We Need To Talk About Greenland

Read the UK Press and you'd think Trump was about to launch an American invasion. Europe would do better to acquiesce. Here is the context...some pragmatism, and some truth.

In an era of escalating global tensions, President Donald Trump has decided Reagan's old mantra of ‘Power Through Might’ is necessary to reset the Global Order, before it slips inexorably in favour of the Anti-Western Axis.

Yet he has also found he is alone.

While America pumps money into defense and Trump has taken the world's temperature and found it febrile, Europe continues to not only self-harm through geopolitical naivety, Net Zero stupidity and open border idiocy, but have become deeply unreliable allies.

The stories of Greenland and the proposed Chinese Mega Embassy are inseparable. How can America trust a Europe that increasingly rolls out the red carpet for its enemies? That is at the heart of the Trump's new found aggression.

His renewed push to acquire Greenland from Denmark stands as a testament to his strategic foresight and unyielding commitment to security. As the Arctic region becomes a hotbed of geopolitical rivalry, Trump's insistence on bringing the world's largest island under U.S. control is not just ambitious—it's essential.

With adversaries like Russia and China eyeing the Arctic's riches and strategic advantages, Trump's vision emerges as ambitious and uncompromising decisiveness to protect freedom and prosperity.

This article takes you through all the rational reasons why Trump's bluster makes sense. And why Europe's intransigence is the thing upping the ante.
