US To Attack Greenland Soon? | NATO Split Wide Open Over Trump’s 'Takeover' Threat | Akash Banerjee
FULL TRANSCRIPT
It hasn't even been 15 days since the new year began and Chacha's words seem to be coming true.
The world will end in 2026.
At the rate Trump is working, it will be a miracle if the world survives in 2026.
First, America entered Venezuela and kidnapped President Maduro from there.
Undermining the rules-based international order
Then threaten Iran that the US will attack there too
Because protests are going on there against Ayatollah Khamenei.
But due to the brutality of ICE in his own country, protests are taking place in America against Trump govt.
People are demanding that the entire Epstein file be revealed. Donald is hiding something.
Now to distract the country, to hide his evil deeds
Could Donald Trump now make Greenland his next target?
Until now, the idea of buying Greenland seemed like a joke, but it can no longer be taken lightly.
The Trump administration has hardened its stance on Greenland in recent days.
Trump has now threatened military action to seize Greenland.
The idea of military action against Venezuela and Iran is understandable as imperialism works that way
But you are scaring a NATO member, an ally, with your own military.
By doing all this, is America not running a bulldozer on its own feet?
Trump says that total control over Greenland is very important for the national security of the USA.
He says that if America does not do something soon,
then Russia and China, which are America's enemies, will take over this region.
But this is what Russian President Putin has been saying about Ukraine for years.
that total control over Ukraine is essential for Russian security.
Otherwise, Ukraine will fall into the camp of Russia's enemies, and NATO will arrive at Moscow's doorstep.
But America does not accept this logic there.
There it gives Russia knowledge about international law, territorial integrity and sovereignty.
But today, Donald Trump himself wants to imitate Putin. This is all hypocrisy.
That's why in today's episode of Deshbhakt, we will expose this double-faced character of America.
Through the story of Greenland, we will understand the dirty politics of America in detail.
Why is America suddenly missing Greenland so much today?
What is hidden in Greenland that Trump is ready to create a rift in NATO to get it?
How control over Greenland could escalate into a NATO vs. NATO fight
And finally, if tomorrow Greenland became part of the United States
what impact is it going to have on the rest of the world?
On January 12, Republican Congressman Randy Fine introduced a new bill in the US Parliament.
The bill is called the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, which aims to
give President Donald Trump the power to annex Greenland at will and no one to stop him
Now, even after Venezuela, one of the most pressing questions raised against Trump was this...
that why did he not take approval from Congress before taking such a big action?
Therefore, with this new bill, Republicans want to fulfill that requirement in the Greenland case.
To get a legal and constitutional cover
Greenland is part of Denmark, but it is a self-governing territory in terms of internal affairs.
But when it comes to defense and foreign policy, Denmark still takes the decisions.
Amidst Trump's pressure, the Greenland govt has made it clear that it definitely views America as an ally.
But that doesn't mean it wants to be part of America.
The Prime Minister has stated that he would prefer to be part of Denmark any day, rather than the US.
Denmark has also repeatedly made it clear that Greenland is not for sale.
they will not let the US take Greenland.
On the other hand, Donald Trump is now raising questions on Denmark's dominance over Greenland.
Trump believes that they did reach Greenland by boat some 100 years ago.
This does not mean that Greenland belongs to them.
Trump is right. At least the Native Americans there would agree.
They had lived there for thousands of years. Then came the Europeans on boats.
They wiped out the natives there. They made America their own.
Now the native Americans there could not stand against the guns of the Europeans.
But Denmark has made it clear that it will not hand over Greenland willingly or peacefully.
Trump will have to use military force, which he can do.
The fact is that today the whole world respects only power.
The country which will do research and adopt new technologies like AI will get the benefit.
That's why you will notice that China is the only country that Trump is afraid of.

Now the problem for Trump is that Greenland is not part of South America.
That whenever felt like it, overthrew the govt there and started looting.
Denmark is a part of NATO.
If its territory, Greenland, is attacked, then
all NATO countries will have to join the war to defend it, by rule by law.
But the problem is that America is also a member of NATO.
So technically, if the US uses military force on Greenland
So a situation like an internal civil war will arise within NATO.
Which will essentially end NATO.
America can today become the reason for the collapse of the alliance which the West had created against USSR.
The country that has been a net security provider for NATO for decades.
Today it seems ready to destroy it.
Therefore, in view of the deteriorating situation, many European leaders are advising Trump
to work keeping in mind sovereignty, territorial integrity and international borders.
