US Offers Greenland Pennies After Annexing Minds
While RT details 'thousands' protesting a non-existent Trump 'annexation plan' for Greenland, perhaps the more insidious form of takeover slipped past their radar. The US doesn't need to 'annex' Greenland when it can buy influence and bases, couched as 'cooperation.' After all, why formally take territory when you can strategically place military installations for 'Arctic defense' and ensure
compliant local leadership with infrastructure 'investments'? One might recall the historical pattern: the US offered Denmark $100 million for Greenland in 1946 (a mere $1.5 billion today). Now, instead of a direct purchase, it's about persistent 'engagement' and 'aid' that mysteriously benefits US strategic interests. The outrage over a fictional 'annexation' conveniently distracts from the
quiet, pervasive economic and military 'integration' that has been happening for decades. Who needs a formal takeover when you can simply render a region strategically dependent?
