I need you to talk about Greenland.
You have a lot on your plate right now, I get it. There's Trump removing your rights with a stroke of his pen, there's DOGE destroying your state institutions, there's tariffs and prices and the rise of fascism.
But I still need you to talk about Greenland.
(And about Canada and Panama, too, but since you are starting with Greenland, so will I.)
I need you to talk about the US - I need to talk about how you are working to annex it right now.
Like Russia trying to conquer Ukraine. Like China looking to annex Taiwan.
And it seems like you're mostly treating it as a joke. It's funny, ha ha, whether you are pro- or against Trump. Conquering another country, that's so absurd, it's funny. Or, hell, it's a distraction from whichever -gate he's got rolling this week.
It's not particularly funny from this side of the equation.
Speaking as a Dane: this is not a joke. This is not funny. Nobody's laughing.
The people I talk to? We're scared and we're angry. We're furious.
A country - your country - you!
We thought you were our friend. We've been faithful allies to you since World War 2, we're in NATO together, we've sent our young men and women to fight and to die in your wars.
And this is what that bought us?
Let's get one thing clear: you don't need Greenland for security reasons, that's a lie. You already have the right to have military there, you can build extra bases, and Greenland through Denmark is a part of NATO.
You don't need Greenland for security reasons.
And the mineral wealth? The mineral wealth that Greenland isn't currently getting rich from, btw, because there's simply very little mining happening? You could have that easily. The Greenland government offers prospecting rights to any company that wants it. Greenland wants foreign countries to invest in mining in Greenland. So far, US companies have been mostly not interested. Australia's far more interested in mining in Greenland than you are.
You don't need Greenland.
You're standing on the global scene and decrying how your friends and allies have "friend-and-ally-zoned" you, like some twisted incel logic writ large on the geopolical scale, like the nice superpower upset that the rest of the world won't just roll over and give them fealty and vassalage.
You are doing that. No matter who you voted for. You are doing that.
And honestly? It's not like we didn't have enough concerns. We've got the climate, we've got Russia - cyberattacks, hybrid warfare against undersea infrastructure, wondering whether they'll target the Baltic states or Finland next.
And now I need to be afraid of the USA invading as well.
This is not a joke. This is not fucking funny.
I need you to talk about Greenland.
