35. He's also creating a distraction for NATO countries so Putin could invade the Baltic nations

At least that is my considered opinion. What could be more convenient for Putzin than to have the major European powers deploy military personnel and equipment to defend Greenland? This would slow down NATO's rapid response plan to protect Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania from being quickly overrun by Ruzzia.

I saw in the news from Estonia yesterday that they will send no more than a handful of personnel to Greenland for the planned European military exercises. This tells me they feel the need to keep their defense forces at home in case of an invasion.
