Subject: Re: war with Denmark or Panama??
The United States is an Arctic power; its direct access to the region and national security objectives in the Arctic give the United States a say in the region’s future.
All understandable. We already have a military base on Greenland (Space Force). Negotiating with Greenland, Denmark and NATO to establish a more robust ground/air/sea presence would be in everyone’s interests. But threatening to invade/annex/buy Greenland simply reveals Trump’s dictatorial tendencies and reduces the chances for a strategic partnership in the region.
He seems to think that the same intimidation tactics he used in New York real estate and court room lawfare can work in international diplomacy.
That’s a recipe for disaster and turning the US into a pariah nation.
But it’s certainly how Putin does things.
