatened colombia he's threatened mexico he's threatened iran he's threatened canada um and so it does seem in iran's obviously not in the western hemisphere so apparently the don road doctrine is very uh far reaching um it's everyone

But if the U.S.

invades Greenland, NATO will have to respond in some way.

So all of the countries that have been the U.S.

's allies for the past, you know, since the post-World War era are now going to have to look at the U.S.

and say, OK, we can't really get along with you like how we used to because you just attacked one of our member states, which is Denmark.

Right.

And Denmark has also been one of the closest allies to the United States.

Same situation with Canada, where you're kind of like punching your best friend in the face for no apparent reason.

And that's kind of the hard part I have about understanding this.

And, you know, what a lot of commentators and researchers and analysts are talking about is it doesn't make a lot of sense.

And if anything, the net impact could be really bad.

I think it does signal a more multipolar world, like you pointed out, where maybe the signals to China that they can have Taiwan, it signals to Russia that they can have

Ukraine.

Trump is very focused on expanding military power right now.
