Big question is when this starts bleeding over into the Antarctic as well. I remember Milei came into office claiming a maximalist area of territory on the continent for Argentina. I'm curious where that goes

I love how basically no liberals pick up on this being a complete and utter acceptance that climate change is happening by conservatives Like there is no world in which Greenland is important to have where climate change can be denied to exist

Given how Trump's mind seems to work, you cannot dismiss the possibility that this entire idea is motivated by the fact that annexing Greenland would make the US quite literally the greatest country on Earth :) (well, except for Russia, but there are lines you just cannot cross…)

Yeah, but are there any American interests that require actually owning it that couldn't be secured through soft power?

Man, is today "let's use the term soft power" day or what? We had "soft power" post-WW2 when we had 17 bases there. Today there is 1. Greenland is negotiating for independence from Denmark. It is a massive country of growing geopolitical importance with the population of a pretty small US city. They need a deeply integrated partner who can defend it, or it will not stay independent for very long. Explaining that takes longer than a tweet

Do you think the current approach will make the US that “deeply integrated partner”?
