“The community of nations must reckon with unprincipled criminals who, in order to realize their ambitious plans, are not afraid to unleash total war.” (Pope Pius XII, 1953)

Cruz (my senator 😩) is a fool and he’s obfuscating. Greenland is not for sale at any price, as Denmark has made clear. So what exactly are you supporting, Senator?
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"

WELKER: Is Greenland or NATO more vital to natl security?
BESSENT: That's obviously a false choice
W: Not to European leaders
B: They will come around & understand they need to be under the US security umbrella. What would happen in Ukraine if the US pulled support? The whole thing would collapse

About a third of all self-described Republicans believe that the US should dispense with democratic process and the holding of elections, if this is what Trump wishes.

If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command.

Please mail the Declaration of Independence to Stephen Miller
Sovereignty doesn’t come from the ability to conquer or defend territory — it comes from the consent of the governed.
The Declaration of Independence was written to refute exactly this argument.
