I mean, you didn't actually address Butthe terms of the Greenland deal at all
Here, let me jump in to try to help.
Prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States had seventeen bases in Greenland. Thirteen were Army bases, four were Navy bases. After the threat from the Soviet Union went away, the US decided to close almost all of those, leaving us with the one remaining base that exists today.
But there is nothing in the original agreement, first signed during World War II and then updated with the 1951 Treaty which would have stopped us from expanding back to however many we wanted. The point is we didn’t want . It was expensive and there was no recognized need for it.
So the new treaty, as wonderful and terrific as you think it is, is nearly identical to the one which has been in existence for the past 75 years.
That guy! What a master negotiator. I hope he gets to put his name on it or something.
