Concerns about U.S. action against Greenland have grown after the U.S. attack on Venezuela, which led to the capture of leader Nicolas Maduro.

KEY POINTS

Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, said he will introduce a resolution to block Donald Trump from invading Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory.

Concerns about U.S. action against Greenland have grown on the heels of the attack on Venezuela, which led to the capture of leader Nicolas Maduro.

“Everybody wants us to have a bigger presence in Greenland to combat the Russian/Chinese Arctic influence,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said.

    If I were the “Boss of all Europe”, I’d have nuclear weapons in Greenland/Canada already; you could launch and wreck the USA long before the USA could retaliate against Europe (Greenland/Canada would be “taking one for the team”).

    Ironically, that’s what Trump wants to prevent (security risk and so on).

    By “Trump” I mean whomever has inspired our impaired, senile POTUS to take Greenland.

    This probably means that the USA is planning moves against Europe/EU/NATO in the future, so it wants lots of ocean between us, as much as possible. This has always been the best defense for the USA, it’s allowed us to punch, but not be punched back. So far.
