Reminder: The "plan" to buy Greenland was cooked up by Putin's GRU during the first Trump administration to divide NATO

Reminder: The "plan" to buy Greenland was cooked up by Putin's GRU during the first Trump administration to divide NATO and normalize taking land without its citizens' consent. They faked a letter to white supremacist Sen. Tom Cotton to get the thing going.

Now it's basically turned into some kind of weird, fucked up Studio 54 for insurrectionists. I really wonder what is going on there that they're not telling us.

What does Greenland have in common with Ukraine?

Minerals baby!!!

Melting ice in Greenland is exposing the country’s critical mineral resources. Mining companies, governments and billionaires are all eyeing the largely underexplored wealth.

Ukraine is home to a vast array of critical minerals with an estimated value in excess of US$26 trillion, making it a significant player in the global supply chain.
