According to a senior official, from the US perspective, a takeover of Greenland by the United States is currently the only way to address the long-term security risks surrounding the island, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
“We continue to believe that this is the best way to meet NATO’s defence requirements with regard to Greenland,” he told journalists yesterday ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara.
At the same time, he said that other options were also being examined. He did not specify what these might entail. The senior government official pointed out that there was “intense naval activity” in the region around Greenland and that US President Donald Trump was seeking a “permanent” solution.
“So far, we see the acquisition of Greenland by the United States as the only solution,” the official added.

there must be new epstein info coming out.
The Department of Justice is refusing to hand over redacted information from investigative files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, despite an order from a federal judge to either release the documents or explain why they were withheld.
US-Regime: Time to throw up the smokescreen again! Muhahaha, no one will ever see through this!
Rest of the World: C’mon, again? Why even bother? It’s not like there are any consequences to worry about for your deranged billionaires. So…
i hate how people are saying everything the US president does and says is a distraction, even if its worse than the thing its supposed to be a distraction of
its like eating a couple of babies and now every time you blow up a hospital people say its all an attempt to stop people from talking about the babies eaten
An attack on Greenland is an attack on a founding member of NATO, since the island belongs to Denmark despite its autonomy. The U.S. won’t attack NATO. Why would it? Not even that orange pedo would be that unbelievably stupid.
This nonsense was already ridiculous the last time around. I don’t understand how anyone can take this seriously.
History is going to prove you wrong.
The U.S. won’t attack NATO
No problem at all. He would simply redefine the term ‘attack’ first. And on the next day, he would publish 2 more pages from the Epstein files, then nobody talks about Greenland anymore.
Why would it?
Because he can.
Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty states that an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against all members, and triggers an obligation for each member to come to its assistance.
If there were no straight up declaration of war by all NATO member states, the U.S. would lose its closest allies, and sanctions would be imposed that would cost everyone involved a great deal of money.
“Because he can” won’t be enough for the people who put Trump in the position he’s in.
Oh yes, I know that.
Ok, which one of you mentioned the tRUMP-EPSTEIN files again? Come on, own up!!
The US is becoming the new Israel. Which itself became Nazi Germany decades ago.
Today i learned and that is why i share it: The irony is that it was zionist nationalists and the socialist party mapam that didnt didnt want a dualnational state nore work together with there present arabs
Greenland needs to kick the USA off the land. And tell the US they will only entertain talks about letting them back in the country when all the unredacted Epstein files have been released.
What exactly are these long-term security risks surrounding the island?
The biggest strategic reason for the US is missile defence. It lays pretty much exactly between Russia and the US when taking the shortest path (over the north pole)
America has existing agreements with the danish government to put bases there for detection and interception etc.
However there is one line the Danish government has: no storing of nuclear weapons in Greenland. America was already found to have broken this agreement and had to remove them some time ago. I imagine this is the part they care about
People also write about mineral rights and stuff but imo that’s secondary, there really isn’t that much worth mining these days, especially not given the cost of inland expeditions in Greenland
People finding out Trump is a pedophile.
I mean, it’s under threat from the US. That’s a pretty big risk.
The risks are that the billionaires need the island to become more bigger billionaires.
Same as Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction.
Russia and China also have an interest in it, which stresses out the Americans
Epstein, Epstein, alles muss versteckt sein. Epstein, Epstein—everything has to be hidden, based on a german childrens rhyme.
best way to meet NATO’s defence requirements
So it’s time to no longer let them define NATO’s defence requirements.
They want it no other way.
What now? Didn’t Orange recently stated that he won’t help NATO countries anymore and will withdraw at least part of the troops from Europe? And now he is “concerned” about our security?
It just didn’t go like he thought it would and now he is: Damn, what do i do now?
Trump is the best thing that could have happend for europe, that’s for sure!
Also for the environment, it seems. 🙃
Make America Great Britain again!
So why is it convenient to mention Greenland exactly?
It’s more convenient not to mention the Epstein Files
Don’t they have Thule AFB already? Isn’t that enough?
Even if it wasn’t enough, they could just ask Denmark nicely and probably they could just get more.
Yeah the Danish were lenient enough with the US before. Had Trump been nice and not have made demands for territory, Denmark would have probably allowed a few more bases.
For now, the US isn’t going anywhere. Its bogged down in an immensely unpopular war that’s keeping its naval assets tied in the Persian Gulf. I am not expecting anything to happen until November.
And even if a peace deal somehow materializes, the US has already burned up most of its strategic reserves of interceptors and long range missiles and its naval and air assets were already overdue for maintenance at the start of the war. Not to mention its naval and air bases in the Middle East cannot be rebuilt within running logistics through NATO countries.
Unfortunately the US has… what… 7 fleets(?) fully capable of carrying out a full-scale war on their own?
JFC we’re doing what?
