And left a very large amount of high level nuclear waste at the site where they planned to build ICBM facilities under the icecap. They removed the reactor when the project was cancelled due to ice movement but left the waste and other major debris from the project.
The reduction in thickness of the icecap due to global warming means there is a significant chance of it all being exposed over the next decade or two. Something the US confidently expected to never happen. I understand the Greenlanders have been monitoring its steady progress across the icecap by ground radar survey since they discovered it again a decade or more ago.

We see something similar in Scotland with Americans "returning" and desperate to visit the site of the Battle of Dunbar - They expect regular buses from Princes St/Waverley Station, a fully staffed "welcome centre" and regular re-enactments. Instead of the full "forging of the nation" experience, they find it is a pain in the ass to get to, involves quite some walking and is amongst the least well-remembered battles in Scottish history. Of the two small monuments, one is a away down a tiny single track by a big quarry and the other is served by a 1-car max layby on a re-aligned slip road to the A1. The one and only re-enactment anyone knows about was back in the early 2000s before the quarry hole flooded much of the remaining battlefield
The historic background is that this was when Cromwell brought the New Model Army to Scotland, thrashed everyone in his path and partially recovered his costs by selling a very substantial amount of the prisoners taken into indentured servitude in the Carolinas and other places, thus making it amongst the first instances of major Scottish migration to the Americas. There are now many descendants!
Their shock at not finding the full "forging of a nation" experience is palpable..!

I doubt it since the Danes are racists to theirr core. Greenland would do well to be rid of Denmark , it's joke of a Navy and it's inbred king

Was that zone not established to protect Greenland's waters when the Grand Banks/Northwestern Atlantic fishery showed the first signs of impending collapse in the late 1970s/early1980s?
The initial response to the plummeting catches was to start eyeing-up the Greenland waters as an alternative fishing ground but catches rose again before collapsing completely about a decade later and are still in a slow recovery phase even today.

Off topic again, I never understood the attraction of this place. Why people would come out of their way to bumfuckville just to look at a church? After flying across half the world.

That's interesting.
I imagine they underestimate the sheer quantity of places of some historical significance here compared to the US, it isn't possible to give every place of some significance the full tourist treatment.

They’ll be safe as long as they allow teachers to carry firearms and kids to wear rucksacks with armoured plates in them. So appealing.

I’ve seen that signposted and assumed it’s to do with WW2, as plenty of troops in this part of the world pre D-Day but looking at your link I have the wrong idea. I could understand D-Day as there would be a living memory connection. But seems it is for some founding father equivalent.Off topic again, I never understood the attraction of this place.

My understanding* is that until the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea there was no internationally agreed standard regulating territorial waters for fishing and other purposes.
* which I'd be happy to have corrected or clarified

We're a big, important, powerful country, these areas around us are our sphere of influence, and we should have the final say over how they are run, up to and including invading them if that serves our strategic needs.
I struggle to see a fundamental difference between Trump and Putin on this point.

Hopefully Greenlanders can leverage the situation to get themselves a better deal with Denmark.

For number 4, I think Denmark would need a say on Greenland as they basically own it and it would'nt look good if another NATO country invaded anothers terrority.
