It makes no sense because we have full access to Greenland.

Denmark has been one of our best allies for, I think, 200 years.

I think they lost more soldiers per capita than any other ally in our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I mean, this is a country that has joined us even in our unpopular wars, wars that were unpopular in

their own society, for better or worse, there's no reason we should be at odds with them, much less be mistreating them, much less be threatening to kill their soldiers, which is effectively what we have done by saying, you can do this the easy way or you can do this the hard way, and we might invade.

Obviously, we risk shattering NATO if it isn't tacitly shattered already.

I think it probably is.

I don't think anyone thinks we would defend a country like Poland if Russia rolled in there now.

So our Article 5 obligations, I think, are void.

It makes no sense because we already have bases on there.

We have older bases on there.

I think at one point we had something like 17 military bases on there.

Greenland.

I think we have one now, but we have full access rights.

We can do anything we want there with respect to defending Arctic sea lanes or mining for minerals.

It's not a thing, this problem of Greenland not being available to us strategically.

Why Trump thinks we need it?

He said something like America needs it psychologically or something.

That just is

Well, I thought he said it because he was worried that China or Russia wanted to take it.
