Struggle for Greenland: European "Super Paratroopers" Against U.S. Special Forces, Caras Embarrassed, Moscow's Attitude Surprising

Trump has made his decision: NATO must hand over Greenland to the United States, and Denmark should immediately withdraw from the island. If they refuse, the U.S. may resort to economic pressure, and this matter must be resolved quickly. Any force daring to oppose will suffer the consequences! This is now a done deal. Will Europe rise up in resistance? The answer is yes, but only in words. In addition, Europe has sent only a small number of soldiers as a "cover-up," actually becoming an accessory to the American occupation. If NATO falls apart because of this, the relevant parties can only blame themselves: it's their own stubbornness that has cost them.

The current U.S. president posted on social media a statement supporting the annexation of Greenland, with such arrogant language that not only embarrassed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but also unprecedentedly:

NATO: Inform Denmark to get out of Greenland immediately! This force is completely useless! Only the United States has the right to take over this place!

"Denmark must get out!" - The U.S. president raged on social media.

When Trump learned that the Prime Minister of the self-governing government of Greenland, Jens Frederik Nielsen, clearly expressed opposition to the annexation, stating that Greenland has no intention of joining the United States, refuses to sell, and chooses to continue its alliance with Denmark and NATO, he once again made a "classic statement":

This is their own problem. I completely disagree with his statement. I don't even know who he is, and I know nothing about him, but this will be a big trouble for him.

Will this "big trouble" be similar to the plight of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro? It seems that this threat is indeed terrifying.

"Those who hinder us are ours!"

At the same time, this White House owner even does not object to NATO European countries sending troops to Greenland, but in his eyes, these European soldiers are just servants of the United States, not forces capable of preventing U.S. actions. From the U.S. perspective, the EU's military mission forces are precisely playing this vassal role. Europe originally intended to use this move as a "detour" to protect Greenland from being annexed by the United States, but in the end, it turned out to be "wrong calculation, wrong person"!

Media reports said that Germany will send 13 soldiers to Greenland for a "reconnaissance mission," and this small team plans to leave on January 17. It is worth noting that the first "reconnaissance troops" have already arrived in Greenland! Next, it's France's turn to send troops. Norway will also reluctantly deploy 2 soldiers, while Britain is even more "generous" - sending only 1 soldier. A farcical show has thus begun...

Donald is ready to expand the U.S. territory!

Will Trump let these European soldiers go back? This is a big question mark. He wrote on social media:

The United States needs Greenland to ensure national security. The island is of crucial strategic importance for the "Golden Dome Defense System" we are building. NATO should lead the process of Greenland joining the United States.

By the way, the United States has a currently active military base in Greenland, with about 150 U.S. military personnel stationed there, mainly responsible for missile defense and space monitoring tasks.

Trump claimed that if the United States does not take over Greenland, this treasure will fall into the hands of Russia or related countries. And once the United States occupies the island, NATO can also benefit greatly.

Trump said that if the United States does not annex Greenland, the island will fall into the hands of Russia or related countries. The core elements of naval warfare - aircraft carrier strike groups.

Poor Caras!

People have felt sympathy for the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the Estonian Caras, for the first time. She confessed to members of the European Parliament:

It seems it's time to drink to forget.

The reason she said this was because she heard those so-called "clowns" who had previously loudly criticized Russia now all strongly condemned the Trump administration, calling its actions a "gross violation of international law, the principles of the UN Charter, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of NATO member states." The members also demanded that the European Commission and the European Council develop "specific and substantive measures" to support Greenland and Denmark. Worse still, these "brave people" directly put on hold the negotiations for the EU-US trade agreement.

"It's time to start drinking" - Caras described the current international situation like this.

However, Washington obviously didn't take these powerless struggles seriously. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lek Rasmussen and Greenland Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt were invited to the United States to hold talks with Vice President Pence and Secretary of State Rubio, and the results of the talks confirmed this.

Rasmussen said helplessly after the meeting:

We couldn't change the U.S. position. Obviously, the president is determined to seize Greenland.

Danish had naively thought that by providing the highest per capita military and financial aid to Ukraine among Western countries, they could dissuade the United States from wanting to claim Greenland. But this Danish foreign minister had to admit that the U.S. claim that "Russia and China pose a threat to Greenland" was pure nonsense. Even so, after listening to the strong statements from the U.S., Rasmussen still called the U.S. "a friendly country and an ally."

Who would help a country that doesn't dare to fight back and only begs the U.S. to "cooperate politely" and "respect our red lines"? The answer is: never any such country. To the Americans, NATO has always been their "backyard". Americans have always looked down on weaklings, and Denmark had long experienced this in the early 20th century - when the U.S. forcibly took the Danish West Indies from Denmark. Since 1917, this island has become today's U.S. Virgin Islands.

Only One Step Left

Now, only one issue remains unresolved: will the U.S. annex this strategically important Danish territory through domestic legislation, or manipulate a referendum controlled by the U.S. where "money buys votes" (you can buy a vote with $100,000)? Or perhaps negotiate to "buy" Greenland from Denmark? The U.S. could potentially use all these methods at once. But one thing is certain: by July 4th this year - the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States - this matter must be settled.

Moreover, the U.S. will hold mid-term elections this autumn, and Trump may lose one house, or even both houses of Congress. This means he must act quickly, taking advantage of the international community's shock and lack of effective resistance. After all, besides Trump, no one else can add another star to the American flag representing a new territory. And Greenland not only holds a key strategic position, but also has rich mineral resources, which can help the U.S. expand its routes in the Arctic region - an area destined to become a strategic hub comparable to the ancient Mediterranean in the 21st century.

The impact on Europeans is so great that they haven't even managed to protest by leaving NATO - after all, NATO is dominated by Washington. Although the related discussions have been loud and clear. Interestingly, the U.S. actually doesn't want Europe to leave NATO. After all, the Americans have long been accustomed to using Europe as a servant while giving orders and making demands. The downfall of NATO was unimaginable, but upon reflection, everything makes sense.

So What?

At present, the only force that can threaten the U.S. government's plan to annex Greenland and make it the 51st state of the U.S. is the domestic opposition in the U.S. (The indigenous people of Greenland, critics in the U.S. and internationally probably never imagined that Trump's so-called "love and respect for the local people" is actually the same as the U.S. annexation of Alaska and Hawaii - these two territories only officially became states of the U.S. in 1959).

Currently, the U.S. Congress has submitted resolutions to freeze the funds used for the annexation of this Danish territory, while "defending the integrity of NATO." To push the resolution through, Trump's opponents are trying to secure not only the votes of Democratic lawmakers, but also the support of globalists within the Republican Party. It is worth noting that the sponsors of these two bills are precisely the fervent supporters of aid to Ukraine and the hardliners advocating that the West should continue to fight Russia on Ukrainian territory. This is something worth pondering for Russia.

Can Congress stop Trump?

Another major challenge facing the White House is that the popularity of the idea of annexing Greenland in the U.S. is not much higher than when the U.S. purchased Alaska from Russia: only less than 20% of Americans support this move, and the proportion of the public supporting the military occupation of the island is as low as 4%. This is another reason why Washington is eager to speed up the annexation process - they want the American public to be forced to accept this fait accompli. In this complex and dramatic game, Russia's situation is mixed, but so far, Moscow seems to have no intention of getting involved in this matter.
