The heroic 44-hour German mission in Greenland.
When US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the US needed Greenland ‘because Europe is weak’, he ruffled a lot of feathers, but he is essentially right.
In the wake of renewed moves by the Donald J. Trump administration towards gaining control of the Arctic Island that presently belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark, Europe erupted, and vowed to defend Greenland.
Troops were sent! 15 French, 13 Germans, 2 Norwegians, 2 Finns, and 1 Briton.
If that was not ridiculous enough, we learn that the 15 German ‘heroes’ suddenly left the island ‘without explanation’.
The New Voice of Ukraine reported:
“The group flew out of Nuuk Airport aboard an Icelandair Boeing 737, according to the outlet.
Just a day earlier, reports had suggested that the German soldiers would extend their stay. Instead, they quietly left the island without notifying local authorities or making their departure public, Bild said.
A mission spokesperson did not respond to multiple requests for comment, and officials in Berlin also declined to explain the move.
According to the report, the withdrawal order came from Berlin on the morning of Jan. 18. The soldiers received no reasoning — just a directive to return home — forcing them to cancel all scheduled meetings. Their flight was booked for noon, meaning they spent just 44 hours in Greenland between landing and takeoff.”
The Bundeswehr later stated that ‘the soldiers have left Greenland as mission concludes’.
What mission? They changed a couple of lightbulbs? What could they accomplish in 44 hours?
Deutsche Welle reported:
“The German reconnaissance team that arrived in Greenland on Friday is departing the Danish territory as planned.
Fifteen soldiers were leaving the Arctic island on a civilian flight to Copenhagen on Sunday midday. The deployment was scheduled from the start to last only a few days and came at the request of Denmark.
The team was meant to assess conditions for possible NATO exercises, with the spokesman of the command control center having said Sunday that the mission was completed. ‘The results of the reconnaissance will be analyzed in the coming days’.”
