Greenland clarification
Trump says no, he’s not going to attack Greenland:
President Donald Trump told the World Economic Forum that he won’t use force to take Greenland from Denmark.
“We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be, frankly, unstoppable, but I won’t do that,” Trump said, reported by Politico. “That’s probably the biggest statement I made, because people thought I would use force, but I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force.”
Trump also reinforced that him wanting Greenland has nothing to do with power or greed.
It has to do with protection:
“We want a piece of ice for world protection… We’ve never asked for anything else—and we could have kept that piece of land, and we didn’t. So, they have a choice. You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no, and we will remember.”
The reference is to Golden Dome.
I tend to assume that Trump is very strategic and tactical, even when it sounds like he’s impulsively mouthing off. That doesn’t always mean the mouthing off works as planned. Sometimes it doesn’t, although more often it has. Was his previous insinuation that maybe he would use force a tactical feint? I think probably, to make the alternative – negotiating and ultimately giving in – seem better to the Europeans. Was it counterproductive? I don’t know.
Much-appreciated longtime commenter “Paolo Pagliaro” gave the view from Italy yesterday, before Trump backed off on the consideration of using force:
You can bet that “Trump’s mild saber-rattling about Greenland gives his enemies ammunition for stirring up fear.”
Promising to get your hands on a land legitimately belonging to another country who did nothing to you, and with which you could entertain any kind of joint collaboration, resorting to bullying from the beginning, is not a great strategy to win consensus and trust, to say the least.The vast, vast majority of the people here in Europe is now convinced that Trump is a deranged buffoon bent on destroying everything in order to appease his ego: the media is immensely partisan, but why should they think differently? No one is normally interested in spending time understanding what’s really happening in the US, if the PotUS never tries to be diplomatic and his standard approach is “if you don’t obey I will punish you, because I only do my interests”.
On Greenland Trump is simply wrong: you can have all the legit reason to desire this land, but once you assert your **right** to it just because you are interested, what can you say to China or any Communist regime?
Of course, as Paolo indicates, most of Europe and the European press probably already think Trump is “a deranged buffon bent on destroying everything in order to appease his ego.” So perhaps his initial hint at using force over Greenland doesn’t matter because they already detest and fear him quite enough. What was it that Machiavelli (another Italian) wrote – that if you can’t be both loved and feared, it’s better to be feared than loved. I imagine Trump has taken that counsel to heart.
At any rate, his explanation makes sense – at least to me. I make no predictions about what will happen in subsequent negotiations.
[NOTE: This has little to do with the post, but it has to do with Greenland.
I once was coming back from Europe and flew over Greenland on a very clear day. It was exceptionally beautiful, with the icebergs sparkling in the sun.
And this song comes to mind:
I don’t want it by force
Buy or trade Minnesota for it
Except for Greenland Europe seems to be in the rear view mirror. The Europeans are so reflexively anti Trump it really makes no difference. Europe is being taken over by Islam and transitioning to a third world dictatorship. C’est la vie.

Yes, our press and the public are and have always been reflexively anti-Trump. But there ARE people here who you can have a reasonable discussion with, and who will at least CONSIDER that Trump might have reasons to do or say something.
But honestly, I am getting tired of trying to see Trump’s side, and of trying to explain his actions even to reasonable people. Especially since he ran on a clear isolationist message, and suddenly does this about Greenland.
The US already has facilities in Greenland, and could easily have added more. Perhaps lower tariffs a bit in recompense. I see no discernible reason whatsoever for the recent rhetoric. Unless Trump is trying to wreck NATO completely. Is that what he is trying to do? Or is he trying to get into the history books as the President that bought the biggest piece of real estate since the Louisiana Purchase?
The way things are going, I don’t think the next POTUS will be Vance, but rather a Democrat who will try to put together again the crockery that Trump has broken. Is this a genius plan by Trump to make sure his successor will be so busy repairing things that he/she can’t do anything else?
@Gorgasal:Unless Trump is trying to wreck NATO completely. Is that what he is trying to do? Or is he trying to get into the history books as the President that bought the biggest piece of real estate since the Louisiana Purchase?
Trump is not a dictator. That Greenland is some whim of Trump’s that he thought of just recently is media narrative. That Greenland is a potential hole in US security, especially with respect to Russia, has been a focus of the US government since at least 2022 when, you will recall, Trump was not in the White House. From September 2022:
Just because the talking heads are chattering about it just now, doesn’t mean that the issue was not a focus long before. A lot goes on in international diplomacy that you don’t see in the media.
