By Matt Underwood Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland.
It’s clear, isn’t it? The assertion that the United States has the right to take Greenland is more than just a passing remark; it’s a chilling echo of historical ideologies and a stark warning about the current direction of certain political figures. The very idea, seemingly championed by individuals like Stephen Miller, evokes a world governed by brute force and the unyielding pursuit of power, echoing sentiments reminiscent of dark chapters in history. It brings up the same scenarios as if someone occupied Puerto Rico. Occupying Puerto Rico or Greenland is an act of war. It’s the same. Easies. The potential implications are vast and concerning, not only for Greenland and Denmark, but for the international order as a whole.
The notion that might makes right is a dangerous one, particularly when applied to international relations. It disregards the principles of sovereignty, self-determination, and the established rules of engagement that have, however imperfectly, governed global interactions for decades. To suggest that the U.S. can simply seize a territory because of its perceived strength is an affront to these principles. Further evidence (as if it was necessary) that Trump and his cronies only adhere to the idea of ‘might makes right’. Greenland has been a territory of Denmark before the concept of the USA was even a thing. This mindset opens the door to a cascade of conflicts, undermining trust and destabilizing the delicate balance that prevents outright global chaos.
The parallels being drawn between this situation and the actions of historical figures, like the comparisons made to Adolf Hitler, are not made lightly. They point to a dangerous mindset that prioritizes expansion and domination over diplomacy and peaceful coexistence. It also does not help that the U.S. is facing accusations of acting out against a country that has been a long time friend and ally. The very fact that such comparisons are being made underscores the gravity of the situation. It forces us to confront the uncomfortable reality that some are willing to sacrifice international norms for their own perceived gains.
The rhetoric being employed, with its emphasis on strength and force, is also deeply troubling. It suggests a willingness to abandon the core values of cooperation and mutual respect that underpin a stable international system. The idea of invading Greenland also opens the door to numerous political and economic problems that could have lasting impacts, including a potential decline in global trust. The U.S. is going down a dangerous path where trust is no longer important. The potential for such actions to escalate into larger conflicts is a real and present danger.
Ultimately, the assertion that the U.S. has a right to take Greenland is a dangerous and misguided one. It is a reflection of a worldview that prioritizes power over principle, and aggression over diplomacy. It is a call to action to resist this dangerous trend, and to stand up for the values of international cooperation, respect for sovereignty, and peaceful coexistence. Now nobody is going to trust the USA ever again. And MAGA are cheering. This is just a launching point for broader US military involvement in countries or territories that don’t submit to Trump’s deranged and narcissistic whims. A move that empowers Trump to attack and/or ensnare any foreign state he deems a threat or a strategic boon to the US. And with some of Maduro’s staunch loyalists refusing to accept the circumstances, Trump’s stated next step is to order more military incursions. This is pure evil.
