Warzone/The Drive: The U.S. Can’t Buy Greenland But Thule Air Base Is Set To Become More Vital Than Ever Before

With Russia drastically expanding its capabilities above the Arctic Circle, the frigid base will be key to America's own plans for the region.

Recent events have highlighted the increasing strategic value of the Arctic as both Russia and the United States seek to expand their military footprints into the northernmost regions of both hemispheres. Yet it is abundantly clear that Russia is putting huge strategic importance on the Arctic, as evidenced from its many investments in the region, while the United States lags behind in terms of a permanent footprint above the Arctic Circle.

That strategic value took center stage recently when President Donald Trump stated that his administration was considering attempting to purchase Greenland from Denmark. "It's just something we've talked about," Trump told the Wall Street Journal. "Denmark essentially owns [Greenland]. We're very good allies with Denmark. We've protected Denmark like we protect large portions of the world, so the concept came up. Strategically, it's interesting. And, we'd be interested. We'll talk to them a little bit.”

WNU editor:  The U.S. base at Thule has been operational since 1943. It looks like it is going to be expanded in the coming years.

  3. "Nobel secretary regrets Obama peace prize - BBC News" 2015

    Former Nobel chief: Obama Peace Prize a failure

    Now that article in the arch-rightwing newspaper, USA Today, cannot be factual unless it is true.

    A few years back members of the committee did admit that they gave the prize to Obama based on aspiration not what he did. That is Obama got the prize merely for showing up.

    I can see why white privilege poster child Fred would have no problem with Obama being given a prize because he is black.

    I would say that Trump is being premature in what he is saying, but consider the following.

    Iran cheated on the nuke deal on day one.

    Iran is begging for a war and Trump has not given it to him. Despite what the retards said about Trump being a warmonger. One of my kids fresh from college was saying in 2016 that they were afraid Trump would start a war. Such brainwashing going on in the institutions of supposed higher learning.

    Trump is fighting China economically and this may preclude a peer on peer global war.

    This is what winning look like without it going kinetic.

    China Grants New Tariff Waivers For US Soybean Purchases

    Bernie & Biden cannot win. Warren probably cannot win either. Our allies such as India and its leader support Trump.

    MAGA!


    Remember Macron is not a leader. He is a cheap suit and chase of grey cunt hair, whose country is constantly rocked by riots.

    Merkel is a spiteful vindictive bitch, who wants to rule until she dies even of it means the ruin of the country she purportedly loves. Russians/Chechens are killing Chechens in Germany and the bitch cannot do a thing about it.

    How could they? Germany cannot keep track of all the jihadis now and have admitted as much. What are they going to do? Pull police off of trailing known jihadis and sympathizers to play cat and mouse with the Russians? And get another truck massacre?

    Merkel's term in office could not survive 2 truck massacres within a 12 month period. The Bavarians would desert that sack of shit.

  4. Parrot could not wait to dump four pieces of Trump hatred he found by meticulously combing through all of the MSM.

    Parrot boy could have posted his Trump hatred under Tweets, World Briefs or Military Briefs, but he could not wait. His OCD was acting up.

  5. Wow, Parrot dumps another 3 loads of Trump hatred.

    Could you not have posted them under Tweets or would you IQ have to be boosted by 140 points in order to see that is a better pace to post?

  7. He claimed an electrical engineering prof from the university came to visit him last year.

    Can you imagine the hack and the electrical engineering prof have anything in common?

  8. It is not unheard of for aged people to be cantakerous and blinkered. He is probably on 5 or more different pills. Earlier this morning he was writing in Angrish. Or he could have all of his 2 cylinders firing and simply be a Democrat hack. It is hard to see how someone could be so oblivious; it makes me consider, if some troll ,Russian or otherwise, has taken over an elderly person's accounts.
