CDR Salamander - Greenland: Belle of the Ball, with Dr. Elizabeth Buchanan--on Midrats

Is four months too short a turnaround for a guest on Midrats? Not if the topic at hand keeps running to the top of your read board.

From the unending diplomacy responding to the Trump Administration’s unending drive to get Greenland’s geography—and the resulting security—more firmly under American control, to the sitcom-worthy deployment of a couple of dozen “Coalition of the Freezing”—Greenland can’t-stop-won’t-stop from gathering eyeballs and attention.

So, we’re bringing back Elizabeth Buchanan for another visit. We’ll use her recent article in The Spectator as starting off point, A buyer’s guide to Greenland.

We go LIVE at 6pm Eastern. If you are reading this after the show, refresh the Substack page later Sunday night for the podcast audio.
