Subject: Re: Why Greenland?
If you want to intercept a ballistic missile, the best point to do so is at the apogee, at the top of the flight path. The shortest route for an interceptor to get to an apogee is from directly below the apogee.

That’s where Greenland is.

Where is this missile originating from? Also, are you looking at a Mercator projection map? Remember, the world is spherical, not flat. If you look at a globe, the only missile that would pass over Greenland would originate from Iran and also pass over Poland. The US has had antimissile defences in Poland for a while .
