Open rebellion in NATO! Germany has prepared a plan to protect Greenland from the US, which will give Donald Trump sleepless nights
a
Donald Trump’s obsession with making America great again has shaken global politics. Initially, he only fought against his opponents in the name of “America First,” but now he’s even challenging his allies. The stance the US is taking regarding Greenland is pushing towards the end of a historic alliance. If this continues, the 77-year-old security promise will inevitably be broken.
Following Trump’s rhetoric on Greenland, European countries have become wary and have decided they will not allow this arbitrary behavior. Greenland, with its small population, cannot be secured by Denmark alone; it relies on the NATO alliance, of which the US is also a member. What can be done when the US itself becomes a threat to the security of a NATO country? To address this, Germany is preparing for a new NATO mission.
The German Plan to Save Greenland
According to a Bloomberg report, a group of European countries is discussing deploying military forces to secure Greenland. Germany and the United Kingdom are leading this plan. Their objective is to protect Europe, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the Arctic region. They want to send a strong message to Donald Trump that Greenland is not alone. Germany is preparing to propose a joint NATO mission for security and surveillance in the Arctic region. Let’s understand why this has become necessary.
Why the Increased Activity in the Arctic Region?
The Arctic region is rapidly becoming crucial for global powers. Climate change is causing the ice to melt, opening new sea routes, which has increased the interest of Russia, China, and European countries. The US wants to monopolize this region to strengthen its economy. Germany believes that launching a joint mission under NATO will not only strengthen regional security but also help balance the political tensions that have arisen between the US and Europe over Greenland. However, this proposal has not yet been formally decided upon and is still to be discussed with NATO allies.
