It is not "taking over" or "annexing". It is invading. A military ally, at that.
And it is not "tapping into [...] natural resources". It is plundering their natural resources.
None of these hypotheticals are consensual. There is no plan for a freely agreed-upon bilateral agreement. This is about invading and pillaging a foreign land. Whether it is Greenland, Canada, or any other country.

I think that’s harder than just buying/hypnotizing/invading/whatever.
If we exit the Antarctic treaty, then so will everyone else and there’s multiple competing claims.
