When President Trump recently announced in a truth and socially needed, “the ownership of Greenland is absolutely necessary.” Democrats and the media spin wild stories, suggesting that this is somehow given Russia and China's Carte Blanche to their own territory. Guardian Donald Trump Junior invited homeless people and drug sellers from the Greenland street, giving them free lunch, accused them of having many native Trump fans. Hysteria is as predictable as ridiculous.
Make your record straight. The United States does not intend to invade Greenland. However, if you are serious about securing the national interests to the Arctic and the world, you can no longer ignore Greenland.
If Greenland becomes independent, the need for economy and military partnerships will be greater than ever. The United States should be in front of the line.
Greenland has been a US strategic partner for over 80 years. Nazi during World War II Occupation of Denmark in Germany The United States has urged Greenland to establish its presence to prevent the island from falling into the enemy.
Its existence has solidified when a pentagon was built in 1951. Pituffik space baseAn important military status of the Arctic Circle. Located in the 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the Air Force Base is essential to prevent Russia's invasion and detect potential missiles. Even in 2017, the United States has invested millions in radar system upgrades to prevent Russia intercontinental ballistic missiles.
1946, Harry Truman President Denmark provided $ 100 million in Gold Land Gold to buy Greenland, and recognized its immeasurable strategic value. Denmark has declined, but Greenland's geopolitical importance has only grown. The Arctic Circle is no longer considered a “frozen rough land” on the map. It is a battlefield for influence, resources, and security.
The Arctic Circle bet
Why is Greenland so important? The US geological survey estimates it The Arctic Circle holds 30 % 13 % of the world's undiscovered natural gas and un detected oil. Furthermore, the huge amount of sediments (indispensable for technology, vehicles, and national defense) of Greenland's rare earth minerals is effectively unbeated. These are resources that promote the economy of the 21st century, and now China is squeezing and killing them. The United States imports 72 % A rare earth miner from China. It is not simply an impossible. It is dangerous.
China and Russia understand the importance of Greenland. Beijing is already trying to secure the mining rights and infrastructure projects on the island. Moscow is also paying attention to the Arctic Circle to strengthen military activities in the region. It is easy to imagine that if Greenland is independent without the US involvement, these two enemies intervene to fill the blank space.
Moving forward?
Critics laugh at Trump's interest in the purchase of Greenland and compare it to real estate plan. But this is not to buy a beach front real estate. That is to secure the future of the United States.
Greenland promotion to independence from Denmark is gaining momentum. The Prime Minister has recently called for Denmark's “colonial era” treatment to create a framework for complete independence. If Greenland becomes independent, the need for economy and military partnerships will be greater than ever. The United States should be in front of the line, and it is necessary to ensure Greenland's safety while constructing mutually beneficial economic relationships.
This does not necessarily mean direct purchase of Greenland, as Truman suggested. Instead, we were able to build a comprehensive partnership that enhances Greenland's autonomy to enhance the future according to American profits. The expansion of trade, investing in infrastructure, and the development of resource development is a way to deepen relationships with Greenland without stepping on the Denmark toes.
Link pin for security in the Arctic Circle
Acquisition or partnership with strategic foreign land like Greenland is not just a Trump idea. This is a common sense that has been hired by the President for the past 100 years.
1917, President Woodro Wilson -It is almost not a conservative hero -I purchased the Danish West Indian Islands (now the West Wajin Islands) in Denmark to protect the interests of the Caribbean. The purchase of $ 25 million was driven by the fear that Germany might use the island as a naval base during World War I.
The same logic applies to today's Greenland. Its strategic position is Linchpin for the safety of the Arctic Circle, and its resources are indispensable for the future of American energy independence and technology.
With priority on Greenland, President Trump thinks beyond short -term political victory. He positions the United States, which is leading in the Arctic, opposite the growing influence of China and Russia. This is a kind of bold, foresight leadership that the United States needs. That is why the left is very disliked. The left wing wants to focus on short -term optical and party struggles rather than confronting the real tasks facing our country.
The Pole is a new frontier, and Greenland is a gateway. It is not a strange idea that President Trump focuses on Greenland, but a strategic duty. Through purchase, partnership, or deeper alliance, the United States must act now to ensure this important area. This is more than politics and headlines. It is to guarantee that the United States is strong, safe, and free for the future generations.
