Every piece of reporting I've seen on this is drastically understating the scale. These are from Grok's replies within a single minute. Time-to-reply is degrading because it has such a backlog of NCII/CSAM requests to fulfill. Conservatively I estimate it is producing more than 5000 of these per day

"The report concluded that it remained unclear whether or not US intelligence would be able to access the data, despite Palantir’s official reassurances otherwise. The 🇨🇭army also found other issues, in terms of its cost & the fact that it might require Palantir specialists to be permanently onsite"

Trump doesn't 'need Greenland for national security' because 1) Putin is his bestie who he fawns all over and rolls out the red carpet for in Alaska (and refuses to help Ukraine fight them) = Russia is no threat
2) US + Russia could stop Chinese vessels sailing through the Bering Straight.
