NATO in Fear – Rubio: Trump really wants to annex greenland

“This is not a joke,” Rubio announced on Thursday in an interview with SiriusXM Radio. According to his representation, Trump wants to buy the huge island of the EU country Denmark is not part of the United States with military violence.

“President Trump has shown what he wants to do and that is to buy it,” said Rubio about Greenland. It is not about acquiring land. The fact that Greenland would become part of the United States is “in our national interest” and the case must be “resolved”.

China threats danger
Rubio justified this with his concern that China could increase its influence in Greenland with the aim of access to the North Pole area through state -owned companies. This is “absolutely realistic” that China had already had “in the Panama Canal and elsewhere”.

In view of the protective guarantee for Denmark, which the United States bear as part of the Common NATO membership, Rubio said: “If we are already responsible for this, we can also have more control over what happens there.”

Representatives of NATO are planning to offer Trump
Within the alliance it is now planned to propose a significant expansion of the Allied military presence in the North Pole area. As the German news agency has learned from Alliance circles, there is the hope that the discussion can make hearing from Greenland to Denmark.

The American security interests can also be met by a considerably stronger presence of NATO in the region, according to the military alliance. Especially since the Americans can of course also participate in the increased presence. In short, in the light of Russian and Chinese activities, Trump is the same to worry about Greenland.

Greenland is, among other things, strategically interesting because of the empire of raw materials and as a basis for the military control of the Arctic. In addition, shipping routes with increasing climate change will become more accessible, at least in the summer.

Trump expressions of frightening allies
Trump’s interest in Greenland causes a sensation and abdominal wing because he has recently not excluded a military and economic coercion to gain control over the largest island on earth, which is largely autonomous, but officially belongs to the kingdom of Denmark. NATO partner Denmark points out that the Groenlanders themselves decide on their future and their possible independence of the Danish Kingdom. Premier Mette Frederiksen recently had countless crisis discussions with the heads of state and the government of other European NATO countries. The government of Greenland now repeatedly emphasizes that he does not want to be Danish or American, but Greenlandic.

NATO threatens Super-Gau
The Greenland debate is extremely explosive for NATO. On the one hand, the Alliance must fear his credibility as a leading member immediately threatens to include a areas of another state through forced application – especially with a view to the Russian attack war against Ukraine and the demands of China to Taiawan. On the other hand, it would be a super-gau for NATO if the United States would leave the alliance in the dispute on such a subject, because NATO’s deterrent was primarily based on the nuclear arsenal and the strength of The conventional armed forces in the United States.

According to diplomats, whether the plans for an offer for Trump can be implemented, among other things depending on whether the Republican is really mainly concerned with the American security interests in the region. If the raw material deposits also play a role, the initiative may therefore be doomed to fail.
