    So, they have inside knowledge about how dangerous we can be?

    If I was in charge of any nation, I would want sovereignty over critical technology. I’d be suspicious of the US, China, Europe, Israel, etc. Even though some of those are my allies, I still would want to keep them firmly in their own borders and have critical production and knowledge within my own country.

    The Trump administration has caused a lot of countries to question their reliance on the US, but the reality is, they should have always questioned that.

    I am convinced he wants it because it looks huge on a flat map, almost all of which use the Mercator projection (which preserves shape, not area)

    if you want to see the real size: Peter's projection preserves area, not shape

    I think it's less his simple interest in the Arctic and more about his specific, repeated threats to take it by force.
