Not just Trump is attracted by Greenland and tariffs. Trump is setting up his own demise much like Hitler’s. Surrounded by Russians, Hitler could either be a prisoner in Russia or kill himself. Which will Trump choose? Because I am doubting that Trump will be able to retire to Florida. Russia seems more likely.
Hitler’s Greenland Obsession
After creating an economic mess with ill-advised tariffs, Hitler looked north in pursuit of resources and national security.
By Timothy W. Ryback | February 19, 2026

Greenland appears to have been a lifelong preoccupation of Adolf Hitler’s. According to stenographic notes from a lunchtime conversation dated May 21, 1942, Hitler recalled that hardly anyone “interested him more in his youth” than Fridtjof Nansen, the Norwegian explorer who in 1888 led the first team to cross Greenland’s interior. A surviving volume from Hitler’s private book collection contains firsthand accounts of the geologic and Arctic explorer Alfred Wegener’s Grönland Expedition, which left Wegener dead in 1930 and inspired the 1933 adventure film S.O.S. Eisberg, starring the actor and eventual filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl.
Hitler’s personal copy of History of the Expedition, the narrative of the tragic Wegener venture, can be perused in the rare-book collection at the Library of Congress among the 1,200 or so remnant volumes from Hitler’s private library. The 198-page monograph bears his personal bookplate—ex libris, eagle, swastika—like many of the others, but is notable because unlike most, it does not include a handwritten inscription by an author, a close associate, or a distant admirer. This suggests that the volume was a personal acquisition rather than a gift, a fact made all the more interesting by the 1933 publication date, the first year of the Hitler chancellorship, when the Nazi leader’s interest in Greenland transitioned from personal to strategic.
By April 1934, Hitler’s government had inventoried Greenland: 13,500 Eskimo, 3,500 Danes, and 8,000 sheep, as well as the world’s largest deposit of a strategic natural resource—cryolite, a mineral essential to American aluminum production. In 1938, Hermann Göring dispatched an expedition to Greenland, ostensibly to explore the island’s flora and fauna. However, Hitler’s true intent may have been not scientific, but economic—the expedition was headed by a mining engineer, Kurt Herdemerten, who had been a member of the ill-fated Wegener expedition. Hitler had inflicted countless economic wounds on his country over his five years as chancellor, and this foray into the Arctic was part of a broader effort to remedy one of them.
?In a drive to move Germany toward economic self-sufficiency, Hitler had imposed draconian tariffs, refused to honor foreign-debt obligations, and sought to wean the nation off Norwegian whale-oil consumption. The problem was that Germany used whale oil not only for margarine, a staple of the German diet, but also in the production of nitroglycerin, a key component for the munitions industry. Whale-oil imports ranged from 165,000 to 220,000 tons annually, representing the country’s single largest foreign-currency expenditure. To replace Norwegian whale oil, it was proposed that “German ships with German fishermen using German equipment” could harvest “the riches of the sea”—or Fischreichtum—“without giving a single penny to foreign countries.” So Hitler mobilized a German whaling fleet that gradually depleted whale populations in the North. By 1938, the Germans also had 31 whale-oil-processing ships in the frozen South, off the coast of Antarctica, along with two processing stations on land supplied by 257 “catcher boats.” Plans wer

The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on his 66th birthday is the latest development in the years-long controversy over his ties to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump's arrest would prove that the US is on the right track.

During the troop surge in Iraq, I learned to constantly scan for threats, how to distinguish the sharp crack of a gunshot pointed in my direction from one outgoing toward an enemy, and the myriad ways that explosives can be hidden on a roadside. I learned that hypervigilance can be the difference between life and death. What I didn’t learn was how to turn it off.
Now, I take three psychiatric medications every day, and I go to therapy every week. It’s taken a lot of work over the course of 15 years, but now I’m mostly functional. I raise my kids, go to work, and am part of my community. And I am among the nearly 5 million U.S. veterans who receive service-connected disability compensation, of whom roughly a quarter have a mental health condition such as post-traumatic stress disorder as their primary disability. That compensation is not charity, but compensation for harm incurred in service and a recognition that the government has a debt when the service it demands breaks bodies and minds.
But now, under a new interim rule issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the fact that medication helps me may also be used to reduce my disability compensation. The rule directs the VA to evaluate disabilities based on how veterans function with medication and treatment, rather than the underlying severity of their conditions. Essentially, if the pills work, good job staying alive; now move on without compensation for the inherent disability.
https://www.stripes.com/veterans/2026-02-17/new-va-rule-disability-rat
ings-20780685.html
This issue was actually very recently litigated. Last year, the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims decided Ingram v. Collins, a case that reaffirmed a rule first articulated in Jones v. Shinseki. The court was clear: When VA criteria for treatment do not explicitly mention medication-based improvements as a reason to discontinue disability benefits, the VA must discount the effects of medication and evaluate the disability as it would exist without treatment. That was not a radical interpretation but a straightforward application of the law. Treatment can mask symptoms, but it does not erase the harm. In response, the VA’s new rule asserts a blanket policy of considering the condition only as it presents under treatment, basically penalizing veterans like me for doing the work of staying alive.

