    They want control of shipping lanes in the arctic when it becomes navigable. Along with access to rare earths that are under the ice.

    Similar things can be had without invasion of a sovereign nation. Especially since they are allies already and have given us access and military bases.

    This whole idea is terminally stupid.

      They hate Europe and have a problem with a future where that control and access depends on transatlantic cooperation.
