BREAKING NEWS: White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said today (Beijing time January 7): "President Trump has clearly stated that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority for the United States, which is crucial for deterring our adversaries in the Arctic. The President and his team are discussing a range of options to achieve this important foreign policy goal, of course, the use of the US military remains one of the options available to the Commander-in-Chief."
[Witty] Comments: The White House has listed "capturing Greenland" as a national security priority, even threatening to use force, which openly exposes the hegemonic ambitions of the Trump administration - this Arctic stronghold, which possesses 150 million tons of rare earths and 17.5 billion barrels of oil reserves, has already been viewed by them as a "prize to be seized". The so-called "deterrence of adversaries" is just a cover, the real intention is to control the straits of the Arctic shipping routes and solidify the pivot of geopolitical hegemony. Greenland will not be the last target of Trump. Once the US takes over Greenland, Canada will be closer to becoming the 51st state of the US, because the US surrounds Canada from three directions (the mainland US, Alaska, and Greenland). Yesterday, several European countries issued a joint statement reaffirming the principle of sovereignty and expressing support for Denmark and Greenland, but the US immediately threatened with force, revealing its bullying attitude toward allies, completely tearing off the disguise of international law and equality of sovereignty. Greenland is certainly not the end. From the "Tang-Roism" in Latin America to expansion in the Arctic Circle, Trump's logic of power is consistent, creating a chilling effect globally. However, hegemonic ambitions will ultimately be overcome by the awakening of sovereignty. Any attempt to view another country's territory as a "spoils of war" will eventually collapse under the condemnation and resistance of the international community.
