This is an Op Ed, labeled as such, and there is a large dose of speculation involved; however, it does raise some valid points about the strategic value of Greenland. China has been trying to get into the Arctic by any means necessary, and the US could protect vested interest by making that more difficult.

That the author ends with saying she'd give to a Go Fund Me campaign to achieve her favored pro-Trump idea of "getting" Greenland. She quickly mentions and overlooks that the local government was open to Chinese investments, despite Copenhagen's reluctance there. She assumes U.S. government/corporate control of Greenland would be good for us militarily. Perhaps, but good for world peace and cooperation?

The author of this article has a clear national bias in favor of the U.S., seemingly agreeing with the video at the top of the article where the host speaks openly about "American exceptionalism." The article makes it clear that it's an opinion piece, and so I'm not knocking the article for that. I am knocking this article however for U.S. minded sentences such as, "China is looking for any opportunity to squeeze out the U.S. with strategic investments in countries all around the globe. Picking off Greenland would be a coup for Chinese President Xi Jinping." I agree that Greenland would be an incredibly valuable territory to any nation, but to perceive the area only through the lens of China and Russia bad, U.S. good, is too simplistic and not nearly nuanced enough.
