Greenland is a sideshow. But there is signal.
You should be asking… why is the admin willing to piss off the Europeans to this extent over something that while strategically valuable is far from a core priority?
The answer is that the Trump admin knows something you don’t.
They are going to be pissing off europeans much more aggressively over the next 12 -18 months anyways.
Because they plan to enforce the transshipment clause in all those trade deals to force Europe to shut out China.
And that is going to throw Europe’s economy into a tailspin.
So what the admin is now doing is preemptively showing it doesn’t give a flying fuck about the “rules based order”
If you don’t want Greenland in the hands of the Americans you clearly don’t take the long term threat from China and Russia seriously.
And if that’s the case then f*ck you. We don’t need you, Europe.
And they are going to do a hundred things to show they mean it.
Because remember what I said a year ago.
Bessent wants to salvage the system. But if that fails the backup is the Vance doctrine.
And that entails walking away and letting it all burn.
When you start with a lens of strategic decoupling everything makes a lot more sense.

whoa!…. good points!
“Trust the plan”….. which i have nothing else to do
just more contradictory ‘hoopla’ confusion. B.S. On one hand Russia is the threat or both Russia and China are the threat.
On the other hand Putin sided with Trump ON Greenland since UK, Germany, France went to ‘defend’ Greenland.
Excellent – Yes
