This is why trump want Greenland and panama and maybe even canada Mexico!
Trump think that russia will take ukraine or win that's why he want to be equal with russia If russia get land and resources then only way USA to compete with russia is to get some lands and resources too.
If we see plan of trump according to greenland or panama then it means trump expecting russia to gain power over europe so USA and russia are equally strong powers so they check each other moves it's like chess game between usa and russia.
Russia is now very exhausted by the war with Ukraine, which has been going on for almost three years. During this time, Russia's military potential has significantly decreased. But Russia is very unpredictable and in order to distract its own people from defeat in Ukraine, it can start another war by attacking another small state, which could be a country that is part of the NATO bloc.
Trump wants to get Greenland not because he wants to compare himself with Russia. Russia is no longer a particular danger to the United States, but in the future, anything is possible. Trump has already said that he needs Greenland in order to increase security for the United States and North America as a whole. The fact is that Greenland lies on the shortest route from North America to Europe, which makes it strategically important for the United States in the event of a Russian attack. After all, missiles launched from Russia will fly to the United States either through Greenland or near it, and it will be convenient to shoot them down from Greenland. It is no coincidence that the United States already built its secret military bases under the ice of Greenland more than half a century ago.
In addition, Greenland has large reserves of natural resources, and climate change towards significant warming, when the ice is gone, opens up great opportunities for their development and for new trade routes in this northern part of the globe. Therefore, Greenland is a tasty morsel for the United States.
