To understand Trump’s Greenland Fixation, you have to go back to his 1987 trip to Moscow when he first spouted anti-NATO positions that were precisely aligned w/ the KGB. He even boasted about it in newspaper ads!
These are the statements made by Craig Unger in an article written on January 13th. Trump’s obsession with conquering Greenland has many purposes, aside from his claim of national security. The island has rare minerals uncovered. And his thirst for dominance in the Americas is well known. Yet his obsession comes with his disdain towards NATO, the organization that the US and European allies created in 1945. And this has to do with his decades long ties with Russia (Soviet Union before 1991). In the piece presented below, Trump’s conquest is a collaboration with Putin which serves as a fork: gift the Russian dictator with the most precious resources and destroy the alliance of NATO. Already Trump is now in a trade war with eight of NATO’s allies for defending the island controlled by Denmark.

I have read EVERY BOOK he has written over the years and he sheds so much light on so much truth to DJT.
As a rule, I try to avoid re-upping material I’ve written before. But occasionally it is unavoidable because we are locked in a long term battle—a war, of sorts, with Russia— that transcends the mind-numbing news cycles that are on rapid rotation and frequently obscure what is really going on. And to understand that war, you have to understand how it started.
I’m referring to the origin of Trump’s policies of seizing the president of Venezuela, of threatening to takeover Greenland, of abandoning Ukraine and God knows how many other overtures that threaten to destroy NATO, the Western Alliance, and overturn the entire world order.
Yes, the world order.
Let that settle in for a moment: Since the end of World War II in 1945, the United States—Republicans and Democrats alike— has had a policy that helped foster strong democratic institutions, strong market economies, and a powerful military alliance in Europe. To be sure, it has had its failures and controversies—Kosovo, Libya, Afghanistan, etc. But since it was established in 1945, the Western Alliance has become a fundamental cornerstone of the world we live in, and, especially with regard to Europe, it has been incredibly successful.
To millions of Americans, NATO, the Western Alliance, and foreign policy initiative are nothing more than vague abstractions. But in this very rare case, the United States implemented policies that were spectacularly successful. Whether it is consumer goods, travel, or military allies, Europeans were our friends.
Until now.
That’s because Trump wants to take over Greenland, an autonomous territory that is part of Denmark. And since Denmark is a NATO ally, Trump would, by attacking it, militarily or other means, in effect be destroying NATO and throwing away the most successful foreign policy alliances in American history.
All of which means he would be fulfilling Vladimir Putin’s wildest dreams. From a geo-strategic point of view, it’s nuts.
So where the hell did Trump get the idea to do this?
Well, I discovered the answer nearly ten years ago when I wrote House of Trump, House of Putin, and I reported that Trump’s articulation of this policy, or one very similar, originated in 1987, almost immediately after he returned from his first trip to Moscow.
The first hint that something untoward was going on surfaced on July 24, 1987, just after Trump returned from the Soviet Union, when an article appeared in a highly unlikely venue, the Executive Intelligence Review, that strongly suggested something mysterious was going on between the Kremlin and Trump, : “The Soviets are reportedly looking a lot more kindly on a possible presidential bid by Donald Trump, the New York builder who has amassed a fortune through real estate speculation and owns a controlling interest in the notorious, organized crime linked Resorts International. Trump took an all-expenses-paid jaunt to the Soivet Union in July to discuss building the Russians some luxury hotels.”
Donald Trump running for president? That sounded ridiculous. At the time, he was known largely as a brash playboy who had started making a killing in real estate. Moreover, the Executive Intelligence Review was an obscure publication that was the voice of the late Lyndon LaRouche, a conspiracy theorist who the Washington Post characterized as “an extremist crank,” so the idea that he would be running for president was hard to take seriously. Nevertheless, the EIR was also said to have strong ties to the Kremlin. And in this case, it happened that they were right.
At the time, thanks to his mentor, Roy Cohn, the dark, Satanic prince of American politics, Trump had hooked up with political strategist and lobbyist Roger Stone, who was cut from the same ethically challenged cloth as Cohn. Under Stone’s tutelage, on September 1, 1987, Trump suddenly went full steam ahead promoting his newly acquired foreign policy expertise, by paying nearly $100,000 for full-page ads(see above) in the Boston Globe, Washington Post, and New York Times calling for the United States to stop defending allies who were taking advantage of it.