The consequences of this shift are not abstract. Peer-reviewed research and VA data show that disability compensation is directly linked to real-life stability for veterans with mental health conditions. A long-term study following veterans who applied for PTSD disability benefits found that those who received benefits experienced meaningful reductions in PTSD symptoms over a decade, compared with veterans who were denied. Those who received compensation were far less likely to experience poverty, with rates around 15 percent, compared to 45 percent among those denied benefits, a

I've been posting this one for years... long before I quit drinking even...
And boy... Is it glorious to finally be able to watch it play out in everything, everywhere all at once.
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
After that confrontation,
You left me wringing my cold hands.
We shared some information
We might not recover from.
And I watch your convictions
Melt like ice cubes in an ocean...
You were so poorly cast as a malcontent.
[Chorus]
You've got 'em all on your side.
That just makes more for doubt to slaughter.
"I never knew he thought that",
Heard you say, falling out of the van.
"Don't ask for his opinion.
They ought to drown him in holy water."
Will you remember my reply,
When your high horse dies?
[Verse 2]
We'd like to go the distance,
But not a one of us is gonna.
You see nobody's wise enough
To turn this ancient boat around.
These are the muddy waters
I'm swimming in to make a living.
That I might drown in them
Should come as no surprise.
[Chorus]
You want 'em all on your side.
That just makes more for doubt to slaughter.
"I never knew he thought that",
Heard you say, falling out of the van.
"Don't ask for his opinion.
They ought to drown him in holy water".
Will you remember my reply,
When your high horse died?
[Chorus]
You've got 'em all on your side.
That just leaves more for doubt to slaughter.
"I never knew he thought that",
Heard you say, falling out of the van.
"Don't ask for his opinion.
They ought to drown him in holy water."
Will you remember my reply?

Apart from his 2020 election loss, there are few things that Donald Trump likes to lie about as much as his tariffs. He lies about who pays for them, the trillions of dollars they supposedly generate, the jobs they are creating, and their effect on the trade deficit.
On Wednesday, for example, the president touted a massive reduction in the trade deficit.
“THE UNITED STATES TRADE DEFICIT HAS BEEN REDUCED BY 78% BECAUSE OF THE TARIFFS BEING CHARGED TO OTHER COMPANIES AND COUNTRIES,” he wrote in a social media post.
Absolutely nothing in that sentence is true.
First of all, multiple independent experts, including those from the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, have concluded that American consumers and businesses are bearing the tariff burden… and we assume those US corporations are not what Trump means by “other businesses.”
Furthermore, foreign countries pay precisely nothing.
Then there is that 78-percent figure, which the president likely got from comparing the largest monthly trade deficit of 2025 to the lowest. But that’s not how this works.
And it didn’t take long for his own government to correct him.
Not even 24 hours after Trump posted his message, the Census Bureau announced that the US trade deficit for goods and services was $901.5 billion in 2025, which was down a mere $2.1 billion from 2024.
That’s not 78 percent, it’s only about 0.2 percent.
In addition, the import of goods, i.e., the products subject to Trump’s tariffs, actually increased to a record of $1.24 trillion. The reduction of the trade deficit is solely the result of foreign countries spending more on services that US companies provide.
What the Census Bureau data did show, however, is that the trade deficit with China and the EU shrank while the imbalance between imports and exports from the rest of the world increased.
Did that hurt China? Not at all.
Last month, Beijing announced that its trade surplus grew to a record of almost $1.2 trillion on the strength of goods China sold to its trading partners other than the US. This is just one indication that the world is finding workarounds to deal with Trump’s tariffs.
As for what the future holds, the president had a prediction for that as well.
“[The trade deficit] WILL GO INTO POSITIVE TERRITORY DURING THIS YEAR, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY DECADES,” he wrote.
That seems unlikely. At a clip of a $2.1-billion reduction, the US trade deficit won’t reach positive territory until 2454.

Google's answer:
Based on 2025 data, that statement is false. The U.S. trade deficit for goods and services in 2025 dropped by only about 0.2% ($2.1 billion), not 78%, according to Census Bureau data released on February 19, 2026. The claim likely used a selective, short-term, or volatile monthly figure rather than the total annual reduction.
Key Details:
• The 78% Figure: This likely refers to a volatile monthly, short-term reduction between a peak in March and a low in October 2025, rather than a sustained annual decrease.
• Actual 2025 Data: The total annual trade deficit only decreased by $2.1 billion (0.2%), a "meager decrease" compared to the high percentage claimed.
• Tariff Impact: While tariffs were intended to reduce the deficit, imports of goods actually increased to a record $1.24 trillion, indicating the trade gap did not shrink as claimed.
• Costs: Research indicates that U.S. businesses and consumers, rather than foreign countries, paid for the bulk of these tariffs.

Did you bother looking at the side-bar on the right to see where this information was sourced from, you stupid fuck?
The question was rhetorical and we both already know the answer to that question is no.
So shut your fucking big stupid mouth for once and allow me to enlighten you...

Gee... I think we've seen them before. Actually I believe we've seen this very article before, haven't we?
Here are the other two sources for that Google AI slop you chugged down greedily like it was Dick Cheney's cock when he said he supported Kamala Harris...

They simply posted an image with Trump's quote. They made no comment one way or another about it. It's very likely that Google AI grabbed this source because of one or a plurality of the 580 comments, and very likely citing your bullshit website "whowhatwhy.org" as their source.
And the third...

What country uses the TR domain? Turkey.
Turkey, who's pissed off about the flat 15% tariff levied against them, despite the fact that they levy tariffs on American goods at percentages ranging anywhere from 15.4% to 145.8% on agricultural goods, and up to 220% on vehicles, as is evidenced here:
