Greenland is becoming geopolitically priceless for USA

Why Greenland suddenly matters? Earlier, Arctic was frozen, Sea routes unusable, No one cared much

Now, Ice is melting, Arctic sea routes are opening, Ships can move between - Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean through the Arctic

This makes the Arctic a new global highway.

Greenland sits right in the middle of this. Geography shocker most people miss ( Very Strategic location)

Greenland is much closer to the US than to Denmark. Distance from Washington DC to Nuuk is less than Nuuk to Copenhagen

So, US sees Greenland as a direct security zone. Denmark is far away, US is next door.

China is already Part owner in a Greenland mining company, Trying to enter Arctic trade routes

Russia - Arctic neighbor, Long-standing polar military presence

As Arctic opens up - US fears China entering its backyard, Greenland becomes the choke point. US military already controls Greenland security

Important fact >>

In 1951, US and Denmark signed a treaty - US is responsible for Greenland’s defense

US maintains - Pituffik Space Base (earlier Thule Air Base), Part of NORAD missile and space tracking system

So, US already acts like Greenland is strategic territory. Trump wants formal control, not just presence

Dark Cold War history there - Two shocking facts. Nuclear weapons scandal

Denmark had banned nuclear weapons on its soil. Later discovered - US had secretly stationed nukes in Greenland

1968 nuclear crash - US B-52 bomber crashed near Thule, Carrying four hydrogen bombs, One bomb was never found, Radiation spread occurred

This shows - Greenland has long been part of nuclear strategy

How big Greenland really is?

This is where people underestimate it badly. Greenland area About 21.6 lakh sq km

India area About 32.8 lakh sq km

So, Greenland is two-thirds the size of India, Only 56,000 people live there. Bigger than India’s 10 largest states combined. Largest island in the world.

Minerals are the hidden gold. Greenland has 25 out of 34 critical minerals. Needed for - Defense systems, EV batteries, Chips, Modern technology

Earlier, Ice made mining impossible

Now, Melting ice, Easier access, Lower cost. This makes Greenland strategic treasure.

Political status of Greenland. Greenland is Part of Denmark But high autonomy

Timeline:

1979: Home rule
2009: Right to independence if people choose

Now:
Strong independence sentiment
Own parliament
Own government

This year:
Greenland may vote on independence
This creates a window of opportunity.

Trump’s calculation

Trump sees - Denmark is weak on control, Greenland wants independence, China is moving in, Arctic is opening

So he thinks - Make an offer Greenland cannot refuse Or strike a deal during transition

If US pays Denmark - Looks colonial, If US pays Greenlanders directly - Each citizen becomes multi-millionaire

Some estimates - Deal value up to $1.7 trillion

This is not new for America

US history - Louisiana Purchase, Alaska purchase from Russia. Alaska was mocked then. Today it is priceless.

Trump sees Greenland as The next Alaska The United States significantly expanded its territory through two major historical acquisitions: the Louisiana Purchase (1803) and the Alaska Purchase (1867).

Both are considered among the most lucrative and strategically important land deals in history.

Here how to connect the dot in super simple way :)

Few days ago, I read that several Indian states, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, and West Bengal, are signing new long-term coal power contracts.

The reason is rising electricity demand, especially during evening peak hours, even though cheaper renewable options already exist.

But why? Read the tagged tweet below, you will understand it.

A few months ago, Spain and Portugal faced multi-day blackouts. The reason was very simple. Too much solar and wind, and not enough grid stabilization

India is trying to avoid this same mistake.

So if I tell you in summary, the main reason is BESS.
Yes, India is importing it. Costs have come down a lot. But we still need it at a very big scale.

That is why the government is now looking closely at this domain. In the future, subsidies and PLI will come. This is just the first phase.

Made in India is a must. Otherwise, scaling up is not possible. You cannot depend on China for everything. Everyone knows this.

So this is just one dot. Now let us look at another dot.

A few days ago, I read this tweet. It was just a random regional news article, thanks to the X algorithm.

What caught my attention in this article is very interesting. I will talk about it in the next tweet.

🚨( part 2 )

India is quietly building SUPERGRID - the invisible infrastructure that will decide its clean-energy future

I think this should be the must read before any of yu invest in ENERGY sector :)

1/🧵

https://twitter.com/Normal_2610/status/1975477291980644603

india wants to generate 500+ gigawatts (GW) of clean energy by 2030 - solar, wind, hydro, etc.

the big problem: these energy sources are not near cities.

the power is made in deserts (rajasthan, gujarat), mountains (northeast, ladakh), and coasts (tamil nadu) but most people live far away.

so to move this clean power efficiently, india is building a massive new grid using HVDC (high voltage direct current) - the electric highways of the future.

HVDC can send huge amounts of power (like 6,000–12,000 MW) over thousands of kilometers with very little energy loss (3–5%).

basically, it’s like shifting from local roads (old AC lines) to express highways (HVDC lines).

I already share yu in part 1 - what HVDC means okay

Before going into Transmission Electrification theme - First understand this :)

Electricity can travel in two ways:

AC (Alternating Current) - the old way

DC (Direct Current) - the new way, called HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current)

1/🧵 HVDC is like using express highways for electricity - very fast, very long, and with very little loss.

It can carry huge power (like 3,000–12,000 MW) across thousands of kilometers with only 3–5% loss, while AC would lose much more energy.

That means you can make power where it’s cheap or sunny or windy, and send it far away to where people actually live - without wasting much.

This is why it’s called a quiet revolution - it’s not flashy like solar panels or windmills, but it just very efficient

India-UK FTA & Double Contribution Convention signed in May 2025 after 3+ years of talks.

Both governments call it a historic milestone & DCC is Hype

What the press releases won’t say about what was truly gained and what wasn’t.

1/🧵 UK projections say deal could raise bilateral trade by £25.5B by 2040 (₹2.68 lakh crore), boost UK GDP by £4.8B annually, and lift UK wages by £2.2B.

India gets tariff-free access for 99% of goods, UK gets major cuts on whisky and cars.

DeepSeek has barely made an impact, and now we're already facing the next wave of disruption.

The speed at which things are changing is insane—too much, too soon, too fast

but let's talk about the whole situation and How it affects Indian Market and Economy 1/n Even for those outside the tech world, the consequences are clear

DeepSeek could shake #NVIDIA's stock and cast serious doubt on high-cost data center projects worldwide.

Why would companies invest billions when the same work can now be done with millions?
