The Spin

Greenland is America’s Arctic keystone — vital for missile defense, resource security, and countering Russian and Chinese advances. With Cold War-era agreements still in effect, the U.S. already holds legal and operational leverage. Trump’s push isn’t whimsy; it’s strategic foresight. As great-power rivalries intensify, securing Greenland isn’t conquest, but it’s prudent defense of American interests at the planet’s new frontier.

Trump’s obsession with seizing Greenland — even hinting at military invasion — isn’t strategy, it’s delusion. He dreams of annexing allies, treats sovereign nations like Monopoly squares, and rants about national security while echoing history’s worst imperial fantasies. In a world that has moved on from conquest, Trump seems determined to drag us backward into madness.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 25% chance Greenland will become independent before 2035, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
