Greenland Deal and Why it Matters

Major congratulations to the Trump administration,. After nine months of high-level negotiations — without a leak — Greenland is officially and *permanently* a protectorate of the US. It’s not called that, but functionally that is exactly what just happened, including all the waters around Greenland.

Unrestricted military bases, activity, and control, with neither Copenhagen or Nuuk having any say in the matter. Ever. Economic development MAY be cooperative when mutually advantageous, but may also be unilaterally American.

Canada’s Prime Minister Carney, who thought he was in the driver’s seat especially with his proposed “associate” membership in the EU — which had a great deal to do with Greenland — was totally out-manœuvred, and had no clue discussions were even happening. A Double-A hitter going up against Major League pitching.

As an Important side note, with Greenland secured, Canada is now completely irrelevant to the Department of War’s ‘Golden Dome’ space defemce shield for anything coming from Russia or China. It was no accident that just before the Greenland Protectorate announcement, the US Space Force announced that it *already* had an assortment of offensive and defensive weapons actively on orbit.

Nearly perfect interlocking “field of fire”. which in this case is actually more useful for *incoming target* solutions. My map below shows this clearly. This is one of the top achievements of the  current administration, and anyone who attempts to reverse it should be hanged for genuine Treason,  not the social-media type.

Greenland Deal

Trump just struck a deal with Denmark and Greenland for a permanent, expanded U.S. military presence in Greenland, while barring non-NATO military bases. Greenland remains under Danish sovereignty. But geographically, look at what Greenland is: Canada’s eastern Arctic flank, facing Russia across the Arctic.
                                                                                           Now look at the whole map.
                                                                                             Alaska to our west.
Greenland to our east.
Russia across the Arctic.
Canada in the middle.
                                                                                                   That matters more today because the security environment is changing quickly.
                                                                                           Yesterday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that intelligence from NATO, Ukraine and the U.S. indicates Russia may be preparing drone or rocket attacks against NATO countries while attempting to make them appear accidental. Today, France warned that Russian hybrid attacks involving drones, cyberattacks and sabotage are intensifying.
                                                                  Canada clearly recognizes the Russian threat. Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Ottawa has committed more than $26 billion in military, financial, humanitarian and other support. And today Brussels confirmed Canada is negotiating to join the EU’s €90-billion Ukraine support loan.
                                                                        There is a connection here that I think has been getting lost.
Canada’s own Arctic Foreign Policy says Russia represents a
“generational geopolitical challenge,” warns that Russia has spent more than a decade modernizing its Arctic military infrastructure, and identifies growing Russian-Chinese military cooperation in the North. It specifically says Canada needs to be strong in the North American Arctic and work closely with the United States while maintaining strong relationships with its Nordic NATO allies. – Ryan Williams, Canada
