A lot of that is in areas that hold special value and rights to the locals. I know ethnic cleansing for resources is an American tradition, but I kinda hoped that was in the past. But alas.

Trump's lust for taking Greenland is so obvious. It has nothing to do with the security of the US. It is nothing more than a land grab for Greenland's resources. Worse, he is willing to use force, he says, to take Greenland.

The arm-twisting for Ukraine's resources for the sake of a stop of the Russian attacks is also quote telling.

Yeah, this is Canada as much as Greenland getting backed into a corner and expected to cave in.
