Then there is the argument about Greenland's geographical location and its strategic importance. Certainly having Chinese bases in Greenland would be a threat to the US, but why would Denmark, a NATO ally, allow China to build bases in Greenland? And what actions has China taken or insinuated that would lead us to believe they want a base in Greenland? None as far as I have researched. The same argument applies to Russia, only Russia is less in need of Greenland since they can already fly directly over the North polar region to reach the US. Furthermore, the US already has bases in Iceland, a close neighbor of Greenland.
And this argument, as I have stated before, can be made about Russia and Ukraine and China and Taiwan? Ukraine sits on Russia border and many Ukrainians speak Russia as their natural language. Imagine Russia's argument when NATO threatens to put bases in Ukraine.
You're a smart guy Creeper. But you sure do have a lot of questions even after Trump has been right about so many things.
None of us here even gave any thought to earth minerals prior to the Trump administration. We were solely dependent on China who most probably bought/bribed numerous US politicians. If Trump says we need control of Greenland for national security, I believe him. I mean, do we really want to trust the Europeans? The same Europeans who were buying Russian oil and funding the war in Ukraine? All the while wanting to drag the US into the conflict? Fuck the Europeans.
I lived in Europe for 4 years with my wife and first child. Don't fool yourself....they hate us (America). The whole purpose of the European Union was to compete with the US. They just want us for a security blanket and we give it to them while they stab us in the back. Their utopian socialist societies where they want to have 4 day work weeks, month long vacations in August, "free" healthcare, "free college" etc while the US bears the burden of their security. Fuck them. Trump sees right through this and warned them in his first term about their treachery like buying Russian oil and they laughed at him. I'm of European decent but I have no great love for the Europeans.
And while I'm at it....who's Denmark? What the fuck to they bring to the table? All these countries weren't even paying for their own NATO defense and I've read where the Chinese were branching into Greenland and making deals (maybe mineral deals). Just Google "do the Chinese have mineral deals with Greenland?"
And this idea that we could "work out a deal with NATO for bases" is bullshit. We used to have a large naval base in Athens and the Greeks shut it down and kicked the Americans out, all the while wanting us (America) to protect them from Turkish incursions into Greek territory. Fuck these people. Trump wanted permanent and long lasting demands/deals and I think he got them. He knows he can't count on the Europeans and he's absolutely right.
