As usual, Trump is full of it. There’s no easy money in Greenland. It’s REALLY FKN cold, infrastructure limited, no roads, ice and permafrost.
The second part of his statement is TRUE: they want interceptors, radars, and probably even nukes up there, while putting pressure on Russia’s Northern Sea Route. And ultimately launching decapitation strikes on Russia and China. Yes you read right.
Think about it: he’s literally suggesting his “good friends” as hes claimed in the past, Putin and Xi might attack the US from that direction. A literal thermonuclear war, but hey, they’re good friends! WTF twilight zone shit is that!?
But FYI, attacks don’t have to come over Greenland via ICBMs and bombers. Russia obviously has nuke subs (many of which are based right across street from Greenland at Kola Peninsula), but theyre developing nuclear powered cruise missiles and underwater drones with virtually unlimited range that can theoretically circumnavigate the south pole.
ICBMs are still the bulk of Russias arsenal though, so yeah this is 99% about Golden Dome and NATO launching an offensive against Russia and China.
