Something is brewing in the Arctic. I think countries are planning and scheming for when the ice melts. Lots of minerals and stuff under there. Canada just appointed a new ambassador to the arctic and is opening new consulats… definitely starting to defend its sovereignty up there. There is also the question of Russia and the arctic.

 I don’t think Trump is going to be able to get Greenland without a fight, but I’m actually not surprised at all the US would try to acquire more territory up there. 

I remember in college learning that due to climate change the Arctic melting would be a desirable area for major world powers due to different reasons.

I Googled some for you to consider: 

Russia's nuclear submarines

Russia has a large fleet of nuclear submarines that can launch ballistic missiles into the Arctic. The submarines are based near the Kola Peninsula and could fire missiles through Greenland's poorly surveyed airspace. 

New nuclear weapons

Russia is testing new nuclear-armed weapons in the Arctic, such as the Burevestnik cruise missile and the Poseidon torpedo. 

Nuclear icebreakers

Russia's nuclear icebreakers are used to transport cargo along the Northern Sea Route. Some of these icebreakers are armed.

Greenland has an estimated 30 billion barrels of oil untapped sat underneath it. Mostly inaccessible due to the permafrost etc.

Global warming is reducing the amount of ice and frozen ground that stands in the way of it. And since no government is legitimately addressing climate change, it makes sense that people like Trump and the GOP want the land ready to drain it.

Same reason why anyone outside of the middle east cares about the middle east in government.

Oh yeah. In 2019 Canada put out a new policy framework re: the Arctic and while a lot of the goals were like, "protect Indigenous people!" "protect the environment!" the whole undercurrent was "yo, Russia and other foreign powers are gonna try and steal our Northern Territories when the ice melts!!"

Which... yes they are lmao, as we see :spin:

You can actually. Once you get off Mayflower.

Denmark should totally go for it—trade Greenland for California! The Republicans wouldn’t even miss it since California votes blue anyway.

Y'all at this point he's talking imperial expansion. Even if these things seem absurd now, Putin is already pulling this right now in eastern Europe and Middle East. I mean I'm really seeing the U.S.A. about to be on the evil side of WWIII :fail:

I think America will invade Greenland-Denmark in 20-50 years once it will run out of its own ressources. If Denmark wants to keep it, it better develops nuclear weapons otherwise it won't be able to defend Greenland. America also invaded Hawaii in the past.
