    Greenland houses some key NATO sites that monitor the arctic. These are mostly used to make sure Russia stays in Russia.

    The other non-Russian factor that I don’t see people discussing is climate change. The northern areas are going to become more habitable and having Greenland and Canada means the US population has somewhere to go. This is the motivation for a lot of things they aren’t talking about because it is evil.

    You can choose which evil is motivating them I believe it’s both.

      If the AMOC collapses they’ll become significantly less habitable, and that’s looking more likely to happen by the year.

      I have considered that USA would have to migrate North. To plan for it while denying that anything is wrong is true evil.

        It very much is. Canada will be housing much of the human population in the Northwestern quadrant of Earth in a few decades. We really need to get our shit together and quash racism if we want humanity to survive.

      I think Trump wants control of trade routes (specifically, the Northwest Passage). That also explains why he’s going after the Panama Canal at the same time.
