Trump is brilliant on Greenland

Friday, January 16, 2026

"The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building," President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday. Trump is right. Grab a globe and look down from the North Pole, or check out this official Pentagon map. You will see that Greenland is pivotal to the Arctic front. Greenland's eastern coast guards the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom or GIUK. This is the entry gate to the Atlantic for Russian President Vladimir Putin's nuclear-armed submarines. Greenland hosts important early warning radar sites because its field of view covers so much of the bomber and missile flight routes from Russia and China. No Greenland, no Golden Dome missile shield.

More Faux News garbage..... Greenland already does host US Defense systems and would be happy to host a whole lot more.

For some odd reason they just don't want to be invaded and captured by the American 4th Reich of Fascists.

Tanking in the polls in every possible category isn't really considered good results, Major B.

Neither is alienating long-time Allies all around the world. Or LYING with every word out of his mealy mouth.

Then there's bombing countries all around the world. How about the more than half a million children he's murdered so that he could have tax cuts for himself and his friends?

Yeah, he's getting results... all of them bad.

Re 3

GFY coward.

I am on America's side when America is in the right.

When America is in the wrong I have no problem telling her.

It's my duty as an American to do so.

It's not my duty to kiss anyone's lying hateful arse. Only cowards bend the knee to facists.

But, hey, you do you.

You appear to be very good at getting on your knees kissing that big old nasty Trumpy arse.

#3 What "results," Major DEI Boazo?

Terrorizing Americans?

We decided to patronize one of the many Latino restaurants in Richfield for lunch. On the way there, we ran straight into an ICE raid. Right in front of our eyes, a group of masked men grabbed someone off the platform of a major bus stop in the area. In broad daylight. In front of probably 50 people at the gas station and intersection right by the stop. Community members blew whistles, got out their phones and used their voices to both alert others to the danger and to call out what was happening.

Heck of a job you're doing there, Brownie.

"Countries have to have ownership and you defend ownership, you don't defend leases. And we'll have to defend Greenland," Trump told reporters on Friday, in response to a question from the BBC.

The US will do it "the easy way" or "the hard way", he added.

Once the Danes give Greenland independence, there's no reason China or Russia won't try to bring Greenland into its sphere of influence.

Similar to how the US has put bases in Greenland, once independent, there's no reason Greenland can't kick the US out and bring in Russia/China. This is the threat Trump is envisioning. Is it real? Not yet, should the US wait until Russia is in Greenland to do something?

**** US Sending Soldiers to Military Exercise in Norway ****

"The upcoming Cold Response 2026 will be the largest military exercise in Norway in 2026 with an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 participants from more than ten countries. "There will be about 4,000 US soldiers," said spokesperson Vegard Norstad Finberg with the Norwegian Armed Forces when asked by the Barents Observer. The live phase of the exercise, which will train how quickly allied troops can be dispatched to protect the northern regions of Norway and Finland, kicks off on March 9 and will last for ten days. The US troops will for the most operate on land in Northern Norway. "This is primarily near the Norwegian Army's garrisons in Troms."

This is notable because in 2025 Dummkopf Trumpf signaled the US wouldn't be participating in NATO exercises after 2025.

The Dotard-in-Chief talked about the weakness of Canadian polar defenses to White House sycophants.

Dummkopf Trumpf bleated he may deploy the 11th Airborne Division ("Arctic Angels") to Minnesota under the "Insurrection Act."

The nefarious Trumpf junta is "shaking the mothballs out" of our arctic Soldiers.

I wonder why....

Dear Jonas:

Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway? There are no written documents, it's only a boat that landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless
we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT
