Coalition of the Willing to mute Greenland to avoid US backlash

US statements on Greenland

The wife of US President Donald Trump's domestic security adviser, Stephen Miller, Kathy, recently posted a map showing Greenland colored like the American flag.

After that, Trump said the US needs the island for defense, claiming it is allegedly surrounded by Russian and Chinese fleets.

Sources cited by Politico believe the US could establish control over Greenland in the coming months.

Denmark has already responded to Trump's remarks. In particular, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that if the US attempted to seize Greenland—especially by military means - it would effectively spell the end of NATO.

On January 6, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the issue of Greenland will be discussed at the Coalition of the Willing summit. He stressed that no NATO member should attack or threaten another member of the Alliance.

Is Greenland next?

By Nicholas Vinocur | January 5, 2026 7:00 am CET

https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/brussels-playbook/is-greenland-next/

One question flashes bright red for Europe today: Is Greenland next?

It’s hardly a theoretical question. Speaking to the Atlantic over the weekend, Trump reiterated his desire for the U.S. to take control of the island territory, which is self-governing but under control of the Kingdom of Denmark. “We do need Greenland, absolutely,” Trump said, describing the island as “surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships.”

Trump has embraced the 19th century Monroe Doctrine, under which Washington claimed ascendancy over the Western hemisphere, while leaving the rest of the world to Europe, though naturally with his own personal twist on it: “They now call it ‘the Donroe Document,’” he said Saturday.

There’s more: Katie Miller — wife of White House adviser and firebrand Stephen Miller — posted a map of Greenland on social media, overlaid with the Stars and Stripes under the word “SOON.” This prompted Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to hit back on Sunday evening.

“I have to say this very directly to the United States. It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland,” Frederiksen said. “The United States has no right to annex any of the three countries in the [Danish] Realm.” (For the record, the Faroe Islands are the Realm’s third country.)

Please, stop: “I would therefore strongly urge the United States to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people who have said very clearly that they are not for sale,” Frederiksen added in a statement.

Greenland’s leader, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, described Miller’s provocation as “disrespectful” but urged his people not to panic. “Our country is not for sale, and our future will not be shaped by debates on social media,” he posted on Facebook Sunday.

Nordic backup: Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Finnish President Alexander Stubb followed up with posts insisting on Greenland’s sovereignty.

Unmoved: Speaking to reporters on Air Force One hours later, Trump repeated his belief that controlling Greenland is vital to U.S. national security, my colleague Sophia Cai reports. “And the European Union needs us to have it, and they know that,” Trump said.

Doubling down: Trump’s continued focus on Greenland is especially unnerving given that both he and Vance have lately been happy to broadcast that they are quite serious about asserting control over the territory.

Before Trump announced that the U.S. would now be extracting “enormous wealth” from Venezuela, his administration named Jeff Landry, governor of Louisiana, as special U.S. envoy for Greenland. Vance followed up by repeating his accusations that Denmark hasn’t done enough to provide for Greenland’s security.

Stars (and stripes) align: Per experts and officials who Playbook spoke to over the weekend, the U.S. could seek to exploit a window of opportunity to assert control over Greenland in coming months, ahead of the U.S. midterm elections in November and in time for the 250th anniversary of American independence on July 4.

Methods would likely differ from those employed in Venezuela. Instead of a military operation, Washington could resort to using a “political influence campaign to shift the current equilibrium,” according to Mujtaba Rahman, Europe managing director at the Eurasia Group, a think tank.

No joking matter: This could include “efforts to buy local politicians as the U.S. seeks greater military and civilian control. The Americans have various tools to achieve this,” Rahman said, adding that the risk is “real and serious.”

In comments to Playbook, David McAllister, a senior German conservative EU lawmaker and head of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, reiterated the bloc’s support for Denmark and Greenland. “Greenland i

Pentagon Official on Venezuela War: “Following the Old, Failed Scripts”

By Nick Turse | January 5 2026, 3:30 p.m.

https://theintercept.com/2026/01/05/trump-venezuela-war/

Early Saturday morning, after cloud cover lifted, elite Army Delta Force commandos moved in. With support from CIA covert operators and other military, intelligence, and law enforcement personnel, they carried out the Trump administration’s audacious regime-change project in Venezuela, upending global order and shattering what remains of geopolitical norms.

As the day wore on, the full scope of the operation became clear: The U.S. had attacked a sovereign nation with which it was not at war and did so without congressional authorization; kidnapped its leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and rendered them to the United States; announced plans to “run” that country as a de facto colony; and threatened further attacks and military occupation unless the acting president does America’s bidding.

“We’re in charge,” Trump said of Venezuela on Sunday night, speaking to reporters on Air Force One. “We’re going to run everything.”

Reflecting on the operation, dubbed Absolute Resolve, a senior defense official called America a “rogue state” and pronounced dead the liberal rules-based geopolitical order which U.S. administrations, of both parties, have championed since World War II.

“His powers are rooted in the fearmongering post-9/11 decisions creating emergency powers that were never reined back in.”

“It’s crazy how we are following the old, failed scripts: Topple government. Make no plans for the aftermath,” the senior defense official said. “We must face the reality Trump has no limits. His powers are rooted in the fearmongering post-9/11 decisions creating emergency powers that were never reined back in.”

The administration has justified Absolute Resolve by citing the president’s authority under Article II of the Constitution to protect U.S. personnel from an actual or imminent attack.

Sarah Harrison, who previously advised Pentagon policymakers on issues related to human rights and the law of war, said that the attack was a clear violation of international law and the administration’s justifications are baseless.

