I’m convinced that Trump only wants Greenland so that he has an even biglier piece of stolen land than Putin has with Ukraine. It’s all a tiny dick-measuring contest.
Putin realizes this fact and puts out a message like this to remind his subordinate (Trump) of his place.
I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure it’s because, in spite of publicly denying its existence, they are very aware that climate change will make once difficult to tame lands very highly valuable in the near future. A good deal of all that ice and snow to the north will become much less of an issue within many of our lifetimes.
I was not aware of this projected timeline, so thank you for sharing. Still, Canada and Greenland each have a lush of natural resources, and the promise of more down the line (even if it is a good ways down that line), making them desirable assets for people who seek and wish to maintain power.

It will take between 1,000 and 15,000 years for the ice to melt on Greenland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_ice_sheet#Thresholds_for_total_ice_sheet_loss
They’re getting in on the ground floor.
