Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
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.

OH shut up you idiots.

- Trump is getting results.

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.

Destroying NATO is a "result". A stupid one.

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.

#3 Major DEI Boazo asks, "How about getting on the Side of the U.S. for once?"

Apparently, Major DEI Boazo talks to himself when he's looking in the mirror.

Not wanting the US to invade a NATO ally is being on the side of the US, you sleaze.

Abandoning eighty years of global cooperation led by the United States is certainly a result.

That's like saying we took over Venezuela because of the fentanyl.

In Venezuela, the real reason is oil.

In Greenland, the real reason is minerals.
