Trump’s proving that taking Greenland wasn’t just easily dismissed fantasy. The fantasy is that Greenland will yield the rare earths and other natural resources he envisions during his term of office, or even his lifetime if he makes himself dictator for life. Michael Kern with a cold splash of reality at oilprice.com:
- The U.S. demand for control of Greenland is framed as an obligation of the NATO alliance, leading European diplomats to scramble for a deal that reaffirms Danish sovereignty while satisfying American political demands.
- The supposed “win” of accessing Greenland’s vast potential rare-earth mineral wealth is undermined by the atrocious unit economics and massive infrastructure gap, which would require a significant subsidy from Europe to make mining commercially viable.
- By threatening to coerce a NATO ally into ceding territory, the US risks defaulting on the “Rules-Based International Order” and losing the moral leverage to condemn Russian or Chinese expansionism.
The United States will officially begin negotiations to dismantle the Western world’s operating system in just about 30 minutes or so…and oil prices are up just over 1% in anticipation.
The meeting, which will take place at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, will include Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland.
The official agenda serves up standard diplomatic fare: “Arctic security,” “strategic partnership,” and “resource development.”

Fire up the printing presses and reading about the billions in gear being sent without question or oversight to Israel.
Stupidity will wipe us out before economics or WAR.
I might like the 51st state as I didn’t get cold on the last 18 degree heel & toe of the day with balaclava, work gloves as liners in mittens, long sleeve wool undershirt, long socks and sweats under jeans, hoodie, Rambo jacket. I get peppy with the walking which also helps.
The greatest ally will have to update the fifty states one Israel.
