Germany ends troop deployment to Greenland

Germany has concluded its initial military deployment to Greenland, with the Bundeswehr confirming that a small contingent of soldiers has now departed the Danish autonomous territory.

Armed forces spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Peter Milevchuk told Germany’s Funke media group that the mission, which involved 15 personnel, had been completed as planned and featured close and constructive cooperation with Danish forces.

The deployment formed part of a broader European effort to bolster security coordination around Greenland, following rising geopolitical tensions linked to renewed US interest in acquiring the Arctic territory. Denmark announced earlier this week that it would host a military exercise on the island, with participation from several European partners including Germany, France, Sweden, Norway and the United Kingdom. Each country contributed a limited number of personnel, primarily for reconnaissance and coordination purposes.

According to Milevchuk, data gathered during the German mission will now be reviewed, marking the end of Berlin’s immediate on-the-ground involvement. The exercise followed talks between Denmark, Greenland and the United States that concluded without agreement, with officials acknowledging deep divisions between Washington and its European allies over Greenland’s future.



US President Donald Trump has recently renewed calls for Greenland to come under American control, arguing that it is strategically vital to counter Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic. Both Moscow and Beijing have dismissed those claims. Trump has also publicly derided Denmark’s military presence on the island and escalated tensions by threatening additional tariffs against countries opposing his position.

European leaders have responded sharply. French President Emmanuel Macron labelled the tariff threats unacceptable, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned they could damage transatlantic relations and reaffirmed EU support for Denmark and Greenland. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer likewise criticised the move, saying it undermines NATO unity and vowing to raise the issue directly with Washington.

  1. The ‘take-over of Greenland’ will involve non-government NGO’s and ‘business investment tools’ which will be directed at Greenland’s resources, with huge dividend checks paid annually to the Citizens of Greenland, similar to oil dividends that are paid to ASlaskan Residents (minus those Alaskans who live off the grid and escaping government rules, laws and control, of course…).
    The CIA will invest heavily with black funds donated (NOT loaned) by the World Bank in order to build shell companies and false business facades in order to get at the ‘Rare Earth’ minerals located mostly in the southern part of Greenland.
    And then, there’s the oil…
    This is what is happening in Venezuela, however,
    A military force invading Venezuela will be 16x’s worse that the 15 year fiasco in Vietnam. In addition, Venezuela would have allies from other nation-states aligning as Allies, as most of South America HATES the U.S..
    Instead, NGO’s and CIA companies have been created to run Venezuela’s petroleum industry without the need for ‘boots on the ground’; similar to Israeli HIAS invading and saturating the U.S. w/ illegal migrants via the Darien Gap

    Whether or not these companies and the oil wells will be secure to pump oil remains to be seen apart from guerilla-style tactics on the part of Venezuela’s Militia fighters remains to be seen.
    Nothing has ever been mentioned about China drilling for oil only 40 miles from the U.S. coast off of Key West has never been mentioned…
    Or the fact that Panama City is often referred to as ‘Little Beijing’…
    BAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAW!!!

    MAKE NO MISTAKE- The J3w$ have controlled Washington DC since 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson was blackmailed into signing-over the U.S. Treasury to the J3wi$h-owned ‘Federal Reserve Bank’ after the J3w$ (then known as Judeans) set him up with an underaged teen-aged girl.
    The stress became so great that Wilson had a stroke, and wifey took over behind the scenes as a proxy-style President.
