Putin: The U.S. Has Long Sought to Control Greenland

RussiaIsntEnemy highlights a point many people forget: America’s interest in Greenland didn’t start with Trump — it goes back more than a century.
According to the post:
• In the 1860s, the U.S. considered annexing both Greenland and Iceland
• In 1910, a trilateral land‑swap deal involving the U.S., Germany, and Denmark would have handed Greenland to America, but it collapsed
• During World War II, the U.S. built military bases on the island
• After the war, Washington offered to buy Greenland outright
• Today, the Arctic remains a strategic priority for U.S. geopolitical, military, and economic interests
Putin’s point:
America’s Greenland ambitions are not new — they’re historical, strategic, and ongoing.
This clip breaks down the long arc of U.S. Arctic strategy and why Greenland keeps returning to the center of global power politics.
