Are you aware of the NATO assets in Greenland? And what they mean to many things? Here's one hint. Many rocket launches from the Russkies and Chinese assume polar orbits.

Which is why it's great that Denmark is a NATO member and ally, and why it's great that the U.S. has a military base in Greenland. Awesome! We already have all that - and a few bilateral defense agreements with Denmark as well.

What possible strategic goal could Trump be pursuing that we don't already have that's worth antagonizing the entire NATO alliance this way? Greenland and Denmark are already NATO members and allies of the U.S., already fulling meeting their NATO commitments to defense expenditures.

You've handwaved to the idea that Trump must have some different true goal, since his stated goal is so foolhardy. But what could it possibly be that's worth this detriment?
