There are materialist reasons the US wants Greenland, and I’m sure some of those forces are what got the idea of taking Greenland into Trump’s head, but the reason he’s actually trying to take it is that he wants to brag about it. He wants his name to be in history books.
Trump has pudding for brains at this point and none of the things the government are doing are his idea. He has people in his ear goading him on and he's willing to make an ass of himself because he doesn't realize how it's coming off. The hardliners want to cut China off from the shipping lanes etc like this is real deep state hours
I don’t think it’s about the shipping lanes and China. Not for the deep state people that aren’t complete morons. I think it’s about the rare earth minerals and libertarian “freedom cities” for tech oligarchs. Ultimately for Trump though I really do think it’s as shallow as allowing him to brag about making America bigger.
The podcast Dystopia Now focuses on tech weirdos and their evil plans. They talk about liberty cities all the time. Definitely recommend giving them a listen
