Imagine a chessboard 
with the US as white and Russia as black. The US is thinking about making a bold move (taking Greenland) but it's not clear if it's a real game or just a bluff 
.
Turner says tariffs are like a pawn (Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution), but Trump thinks he can use them to checkmate Russia (Greenland). The problem is, nobody knows what's really at play here
.
I think it's cool that Turner pointed out the international trade authority and sanctions power, but still, this feels like a gamble. If US doesn't negotiate with Greenlanders (the other side of the board), they'll just end up losing 
.
What if Russia is thinking "aha! They're just trying to distract us while we take over someplace else"
?
Turner's right that security requires engagement, but can we really trust Trump to make good decisions on this one? The American public seems to think not 70% of people don't want funds for Greenland and 86% don't want military force 
.
Let's just hope this isn't a game of Russian roulette (for everyone)
