I hope we can at least avoid the sanewashing.

> President Donald Trump has renewed his efforts to take over Greenland, and tapping into the Danish territory’s natural resources is a key part of the strategy.

It is not "taking over" or "annexing". It is invading. A military ally, at that.

And it is not "tapping into [...] natural resources". It is plundering their natural resources.

None of these hypotheticals are consensual. There is no plan for a freely agreed-upon bilateral agreement. This is about invading and pillaging a foreign land. Whether it is Greenland, Canada, or any other country.

While we're at it I also fail to see any strategy.

It’s not invading, yet. Just buying or psyopping is more likely than fighting NATO.
