I usually just shill whatever Russia is saying, but on this, I must disagree.
RT:
The US is creating an airfield infrastructure in Greenland to potentially base fighter jets capable of carrying nuclear warheads, according to Russian Ambassador to Denmark Vladimir Barbin, as cited by RIA Novosti.
The comment comes after US President-elect Donald Trump again expressed a desire to purchase the self-governing Arctic island from Denmark, refusing to rule out economic measures or military action to achieve this aim.
Barbin noted that the US Pituffik Space Base, which is located on the northwest coast of the island, currently comprises part of the country’s early warning for a nuclear strike from the Arctic.
“A comprehensive modernization is underway, including that of radar systems worth billions of dollars. Airfield infrastructure is also being developed for F-35 fighter jets that are capable of carrying nuclear weapons,” the ambassador said, adding that the base, formerly known as Thule Air Base, had been already used by the fighter jets during US Air Force exercises.
Barbin said that Russia is committed to “strengthening stability” in the Arctic region, but that this is only possible through the establishment of a security system that is equal for all Arctic states.
The diplomat said that Trump’s approach towards Greenland only degrades the situation and indicates an unwillingness to strengthen stability and develop dialogue in the Arctic.
As he mentions, there is already a US airbase there.
It used to be called “Thule,” which is awesome, but is now probably called “Harvey Milk’s School for Boys” or something similar.
I am personally thinking about joining the US military before the invasion so I can rape Eskimo women.
I’m also interested in trying out various other war crimes.
Let’s be real: Greenland has had it coming for a long time.
Invading Greenland is hilarious, and it will be quadruple hilarious if the US fails to put down the Eskimo insurgency and has to surrender after spending trillions of dollars like they did in Afghanistan.
To be clear, I don’t think Russia is actually stating opposition to a US invasion of Greenland, which wouldn’t affect them in any way, but rather using the discussion around a potential invasion of Greenland to discuss the fact that the US has already militarized the territory.
Of course, the US militarizes everything they come into contact with, so it isn’t really news that they militarized Greenland.
I wish it was still called “Thule Base” and the Eskimos were taught to fear the wrath of the righteous Aryan man.
