Peak Trump logic: He fears Russia will invade Greenland but invites Putin to his ‘Board of Peace’

Donald Trump keeps selling Greenland to the public like it’s a glass display case full of national-security nightmares. Russian ships, Chinese ships, submarines everywhere, and a helpless West that apparently can’t “defend leases.” So, America needs to own the island, according to him.

And that contradiction sits at the heart of Trump’s latest stunt. He says we need Greenland because Russia will take it. The next moment, he turns around and invites Vladimir Putin to join his new “Board of Peace.”
