Now that the US may pony up some coin for Greenland...suddenly there is all kinds of posturing as to who gets the coin.
Denmark will take the coin hoping that the government of Greenland doesn't declare independence from it first. Funny how a few billion can change allegiances.
Still don't get the defense angle wrt Greenland. Defense from who?

The Arctic competition over likely gas reserves up there.

We literally beat the world in the 1940's from across two oceans and only have become more powerful.

Are these people mad? We can't compete with Pukin for Arctic reserves! It's too dangerous, because he has THERMONUCLEAR NUKES!!!! Therefore Trump must stop his dangerous warmongering and back off that idea before he triggers WORLD WAR THREE!!!
Yes, you're absolutely right. Greenland would be about 2000 miles closer to Russia than the CONUS's current northern border, except that the Bering Strait separating Alaska from Russia is only 55 miles wide. This situation has persisted ever since Russia sold Alaska to the USA in 1867.
I feel like we need community notes for EricHolder and his ilk.
When I went to New Orleans, everything was flat and I had to recalibrate my sense of direction.
