The US lost a nuke there in 1968 which still hasn't been found. Maybe they can find it. On the other hand, the US taking Greenland can set a precedent for China to take Taiwan.

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.
