Interesting to see how global alliances work. Rutte seems to be praising Trump to get something done. Reminds me of diplomatic talks closer to home. Hope India's leadership navigates these power plays wisely. Our foreign policy has been strong lately.

"Peace through strength" - there's some truth to that. But true strength comes from economic power and self-reliance, not just military. Make in India is our path to that kind of strength. The Greenland issue shows how resource-rich areas become geopolitical chess pieces.

As someone living in Delhi but originally from the US, this Greenland talk has been going on for years. It's mostly political theater. The real story is what happens in Ukraine and Gaza - those conflicts affect global stability much more. Rutte is smart to link them.

Respectfully, I disagree with the article's framing. Calling Greenland "imperative for world security" seems exaggerated. Climate change affecting the Arctic is the real security issue there. India should lead in sustainable approaches, not follow old colonial-style thinking.

Davos meetings, Greenland talks... meanwhile our farmers need better prices. Global politics feels disconnected from ground reality sometimes. But I suppose these things matter for trade and technology which eventually trickle down to us. Complex world! 🤔
