This whole thing literally has to be about taking minerals and have nothing to do with strategic defense. Theres much ado made about shipping lanes, but lets look at the facts:

We already have a base in northern Greenland that is strategically located for those shipping lanes. It has high capacity airfields and the farthest northern deep water port in the world.

It has a capacity for 10k people already as it is, or at least held that many people at one time. Either way, we could have thousands of service members there.

Thule was so unimportant to the air force strategically that just a short time ago that they pawned it off on the space force, and now less than 150 people are permanently stationed there.

If its so important strategically, you would think we would have more than a one-horse town’s worth of personnel there. At this point its more just an airfield than a true military base of any importance. Like the gas station in a one-horse town.

We could easily use the existing base for whatever strategic purposes they claim to need all of Greenland for. Clearly there must be a different reason we “need” to control Greenland
