This is exactly know how ancients moved massive stones for the construction of their temples and pyramids with the help of sound

With specific combinations it's often possible to lift objects or stones weighing tons

There is a reason why Trump has been wanting to buy Greenland since his first administration.
It's all part of his trade war with China.

China used a company called Greenland Minerals to get their hands on valuable minerals in the country.
Chinese company, Shenghe Resources Holdings, is the largest stakeholder in Greenland Minerals. So they have been essentially mining and moving their way into Greenland for years now.
China is essentially processing rare earth concentrates that contains the radioactive elements uranium and thorium.
So this isn't just for some meme that Trump is doing this.
The land has strategic value.

Around the exact same time that Trump first brought buying Greenland to the forefront, he told reporters that he was the "chosen one" to win the trade wars with China.
Listen to him closely in this last clip:
"Over the last five years, China has made 500 billion dollars. Ripped it out of the United States. Somebody had to do it. I am the chosen one. So I'm taking on China on trade. And you know what? We are winning. We are the piggy back, we are the ones that all these countries wants to rob and take advantage of. I was put here by people to do a great job and that's what I am doing."

To put it more simply, Greenland and the Panama Canal are about 1,000,000x more important to the United States than Afghanistan

The strategic importance of sea lanes cannot be overstated in the context of global trade, military logistics, and national security.

For the United States, control over key maritime routes such as those around the Panama Canal and Greenland plays a pivotal role in its economic prosperity and defense capabilities.

In stark contrast, the long-standing efforts to democratize the Middle East have frequently proven to be a fool's errand, often leading to instability, resource drain, and strategic setbacks.

The Economic and Security Significance of the Panama Canal

Trade and Commerce: The Panama Canal is a linchpin in global trade, offering a shortcut for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This reduces shipping times, costs, and carbon emissions. For the U.S., this translates into efficiency in trade, particularly with Asia, where the canal significantly shortens the route to East Coast ports. The canal's importance was recognized by the U.S. when it constructed it in the early 20th century, and even after its transfer to Panamanian control in 1999, the U.S. retains significant influence through treaties ensuring its neutrality and access.

Military Logistics: The canal's strategic value extends to military operations. It allows for the rapid redeployment of naval assets between the two oceans, crucial for response times in potential conflicts or for reinforcing U.S. military presence in regions like the Middle East or Asia-Pacific.

Security Concerns: Control or influence over the Panama Canal also means the ability to monitor and mitigate threats like terrorism, piracy, or unauthorized military movements by adversaries.

The Emerging Importance of Greenland

Climate Change and New Routes: As Arctic ice diminishes due to climate change, Greenland's strategic importance has grown. New shipping routes, like the Northwest Passage, could become viable, potentially revolutionizing shipping patterns by offering shorter routes between Europe and Asia. The U.S., with military bases in Greenland, is well-positioned to monitor and influence these emerging lanes.

Resource Exploitation: Greenland is rich in minerals and potentially hydrocarbons, vital for the high-tech and energy sectors. Controlling or having influence in this region could secure access to these resources for the U.S. and its allies, reducing dependency on potentially volatile suppliers.

Geopolitical Strategy: The strategic location of Greenland also plays into broader U.S. defense strategy regarding Russia and China's Arctic ambitions. Maintaining influence here is part of a chess game to counterbalance these powers in the Arctic region.

The Misguided Effort to Democratize the Middle East

Cultural and Historical Mismatch: The Middle East has a rich tapestry of tribal, religious, and cultural identities that often do not align neatly with Western democratic models. Attempts to impose democracy have frequently clashed with these identities, leading to resistance, civil conflicts, or the empowerment of anti-democratic forces.

Instability and Chaos: Interventions like those in Iraq and Afghanistan aimed at fostering democracy have instead resulted in prolonged conflict, sectarian violence, and power vacuums that have been exploited by extremist groups. The human and financial cost has been enormous, with outcomes often opposite to the intended democratic stability.

Resource Drain: The U.S. has spent trillions on these efforts, both in direct military expenditure and in aid for reconstruction and governance, funds that could have been allocated to securing strategic interests elsewhere, like bolstering naval capabilities or infrastructure.

Strategic Misdirection: Focusing on democratization has sometimes distracted from more pressing strategic priorities, like countering the rise of China or managing tensions with Russia. It has also led to a loss of soft power and goodwill in the region due to perceived imperialism.

The control or influence over strategic sea lanes like those around the Panama Canal and Greenland directly correlates with U.S. economic strength and security. These areas provide tangible benefits in terms of trade, resource access, and military strategy. On the other hand, the attempt to democratize the Middle East has largely been an exercise in frustration, marked by miscalculations about cultural dynamics, leading to unintended consequences that have often undermined U.S. strategic interests. The U.S. would be better served by prioritizing its maritime strategy, leveraging its naval power, and engaging in diplomacy that respects the sovereignty and cultural contexts of Middle Eastern nations rather than trying to reshape them in its own image.
