Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

I think she is head of the armed forces. She was only recently appointed. It could be that since we do have a contract for F35's, armed forces must plan for that and leave the internecine warfare up to others. Or not🧐😋
