Bingo.
They aren’t cut off from it.
They just have to pay fair market value now.

Greenland may have been more about China… China made a play for Greenlands airports back in 2017-2018 and probably would have eventually cozied up to Greenland more for fishing rights as well.
Technically, Greenland belongs to Denmark, and the locals there have never been too fond of their Danish “overlords”.
In 1945 after V-E day, the Greenlanders came this close to declaring independence from Copenhagen, but the British Attlee government and our State Department talked them out of it, supposedly to avoid “Soviet influence”.
The real reason was that they wanted Denmark to keep control of Greenland’s potential mineral resources to get their economy, which was a shambles after five years of Nazi occupation, back on its feet.
Here we are eight decades later, Denmark still owns Greenland, and Denmark’s crypto-Eurosocialist economy, “managed” by the kind of bureaucracy the Eurodolts have loved all that time, is still a dog’s breakfast.
In Expanded Universe (1980), Robert A. Heinlein observed that there had not been a rational decision out of the Oval Office in fifty years.
Both Bushes, Clinton, Obama, and Biden all continued that trend, acting and creating policy pretty much like every President from Herbert Hoover to Jimmy Carter.
Reagan was considered “crazy” because he didn’t toe those marks.
Neither does Trump, and all the “wise heads” scream “BAD ORANGE MAN!!” at the tops of their lungs, and everyone believes them.
Maybe Trump, like Reagan, just looks “crazy” because he’s not “doing business as usual”- because he’s figured out that “business as usual” will inevitably lead to the ruin of Western civilization.
The scary part is, if you go by Arnold Toynbee’s and/or H. Beam Piper’s progression, it might already be too late.

“Trump uses ordered chaos to turn chaos into order.” Love it.
Love the double meaning of “ordered chaos” too…as in, “orchestrated chaos”.
I am becoming more and more convinced that it is all a master plan.
President Trump is playing 3D chess, and hi opponents are still figuring out “heads or tails.”
“his” dangit.
I’m thinking about the last time an Asian nation got desperate for oil.
(Think 1935-ish)
We’re not blockading their oil, just their sweetheart deals.

Greenland is not neutral and has not been for quite some time.
Not with our AF Base that’s been there for over 50 years. LOL

Are we “learing” yet?

Why shouldn’t we, indeed.
4-D Chess combined with an active OODA Loop.
Now if we could just keep the Demos and their trained seal media from throwing sabots into the gears.
From the Startrek episode, “The Corbomite Maneuver”…. “Not chess, Mr. Spock. Poker” and President Trump is playing nine dimensional poker.
Very well put.
I still wonder why we get two pres in a row showing signs of dementia, reminds me of my dad in his last years.

Are y’all tired of winning yet?
I can’t say I understand what Trump is doing but the fact China ain’t happy works for me!!
Not tired of ‘winning’ so I’ll take the occasional bonehead thing* along with the rest.
* e.g., ditching the penny under a false premise; “Arc de Trump” – stuff like that.
Those are the distractions he throws the media while he does something else productive.