I suspect that if the US had reasonable assurances from the Danes that expansion of the US defense footprint would not be impeded this Greenland drama would not have been necessary.
Face it, Europe is mostly feckless and hostile to normal (not leftist) American interests. They haven’t taken their own national defense seriously since the USSR collapsed and haven’t kept the Muslims at bay in their own countries. Totally f’ed by Brussels (EU) and the a-national global elites (WEF/Davis).
Gorgosal
The pottery was broken before Trump took office. I think the time for polite conversation has been over for awhile. Of what use is NATO? The US is pretty done with footing Europes defense bill while Europe self destructs and looks down their nose at us.
Gorgasal, President Trump did not run as an isolationist. He was against the quagmires and “forever wars”, like our adventure in Iraq and Afghanistan that produced little in the way of peace and security in the Middle East, did nothing to turn either country into democracies, and had little benefit to the US. It’s a cost benefit thing, IMO.
I think people wanted to paint his policies in big swathes of generalities, instead of understanding them as much more nuanced. His use of military force, even in his first term, was not isolationist.
It’s more “you mess with us, and you’ll regret it”.
President Trump prefers bilateral arrangements, rather than multilateral– so there is that.
Look at what he does, more than what he says. Part of his strategy is to overcome diplomatic inertia. NATO is a classic example. European defense spending had declined from over 3% in the mid 80’s to 1.4% by 2015. President Trump called out the European defense spending in 2017, since they had agreed to 2% spending during the Obama administration, if I recall correctly. It still took another 8 years to get the spending to the 2% levels.
With all the tense and depressing news, the president need a few laughs. So, every night before bed, Melania reads him the latest analysis of “the Greenland Thing.”
That’s why.
You’re welcome.
This is DEFINITELY a step in the right direction. Poland is building four military bases for US use. Poland, Estonia, Latvia. That should be out Euro focus:
https://cdrsalamander.substack.com/p/plan-salamander-operationalized-at
Gorgasal, it’s very informative to get a European perspective on Trump. We’re all defending him, every I suspect everyone, from Neo down to the commenters here wish he was more strategic in his use of hyperbole as a negotiating tactic.
” is he trying to get into the history books as the President that bought the biggest piece of real estate since the Louisiana Purchase?” -Gorgasal
Two things can be true at the same time. No doubt he would find personal satisfaction in being the President that oversaw such a strategic purchase of real estate– especially since his career has been as a real estate developer.
But, as has been pointed out, our military has viewed Greenland as militarily important for some time. I’ve notice that many people like to point out that the US had a greater military presence in the past as an argument against an increased military presence in the future. Things change.
We would like to purchase Greenland, because China has made initial moves into Greenland, as an example.
Shenghe Resources has purchased mineral rights in Greenland, though Greenland’s prohibition on uranium extraction has affected extraction of other minerals.
But it highlights that without ownership of Greenland, and even with long term leases, the whims of political change could affect US strategic use of Greenland.
Greenland is critical to the development of a proposed “golden dome”, missile defense system to protect the US mainland from potential attacks from China or Russia. Greenland wouldn’t be used for anti-missile batteries, but for it’s location as an early warning system for satellite based anti-ballistic systems.
It’s also going to be critical for global satellite commercial communication systems.
I’m old enough to remember when Europeans knew, absolutely knew Ronald Reagan was “a deranged buffoon bent on destroying everything in order to appease his ego*.”
Bush I and II: “deranged buffoons bent on destroying everything in order to appease their egos.”
*There was literally a puppet show on British television depicting Reagan as a monkey. Then, of course, depictions of Bush II as a chimp.
And of course the Europeans (Nobel Committee) gave The Lightbringer (BHO) the Nobel Peace Prize and preferred FJB to President Trump. Somehow Europeans forget that FJB’s junta plausibly emboldened Putin to invade Ukraine.
Not too clever, Europe.
European elites and media were absolutely sure that a nuclear freeze (USSR information warfare) was existential, followed of course by global warming. Easily led astray they be.
Thank you Rufus for pointing out the inevitable transformation of Republican Presidents from evil fascist masterminds who can’t tie their own shoes into wise and revered elder statesmen – it’s the *current* Republican President who is an evil fascist mastermind who can’t tie his own shoes! Watch them fawn all over Trump once he’s out of office while Vance or Rubio or (insert name here) becomes the latest EFMWCTHOS.

