I wonder if Putin has put Trump in overdrive, because Putin is panicking?
If Trump/USA invades Greenland it would most likely be the end of NATO, and it would be the end of Europe buying weapons from USA for Ukraine.
USA already had all the access to Greenland they wanted until Trump started this nonsense.
There is no rational reason for Trump to want Greenland, except to destroy NATO! Which he hinted at numerous times already in his first presidency.
From that perspective disrupting Venezuelan oil also makes sense, because China buys oil from Venezuela, without that oil China may have to buy more oil from Russia and pay more than they do currently where China gets Russian oil at a very steep discount.
The actions of Trump seem designed to help Putin, and my guess is that Putin is the designer.
For what is an emperor without an empire? Let’s disregard what every other empire has become once it gets too big for it’s britches though. History can’t teach you anything, right?
I remember seeing the usual suspects in russia lamenting how bad it was to sell Alaska to the US for nothing…tramp feels like he can claim glory for doing the same with Greenland (very easy for any putinist or neonazi to implant this idea into his skull)

Trump wants the US to have a big map. That’s about it.

I’m only half joking when I tell people the current state of the world is because Queen Elizabeth the Second actually died
She couldn’t even keep Andrew in line.
And Putin is guiding him.
And on some level he sees the value in the arctic. Probably shipping routes.
Shipping and naval routes, oil and other natural resources…
A thawing Artic changes the whole game up there. Plus, prospecting and mining become easier if 1,000’ of ice melts.
