The EurAsian Times article highlights the escalating geopolitical anxieties surrounding a potential US missile shield in Greenland, specifically referencing former US President Donald Trump's 'Golden Dome' initiative. The 'Golden Dome' is an aspirational multi-layered missile defense system envisioned by Trump to protect the United States against various missile threats, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. Trump has explicitly stated that US control or even annexation of Greenland is "vital" for the effective operation of this proposed shield, citing the island's strategic location on the shortest missile flight path between Russia, China, and North America. Currently, the US already maintains a significant military presence in Greenland through the Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base). This base, a crucial component of the US missile defense system and NORAD, houses advanced radars like the AN/FPS-132 Upgraded Early Warning Radar, which are essential for missile warning and space surveillance. Russia and China have indeed expressed considerable apprehension regarding these developments and the increased US military focus on the Arctic region. Russia's Foreign Ministry has publicly stated that projects like the 'Golden Dome' undermine strategic stability, while both nations have expanded and coordinated their military activities in the Arctic, leading to concerns from NORAD. However, claims made by Trump about an immediate, overwhelming Russian or Chinese military threat directly to Greenland, necessitating US annexation, are largely disputed by experts and contradicted by intelligence. Danish and Greenlandic officials have consistently and firmly rejected any proposals for the sale or annexation of Greenland, asserting its autonomous status within the Kingdom of Denmark. Experts also argue that existing defense agreements between the US and Denmark already provide Washington with ample access and capabilities for its security needs in Greenland, making annexation unnecessary for missile defense. The article's core claim of rising tensions due to US missile defense plans in Greenland and subsequent Russian and Chinese reactions is verified, though some of the rhetoric, particularly around the immediacy of threats and necessity of annexation, contains exaggeration.
