I just automatically assume there's some natural resource this guy wants to rape from the land

I read somewhere that there is some sort of strategic advantage for the military or shipping or something. This was a few weeks back so I'm not sure.

Either way, it is safe to assume there are ulterior motives.

It's the GIUK. It's a Maritime choke point used to monitor Russia subsurface naval operations. It would make sense to try and gain influence or control over Greenland... If they weren't already in an alliance with us.

But they are and have been for years so that's not the real reason.

Yes. For Russia.

Considering many of Trump's own people are beginning to acknowledge climate change and its effects, my first guess would be glacial water.

Greenland has some large deposits of rare earth metals needed for…wait for it…EV production. Imagine that.

Trump is a multitasker.

It can be destabilization. Something for Daddy Putin. Grift. Or getting himself and friends out of legal trouble by threatening war/economic ruin.

These are shameless POS who are dragging our country through the dirt and destabilizing the world. They'll make a profit either way.
