Greenland has become the clearest test yet of whether NATO will survive in its current form when the danger comes from inside, because Trump’s renewed threat of stealing allied territory should not be dismissed.
Yes Russia and China are getting what they wanted. Destroy the United States from within without firing a single shot. The years and amount of money spent to do this was cheaper than war.
The pissing match between Putin and Trump over 'who does it better' is an eye opener. Putin kills Ukrainian civilians and demolishes infrastructure as a military force. Trump chokes economic stability around the world and randomly bombs countries in the name of National Security. Who does it better? How will each escalate?
I raised six teenagers who acted out their fixed mindset differently but one thing was the same with each; it ended when their actions became more self destructive than gratifying. We wait.
Joe Biden is a good man, but not supporting Ukraine fully as soon as Russia invaded was a colossal mistake!
Imagine, had we done that we would have inspired allies to do something similar, and Russia would realize they had no chance against against a Ukraine with that kind of support. It is even possible that Putin's hold on Russia would crumble, and the country would have a chance to chart better course for itself.
Our robust response would also have made China reconsider its plans for Taiwan. As rational actors who are culturally used to taking the long view they would defer their plans for a more opportune time.
Ukraine's success might inspire some other former parts of the old USSR to break free of Russian influence. It is almost certain that Georgia would do so.
Yes, ordinarily a measured & moderate response is a good way to manage a situation, and Biden was a master at that. Unfortunately, this was an a rare case when only bold action could succeed.
POTUS thinks colonialism's demise was a bad idea - see his World Economic Forum 2026 Davos speech. And Ukraine brought on Putin's ire ... it's their own fault. At least the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact made some kind of sense at the time - delay until war preparations could be carried out. Now it's just the Chamberlain Munich "Agreement" all over again.
That self-destruction was likely in large part due to the response of peers, allies and foes alike. In Donald's case he has united all those against himself in such a way that no child could ever do short of being a pathological violent criminal (which Donald of course is).
The EU, UK Canada etc are never going to be so distracted by the daft Greenland threats that they forget to check their own interest in Ukraine. There are no single person dictatorships in the group so each has a more substantial team running respective governments than Trump's narrow White House team. We will not be distracted as we can multitask easily.
Ok… with respect to Biden and what happened before Orange Caligula Fuckhead the First ascended to power… everyone needs to take a breath.
As a former DoD policy and intelligence “official” and advisor, it’s entirely innocuous, possibly to have sought targeting information on Greenland.
Greenland has been strategic to the U.S. for a long time. We would have most certainly attempted to develop OPLANs for a couple of missions: rescue Greenland from an enemy assault; assault Greenland to deny it to an enemy; assault Greenland to protect it as a preemptive measure; deploy troops at Denmark's request to protect it from an adversary.
in all of those cases, the plans need to be thought through in advance, not seconds before we get there. We need accurate maps. We need to have intelligence that is accurate. We need to have all of the capabilities and probabilities mapped ahead of time.
We do this everywhere except the U.S. territory proper. We often do it with the direct help and consultation of our allies. They often are directly involved in the planning and development of our OPLANs.
We have plans on plans on plans on plans. We have plans if aliens attack with sex toys and land on the front lawn. We have plans about plans about plans. An entire group at the Pentagon does nothing but plans (J5). There is a similar group in Policy and in training and readness to similarly help and evaluate the tactical plans we develop.
I assure you, we have plans right now to invade Mexico and Canada. Not because we wanted to invade them, but because we had to think it through. Before Trump, none of these plans were done with any malice.
We had plans to retaliate against the Soviets in Europe. Those plans required us to have a detailed understanding of Poland, Germany, France, etc. We had plans on how to repel the Soviets across the French countryside.
Again, nearly all of those plans were done in consultation with the allies themselves. They saw the plans, they participated in their development.
But not always. Sometimes it's important for us that the government, if we think it could be compromised, not have full access to our planning. I don't think that would have been the case with Greenland, but it can be.
Again, before Trump, none of this would have been malicious. Nobody in the Pentagon prior to Trump would have seriously contemplated attacking the Danes. Their officers SERVE INSIDE THE PENTAGON... as do the Canadians... the Australians... the Dutch... etc.
This is just all lunacy...
And I agree with Judy and some others... The Russians are laughing their asses off... as are the Chinese...
In their wildest fantasies, I sincerely believe they lacked the imagination to see this one.
Hello William.... I agree, "This is just all lunacy.."... DJT is a True WMD, and Russia's Best Investment.... The Chinese Trade Empire is also expanding as it did during the Ming Dynasty...
Canada should quietly invite HI, WA, OR & CA to possibly become the newest Provences. If they did accept, the loss of Federal Tax revenue from the West Coast would starve the beast.
We do not need Greenland. We already have a base there. We could enhance that base and leave well enough alone. Trump is just to stubborn to back down on this whim of acquiring ownership. Whether it is a mandate to trump from Russia or just a whim of trumps, either way it is so very wrong …. Is it just another distraction/chaos to over shadow what ice is doing or not releasing the Epstein files… trump is just that insanely desperate 😡🤬
When you mention the Epstein files, it makes me think about how clouded your view of geopolitical events is. I would like to take off your Fox glasses a little. If the Epstein documents are important to you, then we have just been caught. I absolutely do not understand why you are dealing with this when you currently have a regular dictatorship in the country, the dictator you elected is regularly heading towards World War III and you are currently undergoing a political purge. Please open your eyes, stop looking at the whole world through your clouded optics. Please start to perceive the context of what has been happening in your country for years and this is only the result. Don't take it badly, you simply do not realize that you are living in an irrational bubble, while the world around you is starting to collapse and your regime is the mastermind behind it.
Otypka…if you had bothered to read ANY of my post or comments you would have to know I am not a supporter of this mad king that is sitting in our Oval Office. I DONOT watch FoxNoise as you implied nor have I ever in my nearly 77 years EVER voted for ANY Republican. And I don’t need AI or anything else to help me write a post . With a name like yours I have to believe you are not even an American so how about you climb off pal and keep your erroneous ideas to yourself self. I have re read my post to thread and have no idea how you came up w/any of what you sent to me….nor do I care. Get over yourself.
Dear Deborah, if there was a misunderstanding, I sincerely apologize. If you feel like I'm an AI bot, I'm sincerely sorry. I have verified my page, so if you took the time to look at my profile, you would find out that I'm a real person. Have a nice day.
I've already apologized to you several times.. I really don't like it. I also showed you that I'm a real person and you didn't even give me any points for that, so I think we have nothing to talk about. Have a nice rest of your day.
Have you been reading this woman's Substacks? Olga Lautman is no Fox News supporter or spokesperson. She is a serious researcher who has been warning about the things you mention for some time.
Esteé Lauder's sole heir Ronald Lauder presented his plans to #45's team for Greenland. His company wants its rare earth minerals! The adults in the room dismissed the idea.
Lauder approached the #fascist #regime of #47. This time, Lauder has company. Theil and the US tech oligarchs want Greenland bc they want to turn it into a network state.
In the meantime, Russia's Pu**n has assured the #fascist #regime of #47 that they would let the USA take Greenland. In addition, Russia would take Ukraine which is their backyard, and would leave Venezuela to the USA which is its backyard.
Olga—I am puzzled why Australia/New Zealand is left entirely out of this post.
We are under direct, enormous threat from the Chinese end of the Russia-China axis. Chinese ships have started circling our east coast; they punished us for not cow towing by banning our wines, lobsters and other products, crippling our most lucrative export industries. (They are our largest trading partner by far.) Their agents run amok in our communities spying for Beijing, threatening and terrorising our local diaspora Chinese, who overwhelmingly find themselves here became they want to live in a democracy, not a totalitarian state.
Meanwhile, our government supports Europe, the UK, Ukraine, and our Commonwealth ally Canada in efforts to constrain the Trumpo-Putin takeover.
I am a paying subscriber to multiple US websites striving to save your democracy, and have donated in direct support of Ukraine.
So why are we not regarded as part of your alliance? Can you explain this to me, please?
Time for Europe, Canada and anyone else owning US debt to make it crystal clear that any forcible or coercive move on allied territory will immediately trigger a massive bond dump. The US financial system will collapse.
Play the cards you hold!! Stop this maniac. World order demands it.
I watched Malcom Hance yesterday: https://substack.com/home/post/p-183696749 you should too. I found out why Trump is interested in Greenland, it isn't Trump but his handlers Musk, Thiel, Sachs and the tech bros.
It goes back to the Democracy Movement, founded by Musks grandfather Joshua Norman Haldeman .Joshua Norman Haldeman was a prominent Canadian leader and organizer for the Technocracy movement in the 1930s and early 1940s, advocating for rule by scientists and engineers, but grew disillusioned, eventually moving to South Africa where he promoted similar ideas alongside racist views, becoming the maternal grandfather of Elon Musk and influencing some of his technological ambitions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy_movement
Greenland and Canada as well as Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador (familiar?). Mexico, Cuba, Central America folds, and you have the Technate of America (Oceania), Euraia (Russia) and East Asia (China)
The Levant, Mid east, North Africa – Islamic, and global south exploted for resourcs and a source of competition and conflict.
NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization which is geo-political in nature.
IF you want democratic countries of
Australia, NZ, Japan, S. Korea, and Ukraine want to join the NATO alliance countries minus the USA, that geo-political alliance would be named something else.
💯 . Europeans need to close US military bases around Europe. As long as 45-50% of the US votes republican, they can illegitimately worm their way into power (with the help of bad actors like Musk, Israel, Russia and voting machine companies) and do a repeat of this fiasco with Trump. Military bases in Europe are a fox in the hen house.

