Five years ago, Trump wanted to buy Greenland, got Danish PM Mette Fredriksen’s response that it was ‘absurd’ and then cancelled his visit and scolded her to the point where all the trousers in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were shaking.
Shortly afterwards – as a plaster on his wounds? – negotiations about American bases in Denmark began. The US now has 3 bases in Denmark, access to 12 base areas in Norway, 17 bases in Sweden and 15 in Finland – all under US jurisdiction. And now the sight is on Canada and Greenland – “we need it for economic, national security’ as Trump stated and did not rule out the use of military means and economic sanctions to get it.
Everything is related to everything else. That is, if you want to see it.
Finland and Sweden rushed down the NATO mouse hole because, in the governments’ absurd worldview, Putin would march on after taking all of Ukraine and then Poland, continue around the Baltic Sea, land on Gotland or Skåne Southern Sweden and then occupy the rest of Europe right after his “full-scale” and “unprovoked” (!) occupation of Ukraine.
Not even Trump’s de facto threat now, which does not exclude the use of military force and economic sanctions, seems to have woken anyone in the Ministries of State, Foreign Affairs or Defence. At a press conference, the three ministers appeared dazed, paralysed: Oh well, we hope to have a meeting with President Trump, and then we have to upgrade the dog sledge patrols…
Imagine their self-righteous indignation if Russia or China had said ‘we need Greenland for our national and economic security and we do not rule out using military means.’ Holy Madonna!
Since 2019 when Mette Frederiksen was tamed once and for all, she has declared an absurd number of times how close Denmark is to the US, how important the US/NATO is, and that there can’t be so much as an A4 sheet of paper between Denmark/Europe and the US. Or – ‘I have no need to comment on American activities,’ as she said when Trump assassinated Iran’s #2, Major General Soleimani.
This is the complete intellectual, moral submission and surrender of sovereignty in Danish military and foreign policy.
Denmark has for years practised the same degree of freedom from the US as the GDR’s Ulbricht and Honecker had in relation to Brezhnev in Moscow – although the famous socialist brotherly kiss between the latter two is still missing here.
The above explains this whole gigantic diplomatic disaster – because: How on earth can the Danish foreign affairs leadership be caught off guard once again?
Well, because intelligence services, politicians, media and researchers have only focused on traditional non-threats to Denmark from Russia, Iran, North Korea – all with China behind in Madam Frederiksen’s ‘absurd’ worldview – and wasted all the money on the already lost war in Ukraine.
After losing US wars since Vietnam, Nord Stream, the Gaza genocide and now after the Western-supported regime change by terrorism in Syria, the above elites still refuse to see the US as a problem.
If Trump drops a nuclear bomb, they will only say that the US is our most important ally since 1948 and will be forever.
The Frederiksen government’s loyalty to the US/NATO is so naive and blind that today it is a security risk for the country.

What is this about in a macro perspective? An imperial ‘grab the pussy’ policy, of course.
About the ever-weaker USA’s desire to survive in terms of resources in a world where the rest are turning their backs and building a multipolar world. About Greenland’s vast and partly rare resources, which should not fall into Russian or Chinese hands. About seeing the big picture from Panama to the US and Canada to Greenland and the Nordic countries with over 40 US bases. About controlling the Arctic in open conflict with Russia and China, turning it into a high-voltage area and making cooperation with other stakeholders impossible.
And it is about a rapid global political change that Danish governments don’t have the capacity to understand, let alone have written a single A4 sheet about.
Hence today’s second act of the tragedy called ‘The Disaster of the Arctic and Greenland’ – in which they will continue to try to win the war over Russia through the destruction of Ukraine – while being occupied from behind by their worst friends.

The sad thing is that so many, even those NOT in the USA, who seem to believe this version of history. With absolutely no evidence, and ignoring the sensible people in their populations (who are not asked, of course, before decisions are made), countries which have enjoyed decades of freedom thanks to agreements with the USSR imagine threats requiring loss of their independence and being taken over by the real hegemon.

A satire cartoon from the English Punch, 1878, illustrates the nature of conflicts in a tight place between empires – UK/Russia then – now US-Greenland-Denmark-NATO:

n a classic tragicomic fashion, NATO itself confirms the picture of the situation you paint:
NATO’s own website confirms that the exercise “Baltops 2022” in June 2022 primary focus was war under seasurface. Shortly after the Nordstream 1 & 2 explosion followed. **)
NATO’s own website confirms that the exercise “Steadfast Defender”, from January-May 2024, focus was nuclear war. The exercise consisted of preparing bombing with nuclear’s from airplanes… flying across the Baltics/Northern Europe. *)
” while we were bombed by massemedia 24-7, that the enemy is (…) we are confronted with socalled allies (US/NATO) exercising dropping nuclearbombs… at us !?! ” *)

At least in one case, in the part of Nordstream closest to the southern swedish coast, a nuclear bomb was detonated !
Several geological surveystations along the Baltic Sea measured the explosion to 4-4.8, on the Richter scale (earthquake force).
In one station particular, Kaliningrad, it was measured to 5.8 on the richterscale !.
The various results reflect also marine topographical conditions – e.g. the parabolic canyon, which with its “epicenter” (where exactly one of the explosions were located) close to the Swedish south coast, points directly towards Kaliningrad.
In addition to the main goal, blowing up the gas supply pipelines, maybe the Nordstream action carried a message, sent in the same direction (?) ~ something like ~ “NATO/Sweden can hit the enemy with the physical effect from nuclear bombs, detonated outside enemy territory”.
In the winter of 2022-2023, the water temperature south of Sweden/east of Bornholm was measured to be almost 5C HIGHER than normal !

Natos own website announces the next exercise:
” Arctic Challenge Exercise ” ( summer 2025 )
– have you guessed it yet ?
But Jan, Jan, don’t you see? Once the USG has taken over the world, then we can all live in peace. Think of Greenland as one more step along the pathway to peace. Thomas Barnett writes about it in The Pentagon’s New Map. Once those who resist US rules and hegemony are subjugated or killed off, we can live in harmony. So do not resist.
The Council on Foreign Relations wrote about it in the 1940s, during WWII: world economic hegemony is essential for the USG to survive which is essential for the USG to win any next world war against evil. That’s why the USG used WWII to further its goal of world hegemony. That’s why the USG has never stopped fighting WWII. It’s for the good of the world, for peace.
You see, US policymakers have your best interests at heart. There may be bits and pieces of greed involved. There may be ignorance and prejudice. But at heart, the USG just wants peace, and that can only be achieved if the USG takes over the world.
Greenland is essential for USG hegemony over the Arctic, for more US military bases, and for the continued drilling of fossil fuels. It’s obvious that the USG needs this – the world needs this, and it’s obvious that we need more drilling. The Earth was created for man to transform! That’s what the Native Americans didn’t understand. The Hawaiians didn’t either. But the USG set them straight. That’s why there are no more fish in Pearl Harbor.
You just have to trust, have faith, let go, and become one of us. Once you’ve drunk from the water laced with PFAS from the US military bases around the world, you’ll find it’s easier to understand the minds of our US policymakers, your mind will meld into theirs, just as the mind of Frederiksen’s has. And once the whole world has adopted American commercial, economic, political, and educational culture, we can all experience depression, anxiety, and alienation as one. Together. In harmony. Trust me, it will be beautiful.
