BERLIN, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Germany will send 13 soldiers to Greenland on Thursday as part of a reconnaissance mission with other European nations, the German government and defence ministry said on Wednesday, following demands by President Donald Trump for Washington to have control of the island. The mission, which comes at the request of Denmark, will take place from Thursday to Saturday, aiming to explore possible military contributions to bolster the security of the region, a defence ministry statement said. This could, for example, include maritime surveillance, it added. Trump has repeatedly said in recent weeks that Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark that is strategically located and rich in minerals, is vital to U.S. security, and that the United States must own it to prevent Russia or China from occupying it.
Why do you need to take control over an ally’s territory? The US already has a shot of pretecting Greenland from China or Russia occupying it, because it will be essentially attack on Denmark which is a NATO member.
If there is still anyone out there that believes that the orange turd wants Greenland for security reasons, they must have some negative IQ.
Now, those minerals mentioned… They are another story. That will be for the financial security of Trump’s family and friends.