Check your news outlets everyone, especially those from Europe….Trump and the head of NATO have reached an agreement on Greenland. Once again he plays people like a violin…gets them all riled up and then makes a true deal benefitting the US….and the Ds and the lefts continue to look like fools.
Gorgasal:
FWIW I’d estimate half the commenters here opposed Trump in 2015. Including myself. I didn’t like his bombast, he didn’t have experience in government, and he didn’t look like a safe pair of hands.
I still don’t like his bombast, but I appreciate his accomplishments. Democrats and Europeans look more irrational and unsafe.
Beep beep!
The roadrunner is orange.
Gorgasal, here’s a fellow European who seems to have a pretty good understanding of the Trump playbook, Niall Ferguson. If you remain confused about President Trump’s tactics, feel free to ask anyone on this blog, especially Neo.
The commenters are sure to give you at least three explanations for anything outrageous the President may say.
Niall Ferguson LIVE From Davos: Greenland, Trump vs. Europe & More
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8vC_P0CWho
I’ll give you my unsolicited impression of European politicians. I’m curious if you agree.
If talk by European politicians could solve the world’s problems, we’d be living in Nirvana. I have never seen so much talk while doing so little to actually solve anything.
The Trump Corollary on the Monroe Doctrine is entirely CORRECT. Leave Western Europe behind. Embrace Eastern Europe. Eventually walk away from NATO. Walk away from the UN. Work hard to make allies out of the American Continent. I absolutely agree with this.
Zerohedge reports on the Trump Deal with Greenland (citing JP Morgan and NYTimes sources) — and it is exactly what I expected a couple months ago.
“Greentanamo: Trump Deal Gives US Sovereignty Over Small Pockets Of Greenland For Military Bases
“The deal is similar to the United Kingdom’s bases in Cyprus, which are regarded as British territory..” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-arrives-davos-after-air-force-one-electrical-issue-sparked-brief-delay
It’s not a trip and read report. After recounting history, the story suggests “[that] while the US will go from having a military base in Greenland on semi-autonomous territory to… having a base in Greenland on autonomous territory, all Trump needs to do is change the name of the island to Greentanamo and declare victory, and the entire episode will be forgotten.”
Now, I don’t agree with this withering “and forgotten” dismissal. I think the entire fracas was really about messaging the EU: “Reform, or disband!”
Although no one uses such direct terms, it sums up the Administration’s view of Europe.
I listened to Trump’s speech and Q&A with the WEF CEO that followed. He wasn’t expected to go on a length, but did.
And interest in his talk and appearance looks very high. For example, the room was overfilled, and the big screening room was full too — interest was that high!
I view his long talk as his chance for Trump to bypass the state media and the European-news filter that’s always processed through the NeoMarxist and Gynocratic New York Times, and speak directly to the people of Europe.
There is nothing like the New Alt-Right media that’s grown wide and deep since the DrudgeReport was bought out and turned completely Left. There is nothing in Europe like the small news aggregator site, news ammo.com (one word, naturally).
Trump complimented Europe, admiring his roots (Scotland and Germany) there and praised their people, but then going off at length about the EUs problems in energy and decade of economic decline and Net Zero Follies. He contrasted the EU with the US, BIGLY. Seriously.
We want a strong successful Europe! said Trump.
THIS was a standout charm offensive with a warning off to China and Russia.
Trump did not say “please get competitive again”, Europe — “before it’s too late!” But he sure could have.
Thanks for the reminder of the Greenland song. I grew up with the Limeliters version (which I prefer to P, P & M’s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AK9sCiZr88
The lyrics stuck with me 60 years later: “Greenland is a dreadful place, a land that’s never green/ Where there’s ice and snow and the whale fishes blow, and the daylight’s seldom seen.”
I’ve been to Greenland, stopped over on a North Atlantic cruise passing. Beautiful, especially the passages to get there, but it’s basically a giant “Indian reservation”, meaning poor indigenous people without much to do as there is no industry or development other than fishing and such. So no one in their right mind would want it since it is just a giant welfare state surrounded by ice – unless you needed it for military purposes, or maybe some mineral development if you could the stomach for the cost. Denmark obviously isn’t interested as there is no development there yet, and one reason they tried to sterilize the native population to save on the welfare costs.
The funny part is the vast, vast number of Europeans never gave Greenland a thought or care, and we have a German coming over and commenting on it – who I guarantee never gave the territorial possessions of Denmark a second thought, and before this situation would have called its ownership a legacy of European colonialism, like the German colonies in Africa. So the reaction by Europe is not about Greenland, but a reflexive reaction as they go through their cultural and industrial death throws, which is why Trump did what he did.
