Why Greenland

[727Sky]

Greenland finds itself at the center of a lot of geopolitical attention. US President Donald Trump’s push to control it has sparked tension with NATO ally Denmark and reinforced Europe’s growing wariness that the US is no longer interested in their security. But why is the world suddenly so interested in this remote island in the far north? And what do the people in Greenland want for their own future? 00:00 Why Greenland's location matters 06:45 Melting ice opens economic opportunities 11:22 The complicated history with Denmark 12:48 What Greenland wants

[EndtheMadnessNow]

The United States offered to buy Greenland from Denmark in 1867, 1910, in 1946 for $100,000,000, 1955, 2019, and 2025. Denmark rejected all offers. Back in 1946 & 1955 it was all about defense against Russia.

One theory of many floating around today is Trump wants Greenland to build a missile defense system. Russian ICBMs sail over Greenland before coming into the USA.

Another theory is a projection of power of the Western hemisphere.

Another is to build a huge shipping port that the US of course will own and share with China & Russia once the wars are over. Trump is going to make some sort of deal with China this year. Likely given he's traveling to Beijing in April and another trip later this year.

I have no idea and not sure about any of those theories.

The reason is not security as Denmark would allow U.S to build military bases in Greenland . This is something else , and that is being dump motherfucker and think stealing from neighbor is okey , imperialistic mind set .

Danish troops have law from 1952 that require immediately counter-attack invading forces without awaiting orders. This mean  if U.S will send forces to Greenland to invade it by force , the danish troops are then oblicated to respond . 

Denmark has been strong U.S and Nato ally long long time . This type of backstabbing against ally is dumbest shit ever . Greenland is not like some third world communist shithole which kills and torture citizens .

Maybe Trump wants to end NATO , which would also be dumb move . 

The stubid mindset Trump has is no different that of Chinese sending their agressive floating ships to bullying other neighbors in South China Sea and beyond . The man has no class , no style and no basic manners .

It's all about the rare earth minerals.

Same with Venezuela.
(besides the threat of China, Iran and Russia playing together on that playground)
