TRUMP, GREENLAND AND WORLD WAR III
Donald Trump seems to be determined to take control
of Greenland one way or another.
Just to put the record straight, Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and has been a Danish/Scandinavian possession
since first occupied by the Vikings in the 10th century.
It's citizens are full citizens of Denmark and as Greenland is one of the Overseas
Countries and Territories of the European
Union, citizens of Greenland are also European
Union citizens
The United States of
America has no cultural, religious or indigenous connections with Greenland whatsoever.
During World War II,
the US invoked its Monroe Doctrine and occupied Greenland by military force, Denmark being occupied by Germany
at the time was in no position to object.
Despite post war
objections to an armed military presence on its sovereign territory Denmark has
been unable to compel America to leave and abandon it's illegal occupation and in1951 was forced to enter into a treaty with America giving
it a significant role in Greenland's defence and the United States Space Force currently maintains a
base on Greenland.
This is a prime
example of a big powerful country like America using its strength and might
against a smaller weaker country, it is bullying of the worse kind and a
deplorable use by America of its force. America can now no longer be consider a
force for good but sits alongside Putin's Russia as a bullying, Imperialist
power.
If Trump were to carry
out his threat, should Denmark refuse to his 'request' to buy Greenland, and
occupy it by force of arms, then as Greenland is a member of NATO, whose creed
is an attack against one member state is considered an attack on all, Greenland
would be within its rights to demand NATO fulfil its treaty obligations and
declare war upon the USA.
