<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis equation relates a territory’s area to its coastline. When we refer to the Intensity of Geopolitical Power Index created by ICGER based on this equation, the intensity of the geopolitical power of the United States is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where MY (Mega-Youssef) is the unit used to measure the intensity of geopolitical power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fundamental intensity of Canada’s geopolitical power is measured at G = 304.7 MY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the fundamental intensity of Greenland’s geopolitical power is calculated, it is found to be G = 63.6 MY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The measurement further shows that Greenland’s fundamental geopolitical power exceeds that of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Greenland is incorporated into the United States, the resulting geopolitical power intensity becomes G = 98 MY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At that level, the United States surpasses Russia in fundamental geopolitical power and likewise overtakes China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Canada is then incorporated into the combined entity (United States + Greenland), the resulting geopolitical power becomes G = 402.7 MY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When comparing these values to the ICGER Intensity of Geopolitical Power Index state rankings, it becomes evident that the U.S. geopolitical power nearly matches the combined power of most countries, making it an effectively undefeatable geopolitical force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This framework offers a theoretical rationale for President Trump\u2019s and his administration\u2019s push to include Canada and Greenland in the United States, extending beyond their material resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strategically, adding Canada and Greenland would allow the U.S. to establish missile-defense systems on nearby Arctic land, enabling the interception of ICBMs from Russia, China, and North Korea. It would also allow the U.S. to deploy forward-based platforms for strategic missile systems like Trident II, supporting Trump\u2019s claim that \u201cwe need Greenland, it is extremely important strategically right now\u2026 we need it from a national security standpoint.\u201d These actions would give the U.S. new geographic threat vectors against rivals, transforming the global strategic balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The strategic importance of Greenland and Canada grows even more when their energy and mineral resources are included in the analysis. These resources are vital for sustaining U.S. economic and technological leadership, especially in relation to China. Greenland alone is estimated to have around 17.5 billion barrels of oil and 148 trillion cubic feet of natural gas (approximately 41 trillion cubic meters). Canada possesses roughly 171 billion barrels of oil and 38.7 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, along with Greenland\u2019s significant reserves of strategic minerals like lithium, cobalt, graphite, and uranium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, including Greenland and Canada is a matter of U.S. national security, dictated by the fundamental laws shaping the political sphere. American leaders follow these laws, even if they remain unaware of their existence or how they operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/eng.icgers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-7.png\")