But Trump is currently adamant about Greenland and is not ready to listen to anyone.
Just this week, Vice President J.D. Vance is going to meet with the leaders of Denmark and Greenland.
Now it remains to be seen what the outcome of this meeting is?
Will there be humiliation in the White House, as it happened with Zelensky?
The question is, why is there such a sudden fascination with Greenland?
To divert people's attention from Epstein file, to create a distraction
But such a huge betrayal with own friend... there must be something in Greenland.
To understand this, a little history and a little geography
Greenland is the largest island in the world
It is so large in area that it would fit six Germanys.
But despite its vast area, only around 56,000 people live there.
Greenland's location is such
that it finds itself, despite its unwillingness, in the middle of Great Power politics every few years.
This island finds itself midway between the US and Europe.
On one side of it is the Arctic Ocean which is melting rapidly.
On the other side is the Atlantic Ocean, through which trade flows between the America and Europe.
Greenland is geographically closer to North America.
That is why under America's Monroe Doctrine, it comes under its sphere of influence.
Now in earlier episode we explained to you in detail what is Monroe, Donroe Doctrine.
Take a look at that to understand the geopolitics.
But whatever America may say today,
politically and culturally, the island has been in closer contact with Europe for centuries.
Denmark colonized Greenland about 300 years ago.
Since then Denmark has ruled there.
If you talk about the modern era, then in 1953 Greenland officially became part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Since 1979, Greenland has steadily moved away from Denmark and towards its own self-rule.
Today there is a Parliament there. Local laws.
Local law enforcement agencies are there
Denmark only handles matters such as Greenland's foreign policy and security.
And this is where the most complicated part of this story comes in.
Because Greenlanders have a good relationship with Denmark, but that doesn't mean they are very close friends.
Denmark has historically done a lot of injustice to the people of Greenland.
including forced contraception, attempts to forcibly remove young children from the island,
and the accusation of forcibly imposing Danish culture on them.
Denmark today admits that it has treated Greenland very badly in the past.
For which the Danish government has also officially apologized.
Even today, Denmark does not shy away from supporting Greenland financially.
But even then, most Greenlanders want independence from Denmark.
But when it comes to choosing between Denmark and any other power
then they choose Denmark
Then the question arises amidst all this that when they want to maintain relations with Denmark only
So why is America coming in the middle?
Judging by all the commotion surrounding Greenland today, you'd think
that all this is caused by rogue American President
Donald Trump is obsessed with power today.
So somehow he wants to swallow Greenland.
That's why whenever he sees a domestic challenge like the Epstein file
So, to distract people, sometimes Venezuela, sometimes Iran, sometimes Greenland
Distraction is a big reason in this case.
But it must also be acknowledged that Trump's interest in Greenland is more than a distraction.
Story is deeper.
Because even before Donald Trump, two American administrations had tried to buy Greenland.
Woodrow Wilson during World War I and Harry Truman during World War II
It is not a new thing for America to buy territory.
If you explore American history, from Louisiana to Alaska, you will find many such incidents
Where the US did not invade new territories, it purchased them.
The same model has already been adopted with Greenland in the last century.
During the Second World War, Nazi Germany occupied mainland Denmark.
That is why, for the safety of Greenland, America occupied Greenland throughout the war.
So that this territory does not fall into the hands of Nazi Germany.
The US established military and radio stations there.
After the war ended, the United States returned the territory to Denmark.
But American forces have been permanently stationed in Greenland ever since.
After this, a defense agreement was signed between America and Denmark in 1951.
This agreement gives the US the right to build and maintain military bases in Greenland.
Due to which the American presence in Thule Base still remains intact.
Now the question arises if America is already present in Greenland
From a national security perspective, Greenland is a US base
Then why is this pressure being created for a total takeover?
You'll find the answer in Greenland. You'll have to scratch this surface a little.
More than 80% of Greenland is covered in ice.
That is why the world had not noticed this place for years.
But due to global warming, the ice in Greenland and the Arctic Ocean above it has started melting.
Due to melting of ice, people can now extract the minerals beneath the surface of Greenland with greater ease.
And the melting Arctic snows are also opening up new shipping lanes there.
As climate change melts the polar ice caps,
the Arctic Ocean is becoming more usable.
Shipping and commercial activity can increase in areas that were previously inaccessible to ships.
