Greenland 🔶 2026
.
26-1-12 “Weapons Grade Stupid”? The U.S. Plan for Greenland - Spaniel > .The Magiosa Don has aimed his avaricious glance and his braggadocious lies at Greenland. Since "national security" is mostly ruse, establishing American bases is insufficient to satisfy his greed. Why does he insist on owning Greenland?
a) Canada's Arctic Islands and Canada's Northwest Passage offer oil, minerals (gold,
diamonds, zinc, copper, lead, nickel, iron ore, and REEs), and a sea route (control is contested, but held by Canada).
b) Oil (exploration for which the Greenland government banned 2021-6-24).
c) Minerals (mostly still beneath ice).
d) Thwarting China and Russia (neither of which has made a move towards occupation).
e) Dissolution of NATO. In
2023, Congress passed legislation (Section 1250A of the NDAA) prohibiting the
president from withdrawing the U.S. from NATO without a two-thirds Senate
majority or an act of Congress. Occupation of a NATO-protected nation would dissolve NATO and abrogate the USA's committment to military assistance of former allies.
Conversely, the militaries of other NATO nations would be arraigned against > the US.

The prominent political union of the region is the Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes all Gulf Arab states except Iraq. Most Gulf Arab states are former protectorates of the British Empire. Arab countries in the Persian Gulf region, and especially Qatar, stand accused of funding militant Islamist organizations, such as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. According to the 2025 Global Peace Index of the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), the seven countries had varying degrees of success in maintaining peace amongst their respective borders, with Qatar ranked number first amongst its regional peers as the most peaceful regional and Middle Eastern nation (and 27th worldwide), while Kuwait ranks second in both the Persian Gulf and the wider Middle East (31st worldwide), followed by Oman in the third spot (52nd worldwide). On the other end, Iraq was ranked last among the Gulf Arab States, at 16th in the Middle East and 147th worldwide.

Middle Powers & Multipolarity
.
25-9-5 Age of the Middle Powers - gtbt > .⟹ 2026 ..
The fading hegemon has lost its mind and is deep in debt, the duplicitous contender has blown its economy, and the belligerent great pretender has blown its economy on a war that it is losing. That leaves a hodgepodge of nations with incompatible sociopolitical attitudes.
