What's the deal with Greenland? Why would POTUS suddenly bring it into focus?
Patrick Mack gets to the backgound that explains POTUS's actions.
First note that Greenland is really Iceland and Iceland is really more green. It is said the Vikings switched the names to mislead others exploring lands on the periphery of the Artic.
Note from history that Greenland, an inhabitable wasteland except for research stations and military bases, was claimed by both the United States and Denmark and the UN assuaged a slab of UN gobbledegook by making it seem as if Denmark had this or that and well who cares?
Greenland has enormous amounts of rare earth elements being mined at Kvanefjeld by Australian firm Greenland Minerals and Energy IN COOPERATION WITH ...
CHINA'S SHENGHE RESOURCES.
Yes, China is in Greenland bigtime.
There are several other mining sites and more in planning along with a possible military presence.
China also tried to buy a former US military base at Gronnedal in Greenland but was blocked by Copenhagen because it might offend someone or something but well ... maybe later if the price is right. The US still operates a military base at Thule in Northern Greenland.
China is also developing Greenland's nascent Artic tourism industry. In next door Iceland at Keflavik, Chinese visitors of the state sponsored CHINESE variety jumped from 9500 in 2007 to 86000 in 2017.
86000 Chinese in Greenland people.
These are not the Chinese we know and welcome. These are PRC Chinese. Ask anyone in HK what that means and they will tell you it's bad news.
Yep, they be getting ready to colonize an Artic launch pad.
Copenhagen is considering Chinese firms to expand and develop three airports in Greenland ... more PRC Chinese!
Why is Copenhagen letting all this PRC colonization?
$$$
China has the money and was the only party interested until ...
until TRUMP.
Now we know what the deal is about.
Hopefully Patrick Mack is looking for a copy editor to review his writing before he posts mangled crap like this in the future.
Maybe it’s time for you to start thinking about a different career?
