Summary
Trump stated the U.S. will “go as far as we have to go” to gain control of Greenland, citing national and international security needs.
JD Vance will visit Greenland’s Pituffik military base, scaling back a broader visit amid backlash from Greenland and Denmark.
Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede condemned the move as “aggressive pressure” and insisted that “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.”
Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, asserting that U.S. control is essential for security.
Putin is mostly interested in the former USSR. Greenland wasn’t part of that. Putin will gladly let Trump do whatever he wants with Greenland because if Trump takes action that automatically dissolves NATO as we know it and basically forces a war between the US and the rest of NATO which allows him to basically recreate the USSR by force while NATO trips over its own feet. Granted, Putin (just like any other world leader) would gladly take whatever he can get. But he doesn’t need Greenland. There’s enough Russian territory that Putin already controls that will also become prime real estate at the same time, making a Greenland annexation largely pointless. He wouldn’t need to worry about sharing Greenland with the others in the cabal when he’s got enough of his own to make Greenland seem like Gilligan’s Island by comparison.
And yeah, we all know Trump’s a russian asset. That’s been known for years.
And I disagree about the cabals not caring about Greenland. They know where there’s money to be made. Right now, much of Greenland is uninhabitable. Which means it’s also cheap. So if they get in on the ground floor now, what will that land be worth in 10 years, when more people start feeling more effects of climate change and there’s more of an eye on Greenland as a possible refuge? 20 years? Whenever that land becomes viable. That’s a lot of land, and therefore a lot of money. Whether for short term profits, long-term hedging of bets against the very climate change they’re fueling, or a combination of both, I can guarantee you there are a lot of people interested.
With that said, I think we both ultimately agree on who will benefit the most; we are merely disagreeing over how much each of them will benefit. And I think we can both agree that no matter which one of them win, we lose.
