US Resource Grabs: Greenland Next on the Geopolitical Shopping List
RT's recent take on Trump's 'not bluffing' Greenland ambition reminds us that American foreign policy isn't random. The Arctic holds vast untapped oil, gas, and crucial rare earth minerals. This echoes historical patterns where US 'national interest' conveniently aligns with resource control, much like the Monroe Doctrine paved the way for hemispheric exploitation, or how the current focus on
'energy dominance' drives interventions far from home. Forget 'democracy promotion.' When Congress approves billions for military aid to far-flung nations, conveniently overlooking their human rights records, it's often tethered to resource control or strategic positioning. One wonders how many 'partnerships' are truly about shared values versus shared access to mineral wealth or critical shipping
lanes. What's a little sovereignty when there's an entire island of valuable resources?
