I never knew Greenland was important to the U.S. Never heard any past presidents or other politicians mention that we really needed Greenland. There must be more to this with Trump.
Ever hear of the very common map projection that makes Greenland look about 4 times larger than it actually is? Most high school geography classes talk about the apparent expansion of lands as latitude increases.
Pure illegal expansionism, similar to Hitler invading Poland. Trump has no excuse to attack Denmark and has not ruled out using the military for a take over. We'll see if NATO stands up for one of its own against one of its own. Part of the Trump plan is to use Greenland to break NATO.
Greenland is strategically important for early warning of missile attacks and as an outpost to monitor shipping through the GIUK gap. But the U.S already has a military base, Pituffik Space Base, dedicated to these tasks. More importantly Greenland has oil, gas and rare earth minerals, which Trump wants to control and profit from. But the main reason, as I stated, is probably to break NATO. Greenland's capitol, Nuuk, only has a population of 20,113. Venezuela's capitol, Caracas has a population of 2.9 million. Trump can easily invade Nuuk, capture Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and his wife and make up some erroneous reason they had to go. Like they're weak, or sleepy, or socialist, or liberal...take your pick.
I do believe he is only interested in Greenland for it mineral rights. The guy is nothing more than a common thief! It's just a pity that there is no one with the balls to stand up to the ****!
The report is he wants to buy Greenland..... but if they don't want to sell he'll invade anyway. And why would they want to sell it?
I do think people(even goverments/media/ect) are taking this bs to seriously...........the US cant take a country(EU/Nato) by force..not going to happen. The US already had(ww2) and still has bases in Greenland, it is mainlly about strategy and resources(and to piss off putin/xi) I do think with all the Trump(putin) bs.............we in the EU(like Trump says himself)..........let take care of ourselves,outside finance/coin/stupid rules/ect the EU makes. We might want to make our own EU army, wich we already can. West/north/south eu already have modern armies/nukes, just need to learn to coop a bit better F Trump/Putin and for form Xi.................if he tries vikings will come Mzzls
Nato Spokesman says if US takes over Greenland, say goodbye to all U.S. bases in Europe. Yup you read that right. They're promising to kick out every American soldier from Europe and take over all their military bases! "All your base are belong to us" as they say...
