The only reason US needs to control Greenland instead of a NATO ally is to threaten Europe.

Greenland is far away from Russia. BS that Russia and China have a presence in Arctic is that they are cooperating on projects in Russian waters. Any use of Greenland waters for shipping will be to deliver to eastern North America from China, and so inherently welcome.

There will be zero resource development projects in Canada or Greenland by countries that have enemy status with NATO, because of extreme expense of shipping resources back to Russia, and extreme risk of sabotage of projects.

    Born too late to die in a US-led war, born too early to die in a US-led war, born just in time to die in a US-led war.

      There is unanimous opposition among NATO members, except perhaps bitch Canada, to US takeover of Greenland. Rutte is saying here, that opposition would not be a NATO operation. Greece and Turkey fight regularly (both NATO members) and NATO doesn’t say shit.

      Expelling US from NATO would change NATO response. But all NATO representatives are CIA appointed.
