Greenland

[Ron in Regina]

Good morning all. What id Trump's Greenland game is really just another bait and switch tactic? What is he really after?

Good question. Great question actually. Currently, if Trump through American involvement in NATO has access to have military bases in Greenland, and more if he asks for them…what does he want because this rules out the military threat to Greenland other than by America?

From Captain Obvious, Prime Minister Mark Carney called Donald Trump’s talk of using economic coercion to acquire Greenland a worrisome escalation, saying he plans to tell the U.S. President the future security of the Arctic island can be safeguarded by NATO.…as if that hadn’t occurred or come up yet.

If the U.S. We’re to somehow to gain control of Greenland , they will more than likely build ice breakers and keep the seas open . I do not see the EU doing the same .

What is preventing the US from doing that right now, as a member of NATO?

Why , if they are already distancing themselves from NATO ?

Why , if they are already distancing themselves from NATO ?

They are distancing themselves from NATO why again? Over what again?

Let me just make sure I’ve got this straight.

…if Trump through American involvement in NATO has access to have military bases in Greenland, and more if he asks for them…what does he want because this rules out the military threat to Greenland other than by America?

On Wednesday, Trump was asked if he was willing to leave the NATO alliance if the U.S. takes over Greenland?

“Certainly I’m not going to give up options but Greenland is very important for the national security including of Denmark,” he told reporters in the Oval Office…but if Trump (or America via Trump even though it’s a NATO member) takes Greenland, does he then get to choose what options he retains?

So…essentially…Trump/America are one of the 34 countries in NATO, and then Trump wants to annex/buy/take by force Greenland from another NATO nation, and is already threatening several NATO & EU nations with economic sanctions if they don’t agree to given him wants, that he already has access to…then he’ll maybe not be in NATO unless NATO agrees he can attack/coerce another NATO nation…with NATO being a mutual security pact between all NATO nations?
Something like that?

NATO should have expired after the fall of the USSR . It has just become another unaccountable bureaucracy with America packing the freight .
