Common Sense for America | Greenland: The Real Strategy Behind Trump's Play

Trump's Greenland comments sent shockwaves through Europe — but Bruce Rutherford breaks down why the real story isn't about buying or invading. It's about a smarter deal that protects North America and keeps NATO intact.

In this episode:


Why Russian submarines are already patrolling U.S. coastlines from Greenland's route

How Greenland shields against Arctic missile and bomber attacks

The treaty framework that gets the U.S. what it needs — without force or a purchase

What Trump's public rhetoric is likely covering for behind closed doors

Why European allies are nervous — and why they shouldn't be


Bruce Rutherford follows the money and the map — not the narrative.
