    I cannot see what strategic reasons these might be, or why they would justify the massive costs of invading a NATO and EU member state.

    I am, of course, aware that the US president is a megalomaniac. But I think you are thinking too much from a political perspective: the US has been a plutocracy for decades. Therefore, the economy pulls the strings, and I cannot see what the massive losses that an invasion of Greenland would entail would justify - there really is no economic gain and that is all the US is about.

    You want a short answer: it would cost the US economy billions to attack Europe, and that is why they will not do it.

      I cannot see…

      Full control of the Arctic circle and Trump is an imperialist. Mainly the second to be honest because as things stand strategic control is given to the US anyway.

      Again, you’re missing the fact that Trump is in control of the US. The only people who have influence over Trump are Putin and Netanyahu, because they have either kompromat on the bloke or he owes money.

      the US has been a plutocracy

      No more. It’s a dictatorship run by Trump. What applied in the past no longer applies.

      you want a short answer

      The US will move on Greenland before Easter and you better prep for it.

      As to how Europe reacts, we’ll see, but the US will take Greenland.
