Look at this Google Earth image of the north pole.

We're used to the Mercator projection of earth, but a view from 90° latitude shows how dominant Greenland is when opposing Russia across the Arctic Ocean.

With Alaska at 150° West longitude and Greenland at 41° West longitude, that gives the United States a wide swatch of the Arctic Ocean to patrol.

Swatch = Swath.

We would control the inflow and outflow of the Artic Ocean.