New sea routes in the Arctic now mean
that the Northeast Passage is about to emerge from parts of the North American coastline.
And a trans-polar sea route is about to be built through the Central Arctic.
The idea is simple. The traditional route between Asia and Europe runs through the Suez Canal.
The Arctic Sea route can become its alternative.
This northern route will not only save time but also fuel costs, and the hefty price of the Suez canal.
This means saving billions of dollars every year.
As the commercial value of arctic increases, efforts to gain control over it will also intensify.
Only five countries have exclusive control over the Arctic due to active global treaties.
Meaning, four countries are NATO members and one is Russia.
Greenland is a junction point between the North Atlantic and the Arctic.
From where the movement on entire ocean can be monitored
The Greenland-Iceland-UK Gap (GIUK Gap) is considered a critical naval choke point.
This choke point connects the Arctic to the Atlantic
And it is very essential for tracking submarine movements.
To monitor Russian submarines and maintain NATO defensive positions
This gap is considered crucial.
But Greenland's story is not limited to strategic location, shipping lanes and naval security.
Another reason why the island finds itself in the middle of a global tug of war is its natural resources.
There is now definitive evidence of oil and gas reserves, gold, and rare earth minerals beneath Greenland.
As the ice melts, it will become easier to extract these resources commercially.
Today, America's entire Big Tech is based on rare earth elements.
Telecommunications, cellphones, chips, EVs, and other high-end tech manufacturing all run on rare earth minerals.
And China has been ahead in the rare earth race for years.
China today single-handedly controls the global rare earth supply.
The US has been trying to find an alternative for years.
That's why last year it tried to bully Ukraine.
And now after Greenland.
Taking control of Greenland will not automatically make all the resources of US.
Because Greenland's mining sector is largely unexplored
Fixing harsh environment, infrastructure limitations, processing challenges will take years
Billions of dollars will be invested.
Apart from this, there are climate concerns and the threat of ecological damage.
But if all this is done correctly then the returns from Greenland are also not going to be less.
America's Big Tech knows this.
That's why, even before Trump,
some American billionaires already started investing in mineral exploration and extraction in Greenland.
or the money has been committed.
Whether it's Bill Gates or Peter Thiel, everyone is now turning to Greenland and investing money there.
That is why sometimes there is a doubt as to how the chronology is going on here?
Is it possible that US billionaires are more interested in Greenland? Trump is doing what they want.
And trying to occupy the area.
Now such conspiracy theories spread in America because Trump is also a businessman.
But there is no conspiracy that the story ahead is not going to be just about Greenland.
If America gets aggressive, it will be a matter of security for the entire Western world.
The question will come down to the existence of NATO. Now, the idea of NATO is very simple.
Collective Defense - an alliance where members have guaranteed each other.
Like the bond of blood where if there is aggression over a country, then everyone will respond together.
But there is no provision for fighting within the alliance.
That is why Denmark has repeatedly made it clear that if the US advances on Greenland
That will simply spell the end of NATO.
If existing arrangements weaken or end, people will look for new options. Understandable.
If America starts betraying allies, then the day is not far when Europe will start dealing with Russia or China.
Today, at least they accept what America says.
Because America is the net security provider. It provides the most money and the most arms.
But if America starts doing all these things then perhaps China will become the net security provider.
And whether we like it or not, ultimately the thing that America does not want will happen.
That America's sphere of influence will be encroached upon by its rivals.
Increasing Russian and Chinese influence in Europe is no longer a far-fetched idea.
Along with this, any kind of attack on Greenland will be a signal to Russia and China.
that the era of might is right has returned again in the world.
That's why everyone should mark territory and expand. No one will come to save.
Because America itself is dragging the world back to a time where international borders no longer matter.
If America wants Greenland, it will take it. If Russia wants Ukraine, it will invade it.
China wants Taiwan, parts of India, it will take it. There will be no one to stop it.
In such a situation, it will be a tough choice for emerging powers like India.
Either ignore all these things happening in the world and quietly focus on their economic development.
Or spend even more money on defense due to global insecurity.
A middle option could also be that we focus on our capacity building.
whether it is in defence or in economy.
The problem is that the Modi govt focuses more on the opposition, Nehru, the media and Muslims
And that is why development is not taking place.
Today the situation is such that we release big GDP numbers but no one believes them.
Even now I say there is one last chance to improve.
Because after this, things will be completely upended, and there will be no international law, no country to protect us
We have now reached a very interesting situation in 2026.
