They're serious about this.

Totally serious.

I'm going to stick by Doug, first of all.

I just, you know, he's a Doug.

Sometimes you got to do these things.

But the Greenland thing is very serious, and I don't really understand it.

Maybe one or two.

The journal article about Greenland was like, this is an economic wasteland.

There's like, you think there's minerals to mine and all this great natural resources.

They're like, no, it's ice.

And it will take decades to make it profitable.

And the people there basically are welfare recipients because they benefit from the Denmark economy and their social system.

I understand, I guess, in theory that Trump looks at a map and he sees a big island.

He's like, I want that.

But other than that, I have yet to see a really convincing explanation for what the motivation is here.

Because you're right.

If it is about Arctic security, if it is about economic vitality, if it is about pushing back against the Russians, Canada is better.

Canada is better.

Fair point.

You'll have a few bad apples, but I would just argue, and I wrote an article.
