      Territorialism. He thinks he can just demand Denmark to sell Greenland to him, but neither Denmark nor Greenland are having any of it. Big Baby didn’t think he’d get pushback and does what he does best: get pissed.

      Imo, Greenland has fossil fuel reserves they’re not tapping in order to protect the environment. USA wants the natural resources, but Greenland not being brown people or “the wrong kind of white people”, Greenland a member of NATO, invading Greenland outright risks ww3 without being able to blame anyone other than the USA. I could be wrong, though, I’m not a geopolitics wonk.
