## Resource

Jim and Curtis welcome Senior Fellow, Christopher Stone, to examine Greenland’s growing strategic importance in U.S. Golden Dome missile defense and deterrence. They unpack common misconceptions about Greenland’s role, discuss sovereignty and self‑determination issues, and explore how emerging threats—such as hypersonic weapons and Arctic militarization—are reshaping deterrence, space policy, and great‑power competition in the High North.
