Trump recently indicated that the US needs to “own” Greenland to prevent China and Russia from doing so, for national security purposes, and that the US will do it “the easy way” or “the hard way” whether Greenland likes it or not. Hard talk… But why?
What is behind the United States push for Greenland? Why does this country matter so much? How does this relate to China?
What are the reasons China cannot afford to lose Greenland to the United States? How does this relate to China’s history and the “Century of Humiliation”? And how will the control of this country either by China, the United States, or others shape the future power balance of global geopolitics?
These are questions many people in the world cannot clearly answer, because they do not understand the deeper significance of Greenland in relation to global geopolitics, economics, military positioning, and power.
This insightful video by InsightNews361 (YT) brilliantly answers these questions, and gives the listener a broader historic and current context why Greenland matters so much, and why it might inevitably be the next battleground of global powers.
For Africa nation-building, it is important to understand the broader geopolitical developments within which Africa is operating, so that corresponding developmental strategies can be formed to carefully navigate and benefit from these unfolding events.
In all these developments may cooler heads prevail, may countries committ themselves to a collaborative joint prosperity, and thus may the welfare of the global peoples (not just the narrow interests of a country) be kept in mind.
Onward & Upward!💫
