  An interesting take. Read somewhere that the reason Trump want’s Greenland and Canada is so the US is bigger geographical than Russia. Was said as a semi-joke. But at this point I’m not ruling anything out.

  No, it’s more to do with securing the arctic corridor as climate change opens up new areas for exploitation.

  To be fair even without distortion it’s still huge.

  This absolutely is a reasonable explanation why Putin had such an easy time convincing him.
