Will Greenland become American land?

Will Greenland become American land?

As discussed in the Earth Research Institute, the United States was originally very interested in Greenland. Beginning in the 19th century, the territory had been incorporated into its territory. The United States first established a base in Greenland as a stopover for sending aircraft to Europe during World War II. The Greenland base is the dangerous landing in Masters of the air episode 1. Even after the war, the United States maintained its military base in Greenland and continues to this day.

The United States was initially reluctant to intervene in continental Europe during World War II. Instead, he believed that since it was his domain, he needed to defend the Western Hemisphere with certainty, which extends to modern-day Greenland and Iceland.

Washington’s recent obsession with Greenland is closely related to its confrontation with China. Recently, China has made large-scale investment in the Arctic Circle and is currently carrying out various tasks simultaneously. The situation is very bad for the U.S. Coast Guard, which will counter the icebreaker fleet thanks to China’s overwhelming shipbuilding capabilities. In addition, the U.S. is concerned about China’s rapidly increasing nuclear power. An ICBM launched from China travels through the Arctic and reaches the U.S. in the shortest course. It would be nice if Canada could help ease the U.S. concerns on its own, but it is not such a situation at all.

In the end, from the standpoint of the United States, it is necessary to secure a clear foothold and do something for its security, and of course, Greenland is the beginning.

Does it make sense to say that we will take the territory of Denmark’s sovereignty in this way, but Trump thinks such thoughts are naive and obsessed with the concept of the past. The slogan “America First,” which appeared during the election, is emerging in reality like this.

However, this will not necessarily mean that the U.S. is trying to expand its territory recklessly. What Trump is seeking is to divide the world into American territory and those that do not, and to punish those who challenge it. What about the rest of the world? I will take care of it and not care.

In this case, we need to think about where the U.S. is, of course, the first target is the Americas. At first, Canada and Mexico, which borders each other, were targeted, and now Panama in Central America is emerging. Soon, there will be many talks about South America. Right now, Brazil’s former president, Bolsonaro, is invited to visit the U.S. at Trump’s inauguration.

For a long time, Europe has always wanted to ask American presidents to ‘please do your business on your own’. Both Eisenhower and Kennedy wanted to take Europe off the back of the United States. Trump intends to make this dream come true by leaving NATO. I don’t know if he will completely withdraw from Europe or keep the U.S. military in a bilateral deal with some key countries, but he does not appear to intend to maintain a multilateral security system called NATO.

In the case of Asia, Korea, Japan, and the Philippines can be considered as territories. Instead, Korea and Japan will have to pay the price that much. The price will not necessarily be the sharing of defense costs. We will voluntarily pay for things that benefit the United States, such as reducing the trade surplus with the United States, expanding investment in the United States, and creating jobs. Or? You will have to bear many inconveniences. Instead, I would not tolerate leaning toward China.

The confrontation between President Roosevelt and Charles Lindbergh over whether to intervene in World War II in Europe in 1940 was an ideological war over “Can the United States remain an oasis of happy and fertile freedom surrounded by the cruel desert of dictatorship?” After a number of complex developments, the past 80 years of history as we know it proceeded as the United States eventually chose to intervene. At that time, Lindbergh’s slogan was “America First”.

Principles such as the sovereignty and respect for the territory of the state and the prohibition of changing the status quo by force, which we take for granted, are now becoming the old ones. Regardless of right or wrong, we have to actively respond to reality, but our situation is…
