Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said that an attack on Greenland would end NATO. This is not an exaggeration.
US intentions towards Greenland threaten NATO’s future. But European countries are not helpless
US threats to annex Greenland following the attack on Venezuela should be taken seriously. European countries have important leverage they should be prepared to use.

War caricature sense, but in the way power is being tightened and institutions are being bent to serve one man and one ideology. The effort by Donald Trump and his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, to politicize the upper ranks of the U.S. military fits that pattern almost point for point.

A US indictment doesn’t give you the right to invade another country, seize its leader, or decide who governs next. Criminal charges and non-recognition don’t erase head-of-state immunity, this is regime change dressed up as law enforcement.
