European NATO leaders have issued a joint statement that “Greenland belongs to its people” and it is for the Arctic island and Denmark only to decide on its future, after President Donald Trump’s administration reiterated its wish to take control of it.

The statement said that NATO and its allies had increased its activities and investment to make the Arctic a safe place and that Denmark and Greenland were part of that alliance.

    Came across this clear reason why the child rapist has set his eyes on Greenland and no media is talking about: He wants Greenlands precious metal since they designed their gate keeping primary military spearhead (F35) with one little flaw: it needs a rare metal only widely available in China… https://youtu.be/ng4cwPNIag0

      Only problem with that theory, is that USA is pretty much welcome to mine whatever the fuck they want in Greenland. Neither Denmark nor Greenland is stopping them.

      Bingo! And I’ve commented many times that global warming makes mining and prospecting easier, and year-round Artic shipping lanes will soon be a thing.

      Warfronts on YouTube has also mentioned this in a few of their videos that cover the topic as well, although I’ve not heard it mentioned on any large media platforms.
