For some reason I'm reminded of this.
"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out."

After the Cold War, the US itself closed or sharply downsized many military facilities in Greenland, including Sondrestrom Air Base and early-warning radar sites. Denmark remained a loyal ally, and did not object to US presence. Claims of Danish security neglect are fallacious.

Few thoughts on the Greenland saga, summarized in a short thread. Some of these points have already sparked debate on X, but after Miller’s speech, I am even more convinced. 🧵Thread
1/ First and foremost, Denmark is not only a member of the EU, but also a founding member of NATO.

Those calling for Europe to "wake up" need to outline a plan. What does it mean for Europe to "wake up." I think Europe is very much awake. But it doesn't know where it should go. There's just a brain death default to more defense spending.

United States has explicitly approved Danish sovereignty over entire Greenland in 1916. There is no question on the issue.
"-- on 4 August 1916 -- With a single stroke of a pen, the USA accepted that the whole of Greenland was Danish territory." (USA got the "Danish West-Indies".)

The brazen US action on Venezuela should make us reassess the Trump regime's likely future behaviour. Especially coupled with subsequent remarks on Greenland, it seems unlikely that the US can in any sense be considered a reliable NATO ally any longer, no matter how often we call Trump 'Daddy'. 1/5
It's wild that the PM of a NATO member feels compelled to put out a statement like this vis-à-vis the US government.

News Analysis: President Trump's decision to send a high-powered U.S. delegation to Greenland, apparently uninvited, is already backfiring. Greenland has blasted him as “aggressive” and asked Europe for backup, and the visit is strengthening bonds between Greenland and Denmark.
Trump’s Moves on Greenland Appear to Be Backfiring
The Greenlandic government is calling an upcoming visit by Trump officials “aggressive,” pushing the island further from the United States.

A few days ago, I was thinking of America and the idea of Europe. Vance and Hegseth touched on this same exact matter in their recent notorious online conversation, so might as well post my thoughts here.
So, a thread follows. I'm no Americanist; this is mostly just thinking out loud.

Now would be a good time for some concrete actions. Like seizing the frozen Russian assets and handing them over to Ukraine.
Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.
We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.
