    Possibly natural resources.

    Place to put ports or airbases. Though they can do that if they ask Denmark nicely, and they have an airbase there called Thule or something iirc.

      It’s probably also so Canada’s surrounded so that when he invades us too Europe won’t be able to help. I wish I was joking. I now think that’s a real possibility. And it might come sooner than we think.

        Europe would not be able to help much even with greenland under control. The US navy is much stronger and a lot of Europe’s navy is tailored for coastal defense.

        The reason why I think he would not invade canada (or greenland) is that NATO would effectively dissolve which would be good for China.
