Listen to Donald Trump and you would think Moscow and Beijing were lying in wait off the coast of Greenland, ready to pounce to boost their power in the Arctic.
“There are Russian destroyers, there are Chinese destroyers and, bigger, there are Russian submarines all over the place,” President Trump said recently.
That is why, according to America’s president, US control of Greenland is essential.
So how do you think Moscow has reacted to its alleged plot being uncovered and potentially thwarted by a US takeover of Greenland?
The Russians can’t be pleased. Right?
Wrong.
What gets me is this claim that Russia or China is going to take the island. First of all the U.S. has the strongest military in the world, stealth bombers that still can’t be caught, the largest Navy, the best logistics, and you know all those nukes. Add to that the fact that we’re (at the time of writing) a member of NATO and if Greenland was attacked by Russia or China it wouldn’t be just the U.S. it would also be all NATO members. The whole argument is just a dumb as the mouth they’re coming out of.
And yes I know it’s really about controlling future sea lanes, drilling for under sea oil, and mining minerals… and satisfying, maybe for a day, trump’s greed.

You never defeat them were they’re strong. It’ll be hundreds of Chinese drones swarming targets instead of doing a frontal attack.