“Countries cannot go around the world using force against other states merely due to criminal activity. On this point the administration has put forward one of the most groundless legal arguments,” Harrison told The Intercept. “What happened on January 3 was clearly an offensive, not a defensive, mission, and an act of aggression in violation of the U.N. charter and customary international law.”

“There’s a pervasive corrosive fear in the Pentagon among those of us opposed to Trump and his policies,” the senior defense official told The Intercept. “We have supported the country and the institutions for decades and now watch as they are being dismantled.”

Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson did not reply to repeated requests for comment concerning the statements by the senior defense official.

Forever Wars

Over the weekend, Trump repeatedly threatened continued war in Venezuela, as the U.S. maintains a massive military presence in the Caribbean, including the largest naval flotilla in the region since the Cold War. “We’re prepared,” Trump said of possible follow-up strikes on Venezuela. “You know, we have a second wave that’s much bigger than the first wave.”

He also threatened that the “American armada remains poised in position, and the United States retains all military options until United States demands have been fully met and fully satisfied.”

Trump also left the door open to a full-scale military occupation. “We’re not afraid of boots on the ground,” he said.

Trump said that the U.S. intends to employ Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro’s vice president, as a puppet under threat of further U.S. attacks.

“If Maduro’s vice president — if the vice president does what we want, we won’t have to do that,” he said of a military occupation. Trump told The Atlantic on Sunday th

President Donald Trump and his team are considering “a range of options” in order to acquire Greenland — including “utilizing the U.S. Military,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNBC on Tuesday.

Nihilism is the most likely choice for your kind of Evil:

A person who sees no meaning or purpose in life is called a nihilist, someone who believes life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value, often associated with extreme skepticism and pessimism. Related terms describe the feeling of lacking purpose, such as aimless, adrift, or rudderless, while the philosophical stance is existential nihilism, which posits life has no inherent meaning.

Key Terms

• Nihilist: A person who subscribes to nihilism, the philosophical view that life is meaningless and values are baseless.

• Existential Nihilist: Specifically focuses on the belief that life, and existence itself, lacks intrinsic meaning or purpose.

Related Concepts & Feelings

• Aimless/Adrift/Rudderless: Words describing the state of lacking direction or purpose, but not necessarily the philosophical stance.

• Anomie: A state of normlessness or a feeling of being disconnected from society's rules and values, often linked to a lack of purpose.

Nuances

• While nihilism rejects inherent meaning, some interpret this as a freedom to create one's own meaning (optimistic nihilism), rather than succumbing to despair.

There are other choices, such as demonic possession of 6ixStringJoker, but the devil could find someone with more energy to do the work of destroying creation, such as Trump. Something has taken control of Trump.

Trump is evil personified, killing 80 people to arrest Maduro. Trump blames Maduro for overdose deaths of "countless Americans," but experts say analysis doesn't back it up

By Laura Doan | January 6, 2026 4:30 PM EST

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-maduro-overdose-deaths-of-americans/

One of President Trump's rationales for ordering the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was his claim that Maduro was responsible for trafficking "colossal amounts of deadly and illicit drugs" into the United States, fueling the overdose deaths of "countless Americans."

But experts who study drug trafficking told CBS News these claims are exaggerated.

Analysts from the U.S. government and independent think tanks say that Venezuela plays a relatively limited role in bringing cocaine to the U.S. and has virtually no link to the trafficking of fentanyl — the synthetic opioid that causes most overdose deaths.

Venezuela is not listed as a source or a transit country for fentanyl in any edition of the Drug Enforcement Administration's annual "National Drug Threat Assessment," according to a review by Jeffrey Singer, a practicing surgeon and senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute. Instead, the DEA has repeatedly found that fentanyl entering the U.S. is largely produced in Mexico — where it is often trafficked over land, primarily by U.S. citizens.

"I don't think what happened in Venezuela is going to in any way impact the overdose rates here, since the biggest driver of overdoses is fentanyl," Singer said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, illegally manufactured fentanyl was involved in 65% of overdose deaths in 2024, compared to roughly 34% of overdose deaths that involved cocaine – figures that include overdoses involving multiple drugs. About 20% of overdose deaths in 2024 were caused by fentanyl alone, while 8.3% were caused by cocaine.

The State Department has designated Venezuela as a major transit country for cocaine, which is primarily produced in Colombia. But much of the cocaine that moves through Venezuela is destined for Europe, rather than the United States, said Vanda Felbab-Brown, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies drug policy.

"A lot of cocaine that goes to the United States bypasses Venezuela," Felbab-Brown said. "It goes through the Pacific, smuggled by sea from Colombia around Mexico to the U.S."

Felbab-Brown also questioned Mr. Trump's portrayal of Maduro as an organizer and manager of the drug trade and cast doubt on the strength of the federal criminal case against him.

"It remains to be seen whether the prosecution in New York will be able to substantiate those charges," Felbab-Brown said. "Certainly the more common perception is that Maduro was aware of members of the government taking a cut from drugs, but it's not widely believed that Maduro was a principal orchestrator."

I think Trump has lost the thread, and people who follow him slavishly have lost it too.

I'm not against Trump doing radical things, like getting out of NATO bc NATO's been a boat anchor for generations.

I'm not against him breaking WTO rules and imposing tariffs bc our industries need protection in order to redevelop.

I'm not against him kicking out illegal aliens.

What I'm against is Trump doing stupid things with no purpose whatsoever, like that infernal meddling across the globe.

What he's doing isn't MAGA.
