Trump’s Greenland Fantasy: Buried Under a Mile of Ice and 40 Russian Icebreakers

Strategic dementia plays out in real time. The numbers reveal an acquisition proposal so detached from operational reality that it belongs in Hollywood rather than the Pentagon.

I appreciate analysis like this but Trump's desire to annex Greenland is a favor to Putin to break up NATO, reality and other consequences be damned. This is merely treason, not some economic or security plan.
Wilful incompetence, systematic neglect and preference for theatrical delusion over operational capability.

While Russia built 475 Arctic bases, the United States reduced Greenland personnel from 10,000 Cold War peak to 150 current staff. A 98% reduction during the period of maximum Russian Arctic expansion.

Most everyone here knows, but just as a tariff refresher:
A 10% tariff on European countries over Greenland just means U.S. taxpayers will be changed another 10% tax to Trump deposited in the U.S. General Fund to pay for things like ICE and other pet projects.
It’s another grift.
