The thing is, what's good for the US is good for Greenland and all of NATO. As the US goes, the world goes. I know there are a lot of folks these days who don't feel that way. But it's true. It's not all about TRUMP. It truly is about the free world going forward. We have two players we must be ready to defend ourselves and freedom against at this time. China could decide they want our resources any moment, and radical Islam - and what we also need to be aware of is so much of radical Islam is already planted within our midst. The US is the bastion of the free world -again, I know there are many these days that loath this concept, but if we want freedom in this world today, the US MUST SURVIVE AND THRIVE.
