MOSCOW, January 21. /TASS/. AI simulations show that the United States would need no more than 10,000 troops to occupy Greenland, and between 50 and 60 countries receive an invitation to join US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace initiative. Meanwhile, in Syria, the Kurds refuse to surrender to the new government. These stories topped Wednesday’s newspaper headlines across Russia.
On January 20, Copenhagen decided to add another 58 troops to a 60-strong unit that was deployed to Greenland earlier. Denmark’s armed forces are practicing defense tactics and simulating potential clashes, said Chief of the Royal Danish Army Peter Boysen.
Meanwhile, Operation Arctic Resilience is ongoing on the island, involving 24 foreign troops from six countries - Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, France and Sweden. Germany withdrew its contingent from Greenland after it was stationed there for 44 hours. Berlin’s hasty decision may have been sparked by tariff threats from Washington against countries that have deployed their militaries to the island. And there are already some 200 Danish soldiers in Greenland and as many US troops. The United States sent NORAD aircraft to its Pituffik Space Base on Tuesday in a move that the North American Aerospace Defense Command said was coordinated with Denmark.
