فانس يقوم بزيارة ”عدوانية“ إلى غرينلاند

By Phil Bainbridge

March 27, 2025 - من المقرر أن يزور نائب الرئيس الأميركي جيمس ديفيد فانس قاعدة الفضاء - التي تخضع لسلطة الولايات المتحدة في غرينلاند - فيما يُنظر إليها على أنها شكل من أشكال الحرب الهجينة المصممة لزعزعة استقرار الأراضي الدنماركية الاستراتيجية.

Greenland is the world’s largest island and an autonomous Danish dependent territory with self-government and its own parliament.

Because it straddles the Arctic circle between the United States, Russia and Europe, Greenland is a geopolitical prize that the U.S. and others have eyed for more than 150 years. It’s even more valuable as the Arctic opens up more to shipping and trade, with the Northwest Passage and Northest Passage cutting thousands of kilometres off Suez and Panama Canal routes from the Far East to Europe and the U.S. east coast.

Despite boasting vast oil, gas, and rare earth mineral reserves, the island depends heavily on fishing and annual subsidies from Denmark, which cover roughly half of its public budget.
