Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticised Europe over its approach to security issues, including Greenland, during his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
In the 40s there was a lot more polar ice stopping ships getting there, and far fewer long-range bombers, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. If the US went to war against Russia or China (instead of siding with them against Europe), Greenland would see a lot more action in its immediate vicinity. That’s why the preexisting deal lets the US station effectively as much of their military there as they’d like.
