Donald Trump’s desire to annex Greenland will not be thwarted and there could be meaningful U.S. action related to the Arctic island within “weeks or months,” according to a senior administration official.
That’s the view of Thomas Dans, Trump’s Arctic commissioner. He’s regarded as one of the main proponents of the president’s interest in Greenland, an idea first brought to Trump by billionaire and former diplomat Ronald Lauder.
Dans has been working on the issue since 2020.
If this happens, I predict that Trump will make his move in late October. It’s the sweet spot for diverting everyone’s attention to NATO’s response. It also gives a few weeks for Trump to launch a followup attack on Iceland or Ireland if NATO doesn’t hit back.
Wow, that is a lot of planning. Like, more than he can do.
It happens when the absolute worst news hits about how he harmed children.
Could be next week for all we know.
Hello? It’s Greenland. The sun disappears around then, which will favour NATO forces. The USA military isn’t well trained or equipped for that, compared to Denmark/Canada/Finland/Sweden etc., and oddly has a personnel deficit in terms of training and snowmobiles if it’s fullblown war with NATO’s remnants. Greenland is a special environment, and kills equipment and noobs alike.
They have to try in the late spring, then act like they own it with bluster and bullshit.
As usual, the corpulent US military will be able to occupy the nation easily in a few days, but holding it? While things fall apart at home, and strategic priorities pop up in the pacific and Latin America?
Huh. I suppose that means Greenland in April, and then Canada in October.
Right, but they’d have an even harder time holding Canada, plus it would start a civil war, so not as likely.
Because attacking a friendly allied (Greenland) is just met with a shoulder shrug among the American public…
I think you’re being sarcastic? Sure the end of NATO and subsequent murderous imperialism might trigger a major political rupture in the USA, especially when the economic losses and body counts come in, but there’s a possibility the magafascists can spin things along with just a lot of dissent and lost trade. If civil war doesn’t start over that, pretty sure some states would move to secede over an invasion of Canada.
An Austrian painter made it look like his country was attacked, so he could justify invading them. We could see something similar this time again.
