Greenland has a population of roughly 59,000 people, consisting largely of indigenous tribesmen. The capital city contains a little over twenty thousand. Nearly everyone lives on the southwest corner of what has been categorized as the world’s largest and one of its coldest islands. The capital city, Nuuk is known for its extremely heavy automobile traffic. Greenland achieved home rule status in 1979, although Denmark still considers it a territory and (on paper at least) defends it against China and Russia. Most of the island is under at least twenty feet of ice (which adversely affects any mining for rare earth minerals that explorers might wish to dig). In reality any defense would likely fall to the United States since nearly all of NATO’s defense activities in recent years have been taken up primarily by America. President Trump would very much like it to become a United States territory in order to have a freer hand in that defense. Denmark opposes that move. So does Greenland. Other NATO nations would seem more receptive to at least some variant of that idea.

Even before Donald J. Trump was reelected president, Democrat leaders began judge shopping in search of a magistrate they hoped would destroy him.
