President Donald Trump says he has a deal with Denmark to bolster the U.S. military presence in Greenland. The announcement comes after months of threatening to take the island by force from the NATO ally.

    It’s a small adjustment of what is already agreed, with likely no practical consequences. It’s a PR move before the midterms.

      The US has had this very presence since after WW2. I live in middle TN. Last night at a party one of the few loud MAGA left told me how we finally got Greenland and how he hates the price of gas but we can’t let Iran get a nuke. These people work on sound bites and this one worked for his lackeys.

        No, it’s what I read from the Arctic policy experts in the trusted media I follow.

        But if you have a different analysis I’m always interested.

          Just the personal experience of living under this regime for the past 2.5 years.
