One of Donald Trump’s top aides has ramped up the pressure on Denmark by questioning Copenhagen’s claim to Greenland.
Stephen Miller, the US president’s deputy chief of staff for policy, also claimed military intervention would not be needed to take over the Arctic territory because “nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland”.
Sure Greenland is going to be prime real estate due to climate change, but people like Miller are going to be long dead by then. And I don’t think this crew in charge of the white house are so altruistic and concerned for the future of America that they want to secure resources for a century or two down the road.
Besides, we have much bigger concerns if Greenland melts than if we have land to settle.
It’s far more likely some kind of Russia-connected plot for strategic positioning.
Yes, it’s Putin who wants this! But taking Greenland is still in America’s best interest, from a strategic point of view, current world politics and near-term consequences be damned.
As to the future of America, I’m starting to see the light, starting to see how truly dangerous these people’s long-term vision is. Trump is all simple-minded greed, but Project 2025 and the like is far worse.
These people truly believe in a Nazi vision of a 3rd Reich. They want to etch their names in history books. They truly think they’re doing what’s right for America, now and in the future. Don’t all dictators?
My only hope is that, like Hitler, giddy on success, they bite off more than they can chew.
