This gives Russia excellent cover in overextending their territory with their arctic oil exploration and infrastructure development. Next Greenland will say "What arctic land claims?"

Would that even be possible since Greenland is just part of Denmark?

It'd be like Hawaii saying "Go on, Botswana. Our ocean is all yours."

If I were Russia I would be much less worried of conflict if competing oil companies were not bankrolling opposition to my land grab.

Greenland isn't allowed to do that; their foreign relations are mostly controlled by Denmark.
