I genuinely do not understand the defense argument. They've given up on the "China takes Greenland" scenario for obvious reasons (namely they'd need to send ships out of the most contested and well-defended waters in the world, go through the Panama canal(or horn), and then cross the entire Atlantic without attracting a B-2 run. But Russia would need to either go through the arctic (and put their entire fleet in a slow moving line behind an icebreaker) or somehow sneak past NATO installations in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland without being bombed. And even if Russia managed to somehow avoid the inevitable airstrikes on their fleet, they'd end up starting WWIII, in which case why not just fully deploy everywhere?
It's purely a post hoc justification for Trump's greed
Yeah, Russia at least has the better excuses
Even then, there is someone at Whiteman AFB salivating over the idea of a Russian strike group in a slow moving line behind an Arktika class icebreaker
