Trump knows good real estate \u2014 and he knows Greenland’s value to national security<\/h3>\n

Trump has lit a bonfire under Denmark and NATO to spur much-needed progress to counter Russia and China<\/em>

“The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building,” President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Trump is right. Grab a globe and look down from the North Pole, or check out this official Pentagon map. You will see that Greenland is pivotal to the Arctic front. Greenland\u2019s eastern coast guards the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom or GIUK. This is the entry gate to the Atlantic for Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s nuclear-armed submarines. Greenland hosts important early warning radar sites because its field of view covers so much of the bomber and missile flight routes from Russia and China. No Greenland, no Golden Dome missile shield.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Trump lit a bonfire under Denmark and NATO to spur much-needed progress to counter aggressive moves by Russia and China.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump is going to shore up the Northern flank for his Golden Dome missile shield and deny Russia and China access to strategic resources there, and he’s going to do it with the Europeans or without them.<\/p>\n

The sooner they recognize this fact and cut a deal the better off all will be, and this is what Trump really wants. Instead they send forces to augment Denmark’s meager presence with their Operation Arctic Endurance<\/em> exercise. This deployment is a response to Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland<\/p>\n

The intent is to strengthen military cooperation among European allies and support Denmark’s territorial integrity. How exactly 15 troops from France (no, really) will accomplish this is left unsaid. The 13 Germany sent can keep them company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
