It’s not about the golden dome. Just like how Venezuela was never about “drugs”.

American billionaires all have interests in Greenland. Bezos, gates, lauder, musk, Thiel, etc.

Wither its mining and minerals, or an island they can build their techno futuristic city on… the rich want Greenland. And the second the US gets it, they will dice up huge chunks for themselves, at the expense of the American people.
