16. If you look at everything Trump is doing in the lens of who benefits.

It is all for Putin, including Venezuela oil, China may have to go back to buying from Russia or Trump has already said he would sell to Russia. US doesn't want or need the oil, it is more trouble than it is worth, where is the oil from the tankers? If Trump thought they needed more security in Greenland he could, at any time expand the US bases there and if they wanted the minerals, they can invest in mines as so many other countries have done. Don't need to own the land. However if he wants it to allow Russia access to NW passage it makes sense. I also think he is tanking the US economy for Putin, he wanted everyone, Europe and US destabilized and it is working. Everything Trump is doing works for Putin.
