Part 4/8:
The U.S. already maintains a military presence in Greenland, including a key warning system for ballistic missile launches. This existing footprint underscores the island's importance but also hints at the possibility of further strengthening U.S. dominance.

Despite its name, Greenland isn't lush and green but is largely covered in ice—yet melting ice caps are revealing substantial mineral and energy reserves. These include zinc, diamonds, gold, uranium, oil, and rare earth metals critical for modern electronics and green technology.
