Why does Trump want Greenland and the Panama Canal so badly? One reason may surprise you

2. This had absolutely occurred to me previously

No matter what they've successfully conned the dull MAGA rubes about on the subject, TPTB (including Donnie Dipshit) absolutely believe in anthropogenic climate change, and probably believe it's going to be worse, and happen faster, than the public are generally being told. The calculation that, as the GrIS melts, it will both endanger the US due to rising seas, and also expose potentially resource-rich but previously undeveloped areas for extraction, is a simple one to make. From there it's simple extrapolation to 'thus, the US needs to take it so we have resources to fight the effects of AGC', esp. if you're as simple-minded as Orangina. For now IQ47 is keeping this reasoning close to the vest so as not to disillusion his MAGA morons, but I think he's keeping it in his back pocket, and if circumstances force him to, he'll break out a case involving AGC for why we need to take Greenland.