Colossal mistake!
Biden took his advise from Sullivan…as he should have, but Sullivan was not willing to press Putin. The whole thing is a mess!
Yes, ordinarily a measured & moderate response is a good way to manage a situation, and Biden was a master at that. Unfortunately, this was an a rare case when only bold action could succeed.

Definitely. He’s a winner.
I see it as Europe's greatest test since World War II.

This is the real reason that Trump wants Greenland, it goes back to Musks Grandfather, run out of Canada, because of this: The Technocracy Movement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy_movement

Greenland is of interest because it is where Praxis City is to be located: https://www.insidehook.com/internet/peter-thiel-praxis-next-great-city-Greenland
Russia needs Greenland. I wonder whether Putin made a deal to allow Dopey Dozey Diaper Donnie to have Venezuela in exchange for Ukraine and Greenland?
There is one thing for certain, America is doing all the dirty work for Putin and Xi and the eventual loser will be America.
I wonder whether Iran will now go against Putin's orders and actually take out the Paedophile Psychopath as they threaten to do for so long?
One can only wish for the removal of the man who is destroying the world just for the sake of his determined desire to gain the worlds adoration.
How fast could NATO expel the United States and add Australia,New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and most importantly Ukraine.?
NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization which is geo-political in nature.
IF you want democratic countries of
Australia, NZ, Japan, S. Korea, and Ukraine want to join the NATO alliance countries minus the USA, that geo-political alliance would be named something else.
My understanding is that NATO has no procedure for expelling a member. I wish to be wrong about this. Can anyone answer definitively?
💯 . Europeans need to close US military bases around Europe.
