As press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the quiet part out loud about Trump’s tariffs, a reporter who covers Trumpworld explains why his vile bullying of our allies should be taken a lot more seriously.
I think the Northwest Passage being referred is the Elizabeth Islands which is a geographical choke point not unlike the Strait of Malacca. If the Arctic sea ice fully melts then it’ll be a very important location to control traffic going to and from the Eastern Seaboard. The only way around coming from Russia is to go East of Greenland. Trump wants Canada and Greenland to act as a shield against Russia and to a lesser extent, China.
If that’s his goal (big if) that’s the stupidest way possible. Could’ve literally asked they probably would’ve. Also if that’s his goal why is he simultaneously removing the Russian embargo. This is all also ignoring that krasnov is a Russian asset
The US already has a deal with Denmark basically allowing them unlimited presence on Greenland. A takeover changes nothing except now there’s no “buffer state” between the US and Russia.
The Northwest passage?!??
Now I know you are just trolling.
Why do you think Panama and Canada came up on the same day. Yea, Northwest Passage.
Thank you for clearly outlining the depth of your analysis.
I looked it up and you are clearly delusional that this “Northwest Passage” is some kind of major shipping lane or has any real value at all.
It wasn’t even clear of ice until 2009 and is reported to be as shallow as 15’ in many parts.
Keep building this fantasy of yours. It is entertaining.
