    Wasn’t this last week’s news?
    So, if it reopens, here’s a longterm-scenario: suppose US and Canada both split into oceanic versus central, meanwhile Russia is weakened and blocked from europe, but these fossil-fuelled conservative autocratic mid-continentals want to forge a new empire across the arctic, where’s their strategic hub half-way between Texas and Muscovy - Greenland of course !
    ( Prefer a simpler explanation? - maybe it’s just punishment for sending F16s to Ukraine, hey you might need those ? )

      I was hoping Biden would send every gun, bullet, bomb and vehicle to Ukraine, to take the teeth out of Trump’s threats for a couple years at least. Obviously that wasn’t going to happen, but it was a nice thing to think.
