GREENLAND CAN BE TAKEN NOW, TWO DOG SLEDS DEFEND IT, SAYS TRUMP
Public Advocate president Eugene Delgaudio says: "President Trump is right when he says Greenland is a strategic necessity for United States interests and is being ignored by its current government at the expense of the U.S. security interests, as promised by them for 50 years. Taking Greenland and defending the US interests is critical now."
President Donald Trump argued on Sunday that Greenland's defensive capability amounts to "two dog sleds," so the United States must acquire the strategically valuable Arctic territory to protect it from Russia and China.
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday night that he has not yet made a monetary offer to Denmark for the acquisition of Greenland, but Greenland should be eager for the Danes to sell the territory to America, because "Greenland does not want to see Russia or China take over."
"Basically, their defense is two dog sleds. You know that? You know what their defense is? Two dog sleds," he said. "In the meantime, you have Russian destroyers and submarines, and China destroyers and submarines all over the place."
"We're not going to let that happen, and if it affects NATO, then it affects NATO. But, you know, they need us more than we need them, I will tell you that right now," Trump said, alluding to the resistance expressed by European members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to his effort to acquire Greenland.
