The U.S. has — by far — the world’s largest defense budget, spending $948 billion last year. Its armed forces have 1.3 million personnel — some of them currently stationed in Greenland. Denmark, for its part, last year spent $9.9 billion, has only 17,000 soldiers, and most of its heavy land-warfare equipment has been donated to Ukraine.

    I read a Reuters article the other day that went “it makes sense to take Greenland, because Russia will likely send nukes from across the North Pole, so that gives us early warning” and I was just perplexed things could get even crazier in this country. No surprise they’d use the Russian boogeyman tactic to placate libs into supporting this insanity, and yet color me surprised.