In the end there will be US control of bases in the territory, but like a giant embassy they will actually “US territory”, getting away from a Guantanamo Bay situation, which is a lease and not US territory.
I don’t particularly care what Europeans think, will wait to ask their Muslim masters running a pre-industrial “green Eutopia” in 20 years.
The Danes must be asleep,hypnotized or just plain stupid.. Supporting 60,000 Greenies to the tune of US$1 billion per year, every year, no end in sight?
Well Gorgasal, I think you’ve helped set a record for most comments on Neo’s blog ever opening with a German name.
I appreciate your perspective, thank you for sharing it. It’s generated some good conversation which is welcome here.
A week ago I was in a session where a man of Danish heritage explained that the Danes were basically “racist” when it came to the Greenlanders, not thinking very highly of them and not too interested in their welfare, etc.
I just now wondered if that was due to the population in Greenland having a significant fraction of indigenous people (Inuit). My quick search shows Greenland has a population of about 57K and of those, 51K are Inuit or related. Thus perhaps only 6K folks of core European heritage? Previously I had believed that mix would have been reversed, with only a small % of indigenous people.
While the ethnicity of that population should have no bearing on how the US views its national security needs, it makes me wonder why the Danes are so resistant to a larger US role, except as an admission that they alone (or even with NATO) are not up to the task of resisting China or Russia in that part of the world.
[It is interesting that Neo’s blog has quite a few non US persons, US citizens living abroad, and well traveled residents commenting here.]
“We want a strong successful Europe! said Trump.“
Ah, but TJ (and DJT, for that matter), the EU does NOT WANT a “strong and successful Europe!”.
It wants a fearful and compliant Europe.
A “Do-as-we-say-and-follow-our-laws-if-ye-know-what’s-good-for-ye’” Europe.
A wretched, diffident, always-looking-over-its-shoulder Europe.
It wants a population the EU can control, using carrots and sticks, without too much trouble or effort, greatly assisted by an entirely supportive, reliably distorting, perverting, corrupting media, infotech sector—and now, AI—for which “truth” and “honesty” mean saying, reporting and doing anything that helps the ruling elites maintain an iron grip on total power, while maintaining coverups and radio silence whenever it is deemed necessary.
As for “strong and successful”, THAT’S for the elites themselves along with those industries, groups and organizations they decide to favor, so as to keep their thuggish plans, advantages and power flowing.
What’s the expression? Fascism with a smile? Big Brother?…masquerading as efficiency, concern, compassion, support for human rights, legality and—of course—firmly against racism of any kind (except that which is believed useful and therefore a moral imperative for all moral and right-thinking people).
In brief, not only does the EU NOT have Europe‘a interests at heart. It is suicidal.
One can say the same, unfortunately, for almost the entire Anglosphere, as it is currently constituted…as well as for DPUSA.

Trump’s desire to have an assured presence in Greenland, to the point of buying it from either Denmark, the Greenlanders, or both, may be rooted in the events occurring in another part of the world that affect an important US base on an otherwise negligible island in the Indian Ocean.

Here is some background on the base and the island; it’s quite interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Garcia
The British want a proposed lease “for 99 years” with options to renew.
Ask Hong Kong how the Brit’s last lease on Chinese-influenced territory worked out.
However, the history of settlement on the islands (uninhabited until the late 18th century, when Europeans used it for a small French settlement, a small British settlement, a French leper colony, a French slave-labor plantation, and later several capitalist plantations) doesn’t really give the aggrieved Chagosians much say in the matter, although the 1000 or so descendants of the laborers still living there when the US base was built were tossed out with rather tough measures, and have legitimate complaints about that.
Like everything involving land and people, it’s complicated.
…In fact, suicide (along with the “assisted” variety) seems to have become a cherished European value—and moral imperative…

I love the whiplash from my D/left friends: 2 days ago Trump was a conqueror, militarist invader who wanted to take over the world starting with Greenland. All sort of posts stating “I stand with Greenland!!”. Now, after the framework for the resolution comes out, it’s “Trump is such a weakling. He totally caved to the EU. He’s such a TACO!”
Not surprising. Their TDS totally dominates their incoherent thought processes.
The usual US-oriented map of the world shows Greenland as an island between the US and Europe, with other islands between it and North America. And the Mercator projection shows it as large as South America.
