I agree, they are deliberately picking a “low-value” target to drive a wedge between the US and EU/Canada. Miller and Trump are panicked that they won’t finish the term and are trying to crank all the isolationist, fascist, hermit-empire world-building into one year.
Nobody wants to start World War 3 over Greenland, so it’s a testing ground for how far this administration can push their dumb agenda.
If he was a halfway intelligent dictator they would be negotiating for rights to set up a stronger US presence in Greenland and work through soft power, trade and other back-room negotiations, but they’re utter fucking morons so they’re trying to use hard power to divide alliances and threaten the world.
All we will get out of this deal is embargos on US goods and the slow, steady decline of the US superpower status as the rest of the world moves on and we slowly rust.
