‘If the Bad Guys Start Shooting, It Comes Over Greenland’ vs. Europe’s Strategic Myopia

Pituffik Space Base

For decades, the world treated Greenland as a sentimental footnote in Arctic mythology rather than a linchpin in global security and modern technology. This was strategic negligence with real consequences.

By contrast, President Donald J. Trump saw what Europe could not, or perhaps would not: that Greenland is not a quaint curiosity; in the 21st century, it is an essential security asset and industrial necessity for the West. “Everything comes over Greenland. If the bad guys start shooting, it comes over Greenland,” he said.

From the Arctic flight path of Russian and Chinese intercontinental ballistic missiles to the Arctic shipping lanes increasingly packed with Russian warships, Greenland’s importance has surged.

Trump says Canada is against Golden Dome in Greenland

“Canada is against The Golden Dome being built over Greenland, even though The Golden Dome would protect Canada. Instead, they voted in favor of doing business with China, who will ‘eat them up’ within the first year!” the U.S. president wrote on Truth Social.

Carney travelled to Beijing last week to reignite economic ties with China – Canada’s second largest trading partner after the U.S. He left with a deal reducing tariffs on some Canadian agricultural goods and a quota allowing Chinese EVs to enter the domestic market.

WARMINGTON: Trump’s vile lie that NATO troops stayed behind front in Afghanistan pure fiction

There is an unchangeable “truth” that goes with a Canadian flag draped over a Canadian soldier’s casket and hundreds of patriots standing on a bridge saluting that can’t be erased no matter how powerful the person doing the erasing may be.

Trump was definitely out of line, Canada’s troops were exemplary.

China sees a chance to lure jaded US allies

HONG KONG—China has seized upon the disarray left by President Trump within the trans-Atlantic alliance, denouncing his push to acquire Greenland and trying to entice U.S. allies with the promise of reliable trade partnerships.

But as some of Washington’s traditional allies tiptoe closer to Beijing, they appear clear-eyed about the danger of leaving the U.S. embrace only to end up in the hands of another superpower.

“In a world of great power rivalry, the countries in between have a choice—compete with each other for favor, or to combine to create a third path with impact,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared in a speech Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Lutnick suggests Canada-China deal threatens CUSMA renegotiation

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says Canada is “playing with a set of rules that they haven’t really thought through” by moving to reset relations with China ahead of trade deal renegotiations with the United States.

Lutnick made the comments in an interview with Bloomberg in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday.

To hell with European cowardice

Until Europe wants to build a respectable military force instead of relying on American’s might, they can kindly, piss off.

ATO leaders posture boldly in words, but invisibly in deeds. They foolishly oppose Trump’s desire to protect America (and thus Europe) from Russian and Chinese nuclear missiles by securing Greenland for Golden Dome air defense.

It’s in stark contrast with the obvious fear NATO leaders have of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. For four years, NATO has been ultra careful to limit significant support for Ukraine’s valiant defense against Putin’s second invasion. Yeah, Putin scares them.

Somalis Now the Least Desirable Immigrant Group

Yes, that’s what billion-dollar fraud schemes in Minneapolis, and ten-million-dollar fraud schemes in Lewiston, Maine, will do to how Americans view Somalis: not well at all. The latest opinion poll by J.L. Partners rank Somalis as viewed far more unfavorably compared to other immigrant groups. And that poll was taken as even more Somali fraud scandals are being unearthed almost every week. In Minneapolis, there is still much investigation to be done, and some officials think that what they initially thought was a one-billion dollar fraud may balloon into a ten-billion dollar fraud.

Trump a rapist says Globe

America the predator: Trump wants to show the world he can take what he wants

For the past year, the world has been in a state of chaos. The United States, in the grips of its mad pirate king, has installed tariffs, removed tariffs, made deals, overturned deals, made threats, backed off threats, and all with the randomness of an infant that has not quite achieved object permanence. Nonetheless, a logic is starting to emerge, a logic that explains America’s actions: the logic of the rapist.

An Open Letter to Europe

In Europe, America is attacked relentlessly, while China is handled delicately.

I love Europe.

I took a job unexpectedly in Milan, Italy, when I was just 22 years old. I had graduated from college less than a year earlier, and my first real experience of adulthood was not in America, but in Europe. I did not arrive as a tourist drifting from museum to café. I arrived to work, to struggle, to adapt, and to build a life inside a foreign culture.

The US is actively seeking regime change in Cuba by the end of the year

Emboldened by the U.S. ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the Trump administration is searching for Cuban government insiders who can help cut a deal to push out the Communist regime by the end of the year, people familiar with the matter said.

The Trump administration has assessed Cuba’s economy as being close to collapse and that the government has never been this fragile after losing a vital benefactor in Maduro, these people said. Officials don’t have a concrete plan to end the Communist government that has held power on the Caribbean island for almost seven decades, but they see Maduro’s capture and subsequent concessions from his allies left behind as a blueprint and a warning for Cuba, senior U.S. officials said.

We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start

Developments in Minnesota closely mirror a scenario explored in a 2024 exercise conducted at the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, which I direct

Since January 6, roughly 2,000 ICE agents have been deployed to Minnesota under the pretext of responding to a fraud investigation. In practice, these largely untrained and undisciplined federal agents have been terrorizing Minneapolis residents through illegal and excessive uses of force – often against US citizens – prompting a federal judge to attempt to place limits on the agency’s actions. The Trump administration is encouraging the lawlessness by announcing “absolute immunity” for ICE agents. But if the secretary of homeland security, Kristi Noem, does not heed the court ruling, the consequences may be nothing short of civil war.

A civil war to protect criminal aliens is a lefty wish dream.

US to control parts of Greenland under Trump deal

The United States will control parts of Greenland by designating them as sovereign base areas under the terms of a proposed deal agreed in Davos.

Under the deal, which mimics Britain’s agreement with Cyprus, American bases on the Arctic island would be considered US territory, The Telegraph understands.

It would allow the US to carry out military and intelligence operations, as well as training, while also facilitating some local development, potentially including rare earth mining.

More … What we know about Trump’s ‘framework of future deal’ over Greenland

US President Donald Trump has announced there is a “framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland”.

The statement came as a surprise after days of mounting tensions, culminating with a threat to impose economic sanctions on eight close US allies which have opposed his plans to seize the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.

So what could this deal entail and will it be acceptable to Denmark and Greenland – both of which have made it clear they will not relinquish sovereignty of the world’s largest island in the Arctic?

Can’t help but notice that Carney is never in the loop.

Trump is right. America cannot afford to leave Greenland to Denmark

Europe and the US are in a full on dogfight over Greenland. Donald Trump’s late-night Truth Social posts, lambasting America’s European allies for their stance on the issue, prompted Emmanuel Macron to hit back against Washington in pointed terms: “We do prefer respect to bullies”. The US president’s earlier threats to impose tariffs to force the purchase of the semi-autonomous island received a similarly frosty reaction, including a rebuke from Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Greenland’s prime minister. Even Britain’s Sir Keir Starmer, careful with his words, condemned the tactic.
