Trump says anything less than having Greenland in the United States' hands is 'unacceptable'

17. My Guess

is that Greenland is part of a larger grand airhead idea he has hinted at occasionally and wants to unveil in the future. A "Golden Dome" missile defense system. Beyond the minerals and shipping routes global warming exposes it would give the U.S., Greenland sits geographically in an area that can potentially act as a defensive buffer to the flight paths of missiles coming over the Arctic circle from Russia, China, and North Korea. Positioning missile defense sites there would give an extra early warning to protect against attacks against the U.S. as well as a offensive platform that would be an advantage against those countries in the event of hostilities.

Not saying that's the right or logical thing to do.

The more practical and logical approach is to accomplish the same thing by working with NATO and Denmark through treaties and mutual defense pacts....but that would be too obvious for an evil psychopathic megalomaniac dipshit like Trump.

That, IMHO, is why Trump thinks the U.S. “needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security.” He'll try to work this into some kind of national political advantage at some point.
