US President Donald Trump’s abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3 has emboldened him to proceed with the annexation of Greenland, a Danish-owned, self-governed territory, spelling the effective end of NATO and furthering Russia’s war aims in Ukraine, experts tell Al Jazeera.
“The move on Venezuela illustrates the Trump administration’s determination to dominate the Western Hemisphere – of which Greenland geographically is a part,” said Anna Wieslander, Northern Europe director for the Atlantic Council, a think tank.
“If the United States decides to attack another NATO country, then everything would stop – that includes NATO and therefore post-World War II security,” Frederiksen said.
“The pandering to Trump has been an element of our strategy over the last year, leaving observers hoping, but not entirely trusting, that another element of the strategy is preparing urgently for the final rupture with the United States,” Giles said.
Giles told Al Jazeera that Europe’s best option was to place a military deterrent on Greenland now, believing that putting allied troops in the Baltic States and Poland after 2017 deterred a Russian attack there.
You really think they would give the money to them before Greenland joined? And in fact - once it joined who actually guarantees they’d get it, lol. They might just claim, this is part of the infrastructure the US provides for Greenland
They won’t provide any infrastructure though. They’ll be happy to say it’s for the “service” of administrating Greenland and for the “security” provided.
I do not think they will be offering everyone in Greenland a million dollars.
He already offered 100k, but what is an offer from a grifter well known for not paying his bills worth?
Yeah exactly.
