I am beside myself on this one - just completely beside myself.
What a beautiful sight, and it all happened in front of the world just that fast.
The President of the United States, the Danish Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister of Greenland. At the table, all with pens in their hands - Monica Crowley made sure of that.
President Donald J. Trump officially signs the landmark Greenland security deal alongside Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark and Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen of Greenland.

'With this,' said Greenland's Prime Minister Nielsen, 'We build on 85 years of security during which we have welcomed the US military in our country.'
IT'S NOT ONLY AN AGREEMENT ABOUT US, BUT AN AGREEMENT WITH US

These are the basics of the expanded 1951 deal that critics and desperate naysayers keep insisting is the same-same.
Au contraire, mon frère.

✅No end date, continuity after Greenland independence
✅Expanded U.S. military footprint
✅Chinese, Russian basing banned
✅U.S. veto power over Chinese, Russian investments https://t.co/3btHBmS5SD pic.twitter.com/Dxmnx6rjls
Two new, strategically situated US military bases are already in the works for lucky cold-weather types.

Until now, the U.S. presence there has largely relied on Pituffik base, which is important for missile warning and space surveillance.
How the three sites fit together(see location on map);
▶️Pituffik (existing, northwest): missile warning, missile defense, space surveillance.
▶️New; Narsarsuaq (planned, south): airlift, logistics, access toward the North Atlantic / GIUK.
▶️New; Mestersvig (planned, east): east-coast and Greenland Sea surveillance (air and maritime surveillance) , sovereignty presence, approaches from the Russian Arctic.
Why these two bases? They add what is missing;
◾️A logistics base for rapid troop deployments, resupply, and an airbase
◾️station surveillance
◾️air and maritime surveillance
◾️anti-submarine warfare, unmanned systems,
Narsarsuaq
Narsarsuaq is located near the southern tip of Greenland. It will become a logistics hub for rapidly reinforcing Greenland and the North Atlantic. it has an airport and is well suited for rapid troop deployment, logistics(resupply) and air and maritime surveillance ( especially for ASW warfare by air)
It has ;
◾️Airfield (former air base),~1,830 m runway
◾️Naval Port; Only a small fjord harbor
Meservig
Mestersvig is important for monitoring the eastern coast and the Greenland Sea and Norwegian Sea approaches, where routes from the Russian Arctic converge. It sits on the eastcoast in what is called the Giuk gap ( the Greenland-Iceland-UK zone) that Nato patrols
It has:
◾️Outpost + airstrip with ~1,800 m gravel airstrip
◾️Naval port; No, only fjord access
Together, the two sites would make Greenland not simply NATO territory, but a functional part of the Alliance’s Arctic military network.
Hardest hit by all this?

The unelected Empress of Europe just got back from bestowing expensive, second-rate satellite service on Greenlanders while promising more monies (!) if everyone behaved themselves, when this announcement came out of the blue to smite her benevolent triumph.
Oh, and what gifts Empress, consummate Bond villainess, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen bringeth, forsooth.
It's no coincidence that, while visiting the land of seal stew, caribou, and polar bears, von der Leyen looks convincing as an Ice Queen. There she is, cracking her glittery, brittle, frozen smile as she attempts to evince a more human aspect among her prospective partners, so that they begin to believe they have a friend in her and the Brussels Borg collective.
The beleaguered Danish Prime Minister came along for the ride and to help hand out the monies, all in a big show to fend off the angry Orange Man.
The European Union responded to repeated threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to take over Greenland by reassuring the territory with promises of an enhanced partnership and hundreds of millions of euros in investment.
European officials have turned greater attention toward Greenland since Trump insisted the United States must assume control of the island for security reasons...
And then the Green people and that Danish chick sold her out.
I welcome today’s agreement on strengthening security in the Arctic and North Atlantic.

My visit to Greenland earlier this month underscored the strategic importance of the region and the scale of the challenges.
Challenges we will face together.
As always, the EU will work… https://t.co/6WKhr7FO0V
ZOMG, she has to be mad enough to kick a dog sled.
Winning!

When you look at it this way, it's not just a good feeling.
Signed, sealed, and delivered...
Greenland makes a lot more sense when you look at the world from the North Pole. 🇺🇸🇬🇱

Suddenly Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Europe and Russia don't look nearly as far apart as they do on a normal world map.
This is why the Arctic matters so much strategically. pic.twitter.com/9FECHHLcTw
