Hungary’s smallest neighbour boldly defies Trump’s will on Greenland

1. I declare! If this doesn’t give Trump sleepless nights, nothing will.

   Look, here’s what. Greenland is a strategically hugely important asset, maybe the most important in the northern hemisphere. SOMEBODY who is MUCH stronger than Denmark is going to end up controlling it in not-too-distant future. The only question that’s relevant in this whole “controversy” is this: Who do we want controlling it – Russia, China, or the U.S.? End of story.

   To me, the answer is obvious. Y.M.M.V.

   • Sounds exactly like Putin/Russian logic: “We must take Ukraine or else Nato/EU takes it.”

     How about the third option: Just leave sovereign countries alone – don’t invade them.

     ps. If you did not know, Greenland, as part of Denmark, is protected by Nato. So China/Russia would not try to invade it.

     • ‘Sounds exactly like Putin/Russian logic: “We must take Ukraine or else Nato/EU takes it.”

       Yes, Dear Ostanus, that is exactly what it is.

       The world is dividing into 5 or 6 major poles and nobody, particularly small countries, will be able to prevent that..

       Those who are smart, like the Hungarian prime minister, will focus on riding that wave to the benefit of their people – not trying to stop the wave and get hurt

     • ‘ps. If you did not know, Greenland, as part of Denmark, is protected by Nato. So China/Russia would not try to invade it.’

       You must not allow yourself to think in such an unrealistic way, Dear Ostanus.

       NATO, without US backing is not only paltry, it has no way to project combat power across oceans.

       Greenland will belong to the disUnited States before Trump leaves office.

       For that matter, most of Canada will belong to us, as well.

   • 💯!!

   • I totally agree with you, Dear Michael.

     Though I am a fan of Russian culture, we still have to realize that we have to answer Russia excellent development in the Arctic.

     The notion that Denmark has some overriding priority to Greenland ownership, or that Denmark, with a one tugboat navy, is going to secure our flanks is to ridiculous to even contemplate.

     Trump is right.

     Pay off the Greenland natives, handsomely, and move the U.S. Navy in.

     Lets mine Greenland for the incredible metals it is hiding, which will removed us from Russian and Chinese dependency.

2. The US signed an agreement with Denmark in 1951 giving it wide range to construct military installations in Greenland, station troops and operate with near total immunity. The US signed this agreement which explicitly recognized “the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark” and “the natural right of the competent Danish authorities to free movement everywhere in Greenland.” The US already has full latitude to station whatever it wants there but has chosen not to do so and only maintains maximum 200 troops in Thule. What Trump is doing has nothing to do with countering Russia or China. It is a naked imperialist land grab in complete violation of agreement it has signed with Denmark and in violation of the US agreement signed as part of NATO. Putin got what he wanted by promoting Trump to the presidency. What Trump is doing puts the existence of NATO at risk to the benefit of Russian imperialist expansion plans westward into Europe. Should Trump forcibly take the territory of a NATO member the organization will collapse and a new one will quickly have to be formed without the US. This will be Putin’s opening to attack the Baltics, Poland, and make a grab at Moldova. I trust this will also be to the satisfaction of Orban and his Putinist Fidesz party.

   • Yes, Dear Larry – the post WWII order is crumbling, and nothing signed during that era will be adhered to.

     Yes, it does make sense for Russia to regain Moldova, after retaking the Russian city of Odessa.

     • Dear Kremlin shit head. Russia is a barbaric country that cannot build its’ own nice house while it sees its’ neighbour build a mansion. It competes not by building a better life in Russia but by seeking to burn down its’ neighbour’s mansion. These are the lowest of the low. People with no morality. Russia sends tens of thousands of its’ men to die in Ukraine while it burns through its’ savings and hollows out its’ consumer economy while its’ military industry hits maximum ability and can go no further. Europe can stand on its’ own two feet and keep the Russian bastards out. Ukraine is doing a fine job fending the bastards off for four years while Russian has very little ingains to show after expending hundreds of billions of dollars and between 250,000 and over 300,000 dead. Putin won’t stop because it would show that he is so weak that he can’t take Ukraine. He will burn Russia from the inside out.

       • ‘Putin won’t stop because it would show that he is so weak that he can’t take Ukraine. He will burn Russia from the inside out.’

         No, Dear Larry – the reality, without subjective projection, is that Vladimir Putin inherited a Russia already burnt out by the Russian oligarchs serving The Western Elite.

         Though Russia never has been, nor ever will be, a panacea, Vladimir Putin has restored Russia to what it was before it was knocked over by The Western Elite in 1917, and then again in 1989.

         What exactly does that mean?

         Russia’s economy is no longer a weak gas station, as it was in 1992, and as many Westerners incorrectly like to say.

         Russia’s culture is well intact, starting with a vast resurgence of The Russian Orthodox Church.

         Russia’s military, particularly it’s submarine, missile, and ground forces, are now extremely strong.

         And, yes, with Vladimir Putin’s leadership Russia has returned to a leading role on the world stage, and is widely admired and respected throughout the world.

         No amount of negative personal feelings you have towards Russia can change any of this.

         In fact, nobody can do anything about this except accept it and work constructively with it.

         This world is now led by China, The United States, and Russia.

         It is that way.

         • “This world is now led by China, The United States, and Russia.”

           So you have read Orwell´s “1984”, where three totalitarian superstates rule the World. It is a great book about dystopian future. But it is just fiction. Just like you are, and your novellike AI comments, and your fantasies of the new world order.

       • ” 1.2 million total Russian casualties by early 2026, with over 400,000 killed. ” ( Aljazeera). ” 1.2 million total Russian casualties by early 2026, with over 400,000 killed,( according to BBC.)”

         ” exact numbers are hard to verify due to secrecy and propaganda, with figures often coming from intelligence estimates, independent media…..”

     • Such a Russian AI BOT you are Mouton!

       as much you try to hide it, it become more clear 😂

       • Ha ha. So obvious. Wonder what he’ll do when Ukraine comes marching into Red Square.

     • Are there Russian bots on all the news channels?

3. IMHO……
   The site admin should ban / edit out / delete these vitriolic comments from the above troop of baboons!

   And, why not let Trump takeover Aberbayjan?
   Let him look for it on the world map 😀
