Some in the conservative movement see the country as the next American frontier. |

"It's a frontier mindset - it's taking new possibilities, it's creating new things." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5665153&forum_id=2).#48561781) |

This week, Eric Teetsel, an executive vice president at the Trump-aligned think tank Center for Renewing America, published an op-ed situating Trump's proposal for Greenland in the tradition of "explorers defying long odds in pursuit of their dream of a better life, from Plymouth Rock to Lewis and Clark, the Sooners to the 49ers." "For 100 years, America's domestic and foreign policy was dictated by the mandate to control our destiny from sea to shining sea," Teetsel wrote. "President-elect Trump is reviving a sense of that spirit." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5665153&forum_id=2).#48561788) |

With the collapse of the multipolar global order well underway, he said, "the U.S. is starting to act like a normal great power, ,which is used to [defending] its own set of interests. Nevertheless, Maitra said, he remains somewhat skeptical of the spiritual case for expansion, given that the structural and material justifications for claiming Greenland are strong enough on their own. But he sees the utility of the argument. "If it leads to more competition and more innovation, that's fine by me." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5665153&forum_id=2).#48561794) |
