Greenland: The End of NATO?
From the author of USA vs Venezuela War: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
What happens when the most powerful military in the world confronts the limits of alliance, law, and geography? In Greenland: The End of NATO?, Pedro Santos explores a chilling scenario: a U.S. attempt to assert control over Greenland and the cascading consequences for NATO, Arctic security, and the global order.
This provocative, rigorously researched work examines:
- The strategic and legal complexities of Greenland's semi-autonomous status within Denmark.
- How Arctic geography and climate amplify operational costs and logistical challenges.
- The risks of coalition resistance from Nordic countries and Canada, turning rapid action into an attritional, multi-year engagement.
- The potential systemic and institutional consequences for NATO, including trust erosion, precedent-setting, and alliance transformation.
- How external powers?Russia, China, and global actors?would respond to a crisis, redefining deterrence and global security norms.
Combining military analysis, international law, and strategic foresight, this book is essential reading for policy makers, defense professionals, and anyone interested in the future of collective security.
Can NATO survive a Greenland crisis, or will the Arctic herald the end of one of history's most enduring alliances?
