The Strategic Issue Behind Trump’s Spats with Canada and Greenland

The American media’s its usual uninformative self about geopolitical issues, but this video puts many things in a whole new light:

It makes perfect sense that the U.S. would want to secure its northern frontier against incursion by the…Russians and Chinese, those people who Trump’s enemies have convinced themselves he has sold out to. Complicating matters is Denmark’s inability (as a result of its size) to defend Greenland and Canada’s refusal to recognise the Northwest Passage as true international waters, something I’m sure has come up in Trump’s discussions with “Skippy.”

While our chattering classes obsess with their idea that we have “sold out” to the Russians in Ukraine, we should be focusing on this, a much larger theatre of conflict which is a lot closer to home.
