FoxNews' Watters on American TV: "We are not in high school. We don't need friends ... if we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland ... we’re big boys ... we dropped A-bombs on Japan and now they are our ally… America is not handcuffed by history."

I like this guy. However, that "Greenland is also a part of NATO" is much too subtle for the Mango Mussolini.
What is this security anxiety he's referring to as justified based on? The only recent provocative acts I know about have been exclusively in the Baltic sea or nearby.
New shipping lanes will open up in the Arctic in a few years.
And everyone wants to control them.
I understand the basis of the idea, I just don't see any actual movement that justifies militarizing Greenland with US troops like he's suggesting. The only ones seriously threatening to invade Greenland is the US. He's giving Trump too much political cover by rationalizing his claims.
Shipping lanes are only useful if countries are still trading with each other.
There is a straight line between Russia and USA that goes over Greenland. It is the shortest way to get to USA from Russia, if you were to fire long distance rockets or fly bombers. There is also an other straight line that goes over Alaska
