I'm not talking about military strength, I am talking about shipping lanes.
Something you can already see in Venezuela as we speak: The Trump Administration has essentially blocked countries like Russia and Iran to ship oil from Venezuela.
If they capture Greenland and can build a big Naval presence there they are in a great position to confiscate every cargo ship destined to Russian harbors in the north, and close off China's trading route in the Arctic aswell.
- actionfromafar 9mo agoRight. A phone call to Denmark => big Naval presence. What's the problem? Denmark would have welcomed a big Naval presence in Greenland. It benefits them too. It should have been: America: can we have a big Naval base in Greenland? Denmark: sure. 100 year agreement? It could have been: America: give us big Naval base in Greenland or we will annex you! Denmark: Eh... sure, are you alright? We got: America: we will annex you.
