You are right. Buying Greenland would crop tge red line.

EDIT: Overall, this might be the single most complex and comprehensive Ukrainian drone attack of the entire war. There are places where Russian air defense was successful, but there are many where it was not. Ukraine's growing ability to attack inside Russia is becoming one of the primary levers it can pull to try to persuade Russia to pursue a just peace.

ISW Update Jan 13

Key Takeaways:

Russian forces recently cut the T-0405 Pokrovsk-Kostyantynivka highway east of Pokrovsk and the T-0406 Pokrovsk-Mezhova highway southwest of Pokrovsk as part of their efforts to envelop Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad.

Russian forces likely intend to interdict Ukrainian ground lines of communications (GLOCs) into Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad in order to force Ukrainian units to withdraw from the towns in future months.

Russian state-owned energy corporation Gazprom acknowledged that it is considering reducing the size of its central office staff by 40 percent, indicating that Gazprom may be concerned about the long-term effects that the war in Ukraine and the reduction in Russian gas exports to Europe will have on the Russian gas industry.

Russian forces recently advanced in the Kharkiv, Borova, Pokrovsk, Kurakhove, and Velyka Novosilka directions.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) reportedly announced that North Korean casualties in Kursk Oblast total roughly 3,000 killed and wounded.

I've seen a couple of articles the past few weeks where analysts believe they will not be able to make a$40 billion payment to the Sovereign Fund in 2025.

If we're going to force someone to sell us an Island against their will to station troops on it for the inevitable point where we have to fight Russia
Well, let's see
1) We aren't forcing someone to sell an island
2) If the "someone" you're referencing is Denmark, that ship sailed in 2019. We will be in Greenland, and Denmark won't get a penny.
3) No one is going to do anything against anyone's will.
4) If there is an "inevitable point where we have to fight Russia," the entirety of the US, Russia, and Europe will look like the Pacific Palisades, with the habitability of the Chernobyl surrounds. That is not why Greenland is important.

Rare fuel? I'm guessing just a narrow range of carbon chain molecules in the kerosene range with extremely low sulfur, similar to what they use for rocket engines. Now that is just a guess.

However, that's around 3.5 million barrels gone, and they likely have no need other than one small hydroprocessing unit in a single refinery for this type of fuel if considered rare.

To my knowledge, the US has only one for such kerosene based RP (rocket propellant) fuel.and it's tiny in San Antonio.

Yes, that's what I thought too. Military grade turbine fuel, something similar to JP-4, with almost negative sulfur content. You don't need gum and varnish issues going heavy at 40,000 feet. Won't explode like gasoline either but will be much tougher to replace. Especially if the desulfurization units were hit as well.... One can hope I guess.
