1 chapters across the catalog

Greenland is identified as the "keystone" of the Arctic, a region of growing strategic importance as sea routes open.

Securing Greenland is viewed as essential for maintaining American maritime hegemony and preventing Russia and China from controlling the future of global trade routes.
