If you’re an idiot than I am, too. The current regime keeps saying owning Greenland is for “national security “ and Shady Vance recently stated that “Denmark has done a very poor job of keeping Greenlanders safe.” But U.S. Senators say intelligence reports have not produced any threats against Greenland at all. Plus, we already have a military base there. What reason besides Donny playing ego games could there possibly be?
