Vance and Greenland: We want our cake and eat it too
"It's just very simple: Greenland is very important to the national security of the United States of America"
OK. I agree Greenland has strategic importance and the US should have military installations there.
(just like the 1951 treaty allows for)
"And if we're going to invest in Arctic security — if we're going to basically pay a lot of money and be on the hook for protecting this massive landmass — I think it's only reasonable for the United States to get some benefit out of that."
OK. I agree the US will get a benefit by placing military installations in Greenland....since Greenland has great strategic importance for the US.
Oh wait...you want Greenland to pay us too....
I thought defending the US was a US responsibility?
Isn't that why y'all increased the defense (or is that war now?) budget?
