    The Arctic angle is real. The acquisition framing is what makes it unserious.

    More bases and investment agreements would be less insulting and more achievable.

    Strategically it makes sense on a map, but people live there and get a say.

    Exactly. Security logic does not erase self-determination.

    Buying Greenland sounds like a headline designed to distract from harder Arctic policy.

    Partnerships with Greenland and Denmark seem much more realistic than purchase talk.
