I don't want to give the fascists too much credit, but is Greenland a distraction from Ukraine? Perhaps it is believed a diversion of forces to head off an imaginary invasion of Greenland will lessen the volume and rate of EU support to the eastern front?

I'm sure these 16 troops and their respective equipment were going to turn the tides of the war in ukraine 😅 not mentioning that the US is still the primary benefactor of Ukraine.

I'd sooner think a distraction from Venezuela. If everyone is outraged about something that might (and then doesn't) happen, then there's less discourse around real crimes.

The liberal mind truly is incredible

Just off in a completely false reality

With the world warming the Artic is opening up and Greenland itself will have a lot of strategic importance because of it. It also has a lot of natural resources that currently are difficult to be extracted but after the ice melts will be ripe for the taking.

So the Orange Man is making a cynical play that makes sense, unfortunately.
