US Seeks Greenland Grab as Pursuit of Primacy Accelerates |
All under the guise of “pursuing peace” in a proxy war the US itself engineered, and is, for all intents and purposes, fighting against Russia simply through its Ukrainian proxies.
Continued (and now renewed) US interest in seizing Greenland from Denmark serves to accomplish both of these objectives.
A New Base for Wider Proxy War with Russia
Existing US military bases in Greenland are located closer to Moscow than any other US military base outside of mainland Europe (including Türkiye) and the UK.
Assuming that open US plans to have Europe “double down” on supporting Ukraine, including expanding military industrial production and arms shipments to Ukraine as well as preparing “European and non-European troops” to actually enter into Ukraine proceed, all under a US-led “division of labor,” US military facilities across mainland Europe and the UK would run the risk of dragging the US itself into any resulting Russian-European conflict.
This would defeat the purpose of this “division of labor.” Thus, the US either reducing its military presence across mainland Europe and the UK or relocating essential operations to Greenland allows the US to provide close, but technically indirect support for European forces fighting Russia in the same way the US is currently providing close, but technically indirect support for Ukraine as it fights Russia.
Greenland could serve as a base of operations for continued and essential US ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) support, without which neither America’s Ukrainian nor its European proxies could effectively fight and successfully overextend Russia.
With the US operating outside of most of Europe, it could project the illusion of plausible deniability amid a Russian-European conflict enough to give itself and Russia the ability to avoid escalation into a direct US-Russian conflict — an escalation both Washington and Moscow presumably seek to avoid.
For the US, the entire purpose of waging this proxy war is to have US proxies pay the full cost of the conflict while the US enjoys the full benefits of it. For Moscow, the Ukraine conflict expanding into a European-Russian war backed by the US is still a lesser evil than a direct US-European-Russian war.
