Those are not connected. Taiwan is ours; the more threat we take it under, the more prestige in the prize. Russia will take all of Ukraine if they have the determination to push for it. It may not be today or tomorrow but as long as they hold out and refuse any peace offer, no one can outlast them there; NATO will bleed dry if they try. Neither Ukraine nor Taiwan are within America's control or in America's right to change. Never allow your enemies to make a deal with you over what is yours. "What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable" is something we press our adversaries to, never something we let happen to ourselves. There is no deal; we fight to wrest it from the enemy, and we use this fight to light a fire in our hearts to be better than them once and for all, something we would not have achieved if our goals were just given to us.In my view it's probably fine to let them have it in exchange for dropping threats to Taiwan and maybe letting Russia have all of Ukraine/the coast.
Dealing with the Taiwan reintegration will take a lot of attention from China, and same with US if they get Greenland. It could be a chance for both sides to cool off rather than go into a hot war. China doesn't mind US having an influence sphere in the Atlantic as long as our influence sphere in Asia is unrestrained. De facto speaking, Asia territory is worth a lot more than Atlantic territory.
The most dangerous/competent thing Trump can do is to focus on fixing corruption during a thaw period and then come back with a stronger US. Having them distracted with cartels and Greenland so they don't do that is maybe good.
Greenland is also not in our control or our right to decide. I quite frankly think this is all old man bullshit rambling. But if it does move in that direction because either the people in Denmark or Greenland couldn't hold steady under threat, China's not in any place to prevent it. Nor is it that important. Greenland has a population of 56k despite being the size of a continent for a reason: it's completely useless.
