Months after mocking Trump for his focus on Greenland, media reports on China's first Arctic shipping route

Well, well, well … could it be that, once again, TRUMP WAS RIGHT?

I'm old enough to recall when everyone scoffed at President Trump's insistence that control of Greenland was critical for national security in the North Atlantic region.

Now?

HEEEEEEERE'S CHINA!

I remember the Europeans laughing at President Trump’s warnings about their dependency on wind and solar.

The next winter when they froze their collective azzes off they weren’t laughing anymore.

This got me thinking. Conservatives have problems with the bias of the media. They are no longer providing the news but propaganda. So I suggest every opportunity we have to give our opinion to companies about their products, we advise since they use a media which publishes falsehoods, then why should we believe their advertising claims. Suggest these companies change their method of promotion to a non-bias outlet!

People around the world (including Americans of all stripes) need to remember, this is what is on the Yuan (Communist Chinese Currency):

This is a man DIRECTLY responsible for the murder of tens of millions (if not hundreds of millions) of his OWN people for political reasons.

Today's CCP is no different. They just have a different face, and we trade with them now.

They are not our friend, they are not a friend of any other country in the world. They should be viewed as a venomous, dangerous snake that should be segregated from civilized society instead of traded with, especially on the terms they have chosen deliberately as a way of defeating their enemies.

The United States is one of those enemies. We are only waking up to it, and if not for Trump, it might be too late. It may already be too late, but he is aware of this.

We need to get this fundamental fact through our thick, naive heads. And Canada and Greenland, if they get investment via the Belt and Road Initiatives from the Chinese Communist Party, would be well advised to keep that in mind.

Globalist bankers think they can rule China.

They’re wrong.

China is engaged in a desperation play almost as massive as Iran. They’re vicious gamblers. We’re distracted bumblers. The Iranians are simply cutthroats. The outcome is in question if the Slave Party wins.

Why Trump hasn’t yet played the Venezuelan role in stealing elections here blows my mind.

https://www.petersonschriever.spaceforce.mil/Pituffik-SB-Greenland/

Pituffik Space Base (pronounced bee-doo-FEEK), formerly known as Thule Air Base (pronounced too-lee), is located in Greenland—a country within the Kingdom of Denmark and inhabited by approximately 56,000 people. Greenland covers nearly 840,000 square miles; more than 80 percent is covered either by the ice cap or smaller glaciers. Pituffik SB is locked in by ice nine months out of the year, but the airfield is open and operated year round.

Pituffik SB, the DoD’s northernmost installation, is operated by the 821st Space Base Group and part of Space Base Delta 1.

Pituffik SB exists today due to agreements between the United States and the Kingdom of Denmark, specifically addressing mutual defense. Strategically, Pituffik SB’s “Top of the World” vantage point enables Space Superiority. Pituffik SB supports Missile Warning, Missile Defense and Space Surveillance missions from the solid-state phased-array radar operated by the 12th Space Warning Squadron (12 SWS) and Satellite Command and Control through the Pituffik Tracking Station operated by the 22nd Space Operations Squadron, Detachment 7 (Det-7).

Everybody remembers Hitler, but he is "only" in 3rd place among mass-murderers of the 20th century, behind both Mao and Stalin.

The European mindset is “Do whatever the government, king,prince, dictator or fuhrer tells you to do. “

It comes from 1600 years of feudalism and is deeply rooted in their society. Freedom and liberty were never a thing in Europe. People were tied to the land as assuredly as a slave in the Old South.

The American Dream Is to own some dirt. The European Dream is to own some air......

As far as I know, yes.

This may be relevant. Nations can lay claim to ocean offshore. Per Grok:

Zone Distance from coast Rights
Territorial Sea 12 nm (22 km) Full sovereignty

Contiguous Zone 24 nm (44 km) Law enforcement authority

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
EEZ 200 nm (370 km) Exclusive resource rights

Extended Continental Shelf Up to 350 nm (648 km) Seabed resource rights only

That top-of-the-world shipping route has been talked about for centuries. It’s even been tried a few times, by Russia and others.

It does not work. The weather and the ice are too unpredictable. IMHO, it looks like China is yanking a few chains, this time.

But it is opening up a bit now in the summer and we have better ships. No more Franklin Expedition worries today. We've been in a glacial retreat since wooly mammoth days (and that has nothing to do with industry BTW).
