2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Pu’s naked imperial expansion has let this genie out of the bottle. « Normal US » under Biden and Europe failed to stop Ru in Ukraine to show conquest is unacceptable; the current « peace talks » imply Ru will keep some of its « new territories » . It feeds Trump’s Pu-envy and normalizes conquest.
Cruz: "When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend President Trump for being single-mindedly focused on America first... I believe it is overwhelmingly in America's national interest to acquire Greenland... the whole history of America has been a history of acquiring new lands and new territories"

Every time someone says "well, it's not an absurd idea," they're normalizing an absurd idea. We have everything we want from Greenland, and Trump isn't thinking about strategy, he's thinking about vanity and conquest.
From Phila. Inquirer this morning….“Fetterman and McCormick both rejected the idea, proposed by President Donald Trump, that the U.S. may use military force to acquire Greenland. It's also undeniable, that this is not a brand-new conversation, so it's not an absurd idea."
