They are already praising a potential "compromise." But there is no compromise between a sovereign state and an annexing force—only submission.
The establishment media is softening up the target, turning capitulation into a "wise diplomatic step." 5/6

FT identifies the "furore" (the refusal to sell land) as the threat to NATO, not the demand itself.
The imperial logic is clear: vassals must sacrifice their sovereignty for the suzerain’s comfort. If they refuse, THEY are the ones "destroying collective security." 4/6

The most cynical part? Weaponizing Ukraine. The narrative is being set: "Do you want to save Ukraine? Then don't annoy the US over Greenland."
They are creating a false moral dilemma to force Europe into submission through guilt. Ukraine is just a bargaining chip here. 3/6

The first trick is semantic. Trump demands sovereign territory (Greenland) under threat of NATO collapse. Legally, this is coercion. But the FT frames it as a "dispute" or "rift."
They gaslight the victim: it’s not an invasion of sovereignty, it’s just a "family quarrel." 2/6

It is precisely him they have long tried to write into this scenario. And we have yet to evaluate this role.

We are not being saved. We are being methodically driven into a dead end. The darkness is not a malfunction. It is the space reserved for the signature of Kyryusha Budanov under the future ultimatum—ink for which has been provided by our "strategic partner." 6/7

• Hostage (Zelenskyy): The most tragic yet comic figure. He is forced to pretend he doesn't see the collusion.
He cannot say: "We are being killed with Washington's consent" — that would be the end. So he plays along, calling shelling merely "aggression," not coercion. 5/7

Act 2. Casting the Roles

Because in Trump’s new geopolitical model, a blackout is no longer a crime. It is an argument.
The US has given a tacit carte blanche to use cold as a negotiating tool. The logic: the more unbearable life becomes, the faster Ukraine will sign a "peace" on the terms of the Putin-Trump tandem. 3/7

Act 1. Legitimizing Torture by Cold
We are witnessing a joint operation of "forcing into reality."
Massive strikes on energy infrastructure (like in Vinnytsia) happen to the accompaniment of... dead silence from Washington.
No emergency meetings. No ultimatums.

Calling Trump’s strategy "checkers" is pure cope. He bought the casino while you were analyzing pawn moves.
Also, asking Danes to die for an order you failed to defend at home is breathtaking hypocrisy. You want allies to be heroes because US elites chose to be cowards.

Stop looking for logic in raw brutality using the morality of a victim. You are herbivores trying to psychoanalyze a predator.

Trump isn't obsessed with Greenland for resources. He is executing the "Great Exchange."
He is swapping 80 years of intangible US assets (alliances, law, reputation) for one physical asset and personal power.
He is burning the family estate to buy a golden throne. That’s looting.

The "Checkers" myth is fatal. While you critique Trump's tactical errors on the board, he is reformatting the space.
Liberals think: "How do I win by the rules?" Trump thinks: "How do I buy the casino and change the value of the chips?"
He doesn't want to play; he wants to own.

Cohen suggests Denmark should deploy troops to "fight to the last round" against the US.
The hypocrisy is breathtaking. US elites demand Europeans die for the "world order," yet they refused to fight when domestic institutions were dismantled in Washington. You outsourced your heroism.

The $1B price tag is a red herring. The "Board of Peace" isn't a grift; it’s an Ersatz-UN designed to bypass intl law, legitimize the annexation of Greenland, and justify a 3rd term. You see a scam; I see a parallel legal order.

By forcing TSMC to move 40% of its supply chain to Arizona, Washington is dismantling the "Silicon Shield."
They are monetizing their status as a defender to extract assets. Once the chips are safe in the U.S., Taiwan’s strategic value—and its security guarantees—will evaporate.
