Let’s not forget, too, that the interest started with a forged letter to Sen Tom Cotton in 2019, who then pitched the sale of Greenland. Danish intelligence determined the letter had been placed by Russia.
What I mean to show is how the global kleptocrats operate. Ronald Lauder, a man who has met Putin many times, is also being awarded the contracts to mine Ukraine’s lithium in that “minerals deal” and a loud proponent of Ukraine being forced to accept Russia’s 28 “piece deal”.
What should be clear is that the world will not be enough for these people. In the system we have, they have made their way to the top and have vastly more than any person could ever need for themselves and their descendents…. and they want more.

A war with Venezuela doesn’t give you the clout to impose martial law and suspend elections, but a war with Europe does.

Firstly: Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Prime example of that.
Secondly: Why do we need British journalists to concisely write down where Trump’s motivation comes from and what an absolute failure of a human he is.
Thirdly: Please support The Guardian if you can. In the age of neo-fascism we need bold and intelligent voices to speak truth to power.

Why the fuck can’t these guys just live their last days in peace, instead of trying to hoard even more wealth right before they die?

The Greenland fixation comes from Putin.
The Arctic circle was one of Putin’s big fixations and almost non existent in all other circles. Which makes sense when you look at a globe from the top. For transportation issues the Arctic circle is the shortest distance from one point to another in Russia. The problem is obviously the environment and the few non ice covered passages. A large portion of those passages go by Greenland.
Now the main person that benefits from a Northern passage is Russia. If it became widely used it would be the equivalent of the Cape Route for Russia. The Cape Route is one of the reasons for South Africa’s economic success making it a transit port for a large portion of the world’s shipping. After the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal, the Cape Route is the third most used shipping lane in the world. Putin would like the Arctic circle to be the northern equivalent of this. Greenland occupies a major part of this proposed Arctic circle route. If it was to become a major shipping lane, Greenland would need to be developed. Putin wants the US to spend the money to develop and open the Greenland segment of this shipping route.
This is why Greenland is important and not for the frozen resources that will be incredibly expensive to dig up. Every resource in Greenland can be found somewhere else for cheaper and would be easier to extract. The importance of Greenland is location more than anything else.

Shame, I loved MAC, clinique, too faced, and smashbox but I’m not buying their shit anymore
Boycott that fucker.
Billionaires need to go. Humanity doesn’t need them. No one needs that much wealth.
Just another proof that billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Make sure he’s added to the Nuremburg list for later prosecution.
Another smug face who has never been told no.
The EU needs to place sanctions on this billionaire and scrutinize any real estate or business interests he holds in Europe.
