Could this be why DT wants Greenland?
“Camp Century”, a former U.S. military base, is buried in the ice in Greenland. Apparently it contains lots of radioactive and toxic stuff. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-13155181/Can-climate-change-release-35-swimming-pools-worth-nuclear-waste.html Maybe they don’t want the USA retroactively embarrassed? This also would not be a problem if … Continue reading
