      Also the US already has a military base in Greenland and has for many decades. In fact, they used to have dozen or so during the Cold War. And because the area is apparently such vital importance to the defence of the US, they currently have… 150 soldiers stationed there.
      In the one base they have kept.

      Very, very important location. Vital for defence.

        And they know they can reactivate as many bases as they like, or create new ones if they wanted to. It’s all part of the current deal they already have and completely ignore.
