Mikasaobi:
It’s all theatre, the USA won’t do sh*t. We waited months for the Venezuela invasion and all we got was operation Uber air and negotiations to buy the heavy oil Maduro was willing to sell.

The Greenland nonsense died quietly until Uber air made taco fell the USA is invincible. The USA is nothing without its allies. The USA sanctions are effective because of European countries. If USA pushes Europe to china and Russia, the USA will become an island while the world trades with each other without the dollar.

Even the Arabs want out because they realised the USA can’t protect them from Iran. They saw what happened to Israel in the 12 days war, so they know peace with Iran is the only way to survive.
As much as I want to agree with you, I do not believe Trump is grand-posturing about annexing Greenland.

Like LordAdam16 opined above, Greenland presents a strategic opportunity in both resources and geopolitical calculations for the US.

It allows them surround Canada from all sides, which can aid them in choking the life out of Canada if a hot war were to ever break out between both sides, while simultaneously granting free, unlimited and unencumbered access to resources that the they would've otherwise obtained from Canada at a cost.

You have to admire the foresighted thinking of the US.

It's about control of crucial resources and doing away with anyone and anything standing between them and that stated objective. It matters little if what/who is standing between is an ally or adversary.

Like a Nigerian sang a long time ago,

"Na wetin I want I go get,
"And if una nor give am to me I go vex,
"And if I vex all of una go regret,
"Omo see na wetin I want I go get!"


As simple as those lyrics are, its been the modus operandi of the thieving Europeans themselves for centuries.

They're only feeling the heat now because it never crossed their minds that a day would ever dawn when they'd be on the menu themselves!

As my people say, "when you wake up na your morning be that."

So, Europe, una good morning ooo

Yes it’s obvious the USA wants the arctic resources but it has to be done with a peaceful solution. Military action will destroy the relationship with Europe and like I said the USA is nothing without its allies.

Arctic resources are not easy to access, for now only Russia has the ice breaker fleet necessary for arctic exploration. Trump tried to get a deal with Russia to explore the resources in Alaska, this was discussed in the Alaska summit. The deal didn’t go through because Russia insisted the USA must lift sanctions on Russia if they want to use Russian technology. Now the USA has a deal with Finland to build ice breakers and also transfer the technology. A lot of people doubt Finland will be successful but time will tell. All am saying is the USA doesn’t have the technology to access the resources it wants in Greenland so what’s the rush. They should explore Alaska first before talking about Greenland.

the truly funny part is that the danes and europeans would look at the 12d war and the assassination of persian diplomats
and are now nervously looking at each other and definitely thinking to themselves

"F*CK"!

that could absolutely be us at any point

na d same game of deceit the us go run on both foe and vassal

-Lord
Not just that.

Another reality that really spook them is the Maduro's kidnap and the Venezuela blockade.

That gave them the impression that Trump means business regarding whatever he set his eyes on. Hence, the panic mode across the Eurozone.

This movie go sweet die. The Russians and Chinese will be laughing their heads off at this time.

Meanwhile, the ongoing Trump's administration foreign policy belligerence has prompted tectonic shift in geopolitical decisions and reassessment among state actors in the MENA and western hemisphere.

This is the right time for China to sidestep the US and assert its influence in places where the US over handedness have created skepticism and vacuum. Now that Trump keep giving is the the time China must act. Otherwise, it will regret it.

⚡Russia's Medvedev comments:

The United States is preparing to attack Greenland, choosing the island itself rather than any so-called Atlantic solidarity. Insolent Europeans will be punished with tariffs for protection within NATO.

French officials have announced their withdrawal from NATO.

Tymoshenko said that Ukraine has a fascist regime and that the country itself will last no more than five years.

The President and Prime Minister of Moldova spoke in favor of liquidating their own country.

Trump will soon announce contact with extraterrestrials.

At first, I thought this was just another absurd forecast like the ones I was making in 2022–2024.

But no! These are news items from the past few days.
by the prophetic power of God France will become ally of of Russia as the full world War 3. He who has ear let him hear what the spirit is saying to the world.

All the countries Trump has spoken about since he entered office, he has taken action against them.

I believe he is damn serious about it.

⚡Russia Advances the World’s First Commercial Fourth-Generation Nuclear Power Plant.

Construction of the world’s first commercial nuclear power plant featuring a fourth-generation reactor is progressing in Russia at Seversk.

A major milestone has been achieved with the installation of the fourth and final metal cladding of the peripheral cavity of the BREST-OD-300 reactor vessel. As a result, overall readiness of the reactor vessel has now reached approximately 70 percent.

The BREST-OD-300 lead-cooled fast-neutron reactor is the centerpiece of the Breakthrough Project, led by Rosatom. The project’s Pilot and Demonstration Power Complex under construction is designed as an integrated system and includes not only the nuclear power unit itself, but also on-site facilities for nuclear fuel fabrication and refabrication, as well as a spent nuclear fuel reprocessing module.


For the first time globally, a fast-neutron nuclear power plant and a fully closed nuclear fuel cycle are being implemented on a single site, marking a fundamental shift in how nuclear energy systems can be designed, operated, and sustained.

The development of fourth-generation nuclear power systems is expected to significantly transform the nuclear energy sector. Key advantages include a fundamentally higher level of intrinsic safety, broader fuel utilization options including the use of mixed nitride fuel and a substantial reduction in long-lived radioactive waste.


Together, these factors enhance both the sustainability and strategic resilience of nuclear power generation.

Russia continues to position itself as a global leader in next-generation nuclear technologies. In parallel with the BREST-OD-300 project in the Tomsk Region, pre-design work has commenced on the BN-1200M power unit at the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant, further underscoring the country’s long-term commitment to advanced fast-reactor systems and closed fuel cycle deployment.

⚡Iran's Spokesperson of the National Security Commission:

European ambassadors were the instigators of the unrest.

The ambassadors of Germany, the UK, and France stood directly alongside the terrorists and played a role in directing the chaos.

There is evidence that Western countries have transferred dollars and currency to organize terrorist groups and carry out "assassinations" inside Iran.
