Donald Trump’s desire to annex Greenland will not be thwarted and there could be meaningful U.S. action related to the Arctic island within “weeks or months,” according to a senior administration official.
That’s the view of Thomas Dans, Trump’s Arctic commissioner. He’s regarded as one of the main proponents of the president’s interest in Greenland, an idea first brought to Trump by billionaire and former diplomat Ronald Lauder.
Dans has been working on the issue since 2020.
Where did you see that?
I think it was before Hegseth cleared house in fall; first few mobths they were floating it
So everyone who said NO is no longer there?
No, they are now on OUR side. MAGA hasn’t figured out that whenever they fire a knowledgeable experienced operative, and replace them with a loyalist podcaster, they strengthen our side, and cripple theirs.
Do you honestly think that all those high ranking officers, who spent years navigating the landmines of military promotions until they got to very top, are going to allow these frat-boy putzes to just unceremoniously and humiliatingly kick them out, and they’ll just fade into the sunset?
A few, maybe, but most are cut from that cloth. We haven’t heard much from ex-presidents, ex-military officers, ex-intelligence officers, etc. I think its highly unlikely that they are all just sitting at home, screaming at the TV like the rest of us. We also aren’t hearing much from foreign leaders, who clearly hate what is happening.
It is likely that at least some of them are in touch with each other, and with foreign leaders, and are forming a strategy to oppose MAGA if they are stupid enough to try to end elections and steal the government. They will have Red Lines that will trigger a response.
Find it hard to believe that any current or former officer in the military is collaborating with another country. Even if it’s an “ally”.
Some general is not going to ask France or UK or Germany to “step in” if MAGA tries to steal elections and none of those countries want to.
There’s not going to be some secret sect of the military that’s going to save us when things keep getting worse. As far as we know the military had near 100% compliance committing war crimes by bombing those civilians in the Caribbean and kidnapping a foreign head of state.
I’ll be surprised if we’re not at war with NATO by end of this year over Greenland. It gives Trump every cover to do whatever the hell he wants.
