Bessent on Greenland: "Peace through strength. Make it part of the US and there will not be a conflict because the US right now, we're the hottest country in the world, we're the strongest country in the world. Europeans project weakness. The US projects strength."

Trump’s made it clear - give the US Greenland or we’ll attempt to ruin your economy. No backing away from what seems like an act of war now.

Americans are seeing this. I wonder where the 50 billion comes from.
NEWSMAX: If we take Greenland, can we get out of NATO and stop paying $50 billion a year?
REP. RANDY FINE: NATO needs the US a lot more than the US needs NATO. Greenland should be part of the United States.

Keep watching - Trump and his circle almost have their precious goal: invoking the Insurrection Act.
As per said before: a great deal of what is being done is simply Trump and his circle working backwards from this objective.

That Trump has actually asked generals to plan an actual Greenland attack leaked earlier in the week and it’s obvious from how things are developing that European intelligence services are telling their governments much the same

Strongest demand seen for a gilt auction since DMO records began in 1998.
Britain sold £900 million of an index-linked gilt due in 2035 and received orders worth £4.333 billion - the highest such ratio (4.81) seen in at least 27 years.

FIFA’s peace prize scam pays off
The Supreme Court sets aside lower court decisions upholding convictions for bribery related to the FIFA scandal because the Trump administration decided to dismiss those criminal cases "in the interests of justice." The FIFA prosecution ends in a whimper. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Meanwhile, on X a US Congresswoman is calling for full sanctions against the UK in case of further action against X.
Although I estimate both the UK outright banning X and full US sanctions as unlikely, this shows how the mood even towards the 'special relationship' closest ally is changing.

Time to stop writing articles about the "security" or "economic" reasons to capture Greenland, they are irrelevant
Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:
When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"

Always look under the bonnet of polls before reaching sweeping conclusions.
Even in this poll, left bloc voters are (a) less likely to say they'll vote(b) more likely to say don't know. Ergo more are taken out the sample and/or re-modelled.
Many left bloc voters aren't switching, they are hiding !
