Key line: “This is not just history, it is destiny.”
Any American schoolchild will hear echos of “manifest destiny”, the ideology that justified westward expansion — with and without force.
This propaganda video is laying more rhetorical groundwork for the annexation of Greenland.

Not happening.
America is actually *excellent* at invading countries due to the power and size of it's military.
It just has no talent for holding the territory it has moved into, in the face of inevitable insurgencies.
Canada is next.
Similar rhetoric as Russia’s ”shared history” and need to ”protect” Crimea.
The only threat to Crimea was Russia. The only one threatening Greenland right now is America.
In fact, I'm thinking the USA should leave Greenland altogether, the military bases there are a clear provocation to Russia.