From a military point of view–sorry–the perspective is more important if looking down on the North Pole and seeing the relation of the land masses surrounding the Arctic Ocean. Which, according to Al Gore, has been ice free for twenty years.
Many years ago when the USSR was still a Thing, PBS ran a piece on the Third Battle of The North Atlantic–the first two being associated with various world wars–and the US Navy’s deplorably lousy (It was PBS) preparation to fight it. I ran into a retired Naval officer who’d taught at some advanced school–Naval War College maybe–and asked him about it. He turned purple, more or less. About the depiction of the Navy.
What was a given, even by PBS, was that the “Greenland-Iceland-UK Gap” would be of prominent importance should another war come over the horizon.
A few “pockets” here and there with appropriate military capabilities would be useful in deterring an attempt by either Russia or China to do the same and/or come through the Gap.
With the exception of us, pretty much every country in the world has had at least a few weeks’ worth of experience with parliamentary government. Iraq did until Sadaam overthrew it and now they have it again. So, to that extent, we succeeded. Culturally, they’re eons ahead of other Muslim countries, but not up to Southern Calfornia as presented by the Beach Boys.

The “good” news (for him and his party) is that while providing China with a rather impressive platform from which it can threaten the US, Carney will oh-so-conveniently be able to blame Trump for “forcing” him to implement this self-destructive—and potentially destructive to the US, but as mentioned, that’s the whole point of the exercise.

I think we are using different scoring systems.
With the exception of us, pretty much every country in the world has had at least a few weeks’ worth of experience with parliamentary government. Iraq did until Sadaam overthrew it and now they have it again.
==
Latin America has almost no history with parliamentary government. Neither does China. Tropical African countries with electoral systems generally prefer separation-of-powers. Iraq had intermittent parliamentary ministries between 1920 and 1958; the end came not at the hands of Saddam but of Abdul Kareem Qassem. Saddam was not in charge of Iraq until about 1974. Quite a scrum of Muslim countries have a history with electoral politics, though not necessarily parliamentary forms of it. That would include Senegal, northern Nigeria, Morocco, Albania, Bosnia, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
Trump is normalizing crazy, and for no good reason. There’s nothing about a right-leaning policy agenda or even a populist policy agenda that requires crazy.

I’ll add that the average European, not just their “elites” have not just mocked US Leaders, but, also the average American – too many Europeans/Canadians seem to think we are all just a bunch of illiterate rednecks running around with guns hunting down black folks. or something along those lines.
Gorgasal: “But honestly, I am getting tired of trying to see Trump’s side, and of trying to explain his actions even to reasonable people. Especially since he ran on a clear isolationist message, and suddenly does this about Greenland.”
I totally get where you are coming from on that; might I give you a suggestion? Do as I have done, if they aren’t open minded do not waste your time with them. If they are open minded do as I do and tell them to look at Trumps record – don’t take what he says literally, rather look at what he does or accomplishes.
A good example I use is from his first term. For the first few months he was sending out stupid tweets which got the news media in a uproar. “OMG, can you believe he said that?!” and for the next several days the news media was all about Trump’s stupid tweet. In the meantime the real news was that he was issuing Executive Orders which were basically undoing Executive Orders that Obama had issued. Trump was smart enough, and clever enough to know that he needed a distraction so the news media wouldn’t dwell on what he was really doing. He wasn’t, in my opinion, being dishonest; rather he was just playing with the news media. I kept waiting for the news media to catch on; but after 6 months or so I got tired of the media’s stupidity in not realizing how they were being played. Ha! and they referred to Bush and Trump as the village idiots!
As far as Vance not being elected – sadly I think you are right about that. The political pendulum swings back and forth in the US and the leftist news media will undo Vance in every way that they can. Just recently I saw a clip where a reporter was questioning how could Vance and his wife being of different faiths raise their children. What!? There are many household in the US that do that, and do it well; but they are trying to make it sound like he and his wife are doing something irrational.
And lastly, for the record I held my nose as I voted for Trump. Trump vs Hillary was the first election that I really considered not voting. But, I have voted since Carter first ran and didn’t want to mess up my own voting record. I’ll also add that Trump is the first president that I have not had any “voter’s remorse” about. While he cannot (and should not) run for another term; if he could I’d vote for him again.
Mollie Hemingway pointed out in her latest podcast it has been a presidential policy to do something about Greenland for years. Like moving the US embassy to Jerusalem (which I’ve been to), Trump decided to actually DO it.
