Greenland does not want an “Anschluss” with the USA. It wants to remain part of DK, NATO & the EU. Moreover, neither under Trump 1 nor Trump 2 has the USA taken actions that indicate it feared Russian/Chinese military activity off Greenland’s coast. Politics today is based on lies rather than facts

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.
