No mention of what’s in Greenland.
Our military can’t do much in countries that are unstable.
That plus the rest of your post is 100% correct. I'd add to that it matters a lot that you don't have leaders who are part of the warmageddon cult suppressing your natural resources so that other countries can control you.
