Why Greenland

[Ninurta]

Hmm.  Maybe Falkland Islands next.

I've heard quiet rumors of the Falklands being given to Argentina and renamed to whatever Argentina calls them. If that were to happen, it would be a real kick in the teeth to some members here, who fought in the Falklands back in the day, possibly reducing their sacrifices to nought.

As I was sitting here considering the Greenland matter, I did finally stumble upon one possible justification for US control of that frozen wasteland. The scenario goes like this:

It's a known fact that China has a controlling interest in at least one of the rare earth mines in the coastal area of Greenland. It's not for the meager amounts of minerals being mined, nor is it for the dismal return on investment the mine represents. So what IS it for? Possibly, it is to set up a pretext in a 4D chess game. It leaves the door open for China to station troops there "to protect their investment in the mine", which of course would place Chinese troops much, MUCH closer to the US mainland than they currently are. It's possible that Trump has projected ahead and assessed that probability, and in intent on taking action to prevent that possibility.

If that's the case, then all the claims of "rare earth minerals" and "north Atlantic security measures "and policing the opening polar ice lanes" are, of course, all just smoke screens for "maintaining US national security". To be perfectly honest, given the current state of kowtowing to the CCP, I don't think it's prudent to trust either European nations or even NATO to provide that sort of protection to the US against the CCP, so prudence would dictate US control of the island ice ball.

That's the only scenario I can come up with that might explain the otherwise lunatic shenanigans going on right now concerning Greenland - it's all a matter of just whose pretext snags the island first in a global 4D chess game of dominance, and the current state of affairs provides no assurances that current US allies will remain so in their efforts to fall all over themselves to appease China.
