US Sees Greenland Deal No Different From Buying Alaska Or Louisiana Purchase.

By Rhod Mackenzie

The name of the largest island on Earth (yes, Greenland again) is still making the headlines in the news. Trump and his team continue to make statements regarding Greenland. The Secretary of State, Mr Marc Rubio, is taking time out from his planning to invade and regime Cuba and anybody else he decides he does not like the rullers of to schedule a visit Denmark next week. 
In Brussels, they're deciding how to react and counter the "American annexation" if it happens. What will they do? Who said they will "impose sanctions"? take a bow—excellent answer .Although they may set the Estonia Mad Witch the Comedic Harpie Kaja Kallas on him
Come on it is pretty obvious that the current situation has all the ingredients of a comedic farce. However, the situation is much more serious than that well for NATO and the EU that is.To the rest of us its funny particularly those of us in Russia.
Despite the objections of the Danes and their EU allies, Greenland and the United States have more in common than the current European and anti-Trump establishment can imagine. The island and the United States share a common foundation, also known as the North American tec tonic plate.
The geological unity of today's United States and Greenland is approximately three billion years old. When President Trump, who is not exactly held in high regard by the EU, states that his country and the island have "a lot in common", he is not being untruthful; he is simply reminding his critics of geography.
Plus the US might be considering the acquistion of Greenland as the country has history in buying land.In 1803 the Louisiana Purchase was a significant land acquisition, in which the United States obtained approximately 828,000 square miles of territory from France for $15 million. Taking into account inflation is around $450 million so that is why it is often referred to as the "greatest land bargain in U.S. history," it was acquired for a mere fraction of a cent per acre, effectively doubling the size of the fledgling US republic.
Plus Lets not forget that the US paid to acquire Alaska .Back in 1867, the United States bought Alaska from Russia for the bargain sum of $7.2 million as stipulated in the treaty signed on 30 March and the formal transfer completed on 18 October of that year.
Initially, the deal was derided as "Seward's Folly" or "Seward's Icebox", however, the land deal was vindicated decades later by the discovery of significant gold and oil deposits.
The first was "Alaska Gold Rush" generally refers to a series of significant migrations and mining booms that occurred between 1896 and 1913 showed that the deal was a bargain. Then came the discovery in 1986 of oil fields which created the original" boom began with finding of the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field, the largest in North America.
In 1977 they completed 800-mile Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) enabled the transportation of oil to World markets, with a construction cost in excess of $8 billion. By 1988 production hit an all-time high of 2.1 million bpd, representing around 25% of total U.S. output at the time. Obviously the US has its eye on Greenland for much the same reasons it bought Lousiana and Alaska for the land and its minerals.

Geopolitics. The primary motivation behind this initiative by Trump is totally geopolitical.
Now Geopolitics is the concern with the balance of power, the strategic development of countries, and the global economy. As has been widely speculated, the next stage of global development will be based on access to natural resources, rather than on the protests of disruptive individuals, the totalitarian power of the media, or the malign influence of social media.
And – perhaps even more importantly – on control over access to these resources. Alstwhat is vitatly important is the routes for the transportation of resources, goods and products from one location to another.
Resources, goods and products are in the majority transported by sea, as opposed to air or even rail..
Bulk carriers,Oil and LNG tankers container ships of all goods,, is the cornerstone of the current global economy.
Control is one of the objectives of the American establishment.
As a businessman and developer, Trump always has a blueprint, plan, or map before his eyes. The map illustrates that by acquiring Greenland, the United States could gain control of a significant portion of the Arctic maritime region.
In contrast, Danish experts are eager to refute claims by Donald Trump that he needs Greenland because Russian and Chinese ships are dominating the Arctic northern seas. Perusing the Danish press today, it is evident that the term "Greenland" is featured on almost every page. It is as if nothing else in this world exists!
Moreover, right before our eyes, the Danes are rapidly moving through the stages of acceptance of the inevitable. Having begun with the traditional denial and anger ("Hands off our Greenland !", "Denmark and Europe will defend themselves!", "Don't dare undermine NATO unity !" and so on), today's Danish press is already in the stages of bargaining and depression.
For instance, yesterday's Politiken editorial quoted various Greenlandic politicians who expressed strong dissatisfaction with the idea of Greenland being sold.
The editorial team subsequently reported that Politiken had contacted the US State Department to enquire as to the amount that would be offered and to whom, but that they had received no response. While the island is not currently available for purchase, interested parties are still welcome to inquire about the price, should this change in the future.
Furthermore, Thomas Crosby, an associate professor at the Danish Defence Academy, has even proposed a potential starting price: "For some Greenlanders, forfeiting a million dollars, for instance, would be a highly significant decision." While it is improbable that an offer of a million will be made, this is typically the stage of the bidding process.
However, the Americans currently have no leverage for control, even in theory. They do not possess an icebreaker fleet. This is a unique type of vessel, the US has only one of its kind . It is not yet known whether this ship it is even afloat.
While the Americans were spending billions of dollars promoting "ideas of progress,freedom and democracy" around the world, Russia was building a large fleet of icebreakers. Nuclear-powered and diesel-electric. Russia was also not ust developing icebreakers and Arctic cargo ships,ice tugs and ferries.
Currently , China is happily exporting its products to Europe using giant container ships circumnavigating the Northern Sea Route. Russia is delivering cargoes of LNG to Asia by the same route .Notably, the journey time using the NSR is reduced by at least half compared to using the Suez or Panama Canals between Asia and Europe.
Today, the three powers of the the Chinese,Russians and US are engaged in substantive negotiations (not the ersatz representation that has been the subject of much media attention).
It is evident that Europe is not in a position of influence, given its eternal 'kept woman', Nezalezhnaya. This is a Russian reference to the EU's devotion to its Ukrainian mistress which is very derisive.

The current geopolitical landscape is seeing a shift in the global economic and political landscape, with Moscow, Beijing and Washington all playing key roles in shaping the future of this global arena. Brussels' has no influence and its opinion has been totally disregarded. The current leaders in Brussles ,London Paris and Berlin are ignored as of being of little to no interest to the major players.
The success of Russia's special military operation in the Ukraine and its victory in the economic confrontation with the globalists has once again proven that Russia's approach of prioritising its geopolitical interests has been effective.
By focusing on its geopolitical interests, Russia has not only ensured that these interests are taken into account, but have also been respected by other parties. Beijing has consistently adopted this approach. Washington has begun to understand them. This is already a good move forward .
However, the most significant challenge lies ahead: Russia must ensure that the emerging global landscape, which is currently outlined on blueprints and maps, is not only safe but also sustainable. It is imperative that we ensure it is both economically and politically just.
This is a significant undertaking. Let us hope that Putin and his team are prepared for this challenge.
