Europe takes a bold stand against Trump as top leaders issue a historic joint statement condemning his fascist plans to conquer Greenland from a NATO ally: "Greenland belongs to Greenland."

The world has been thrown upside down overnight...

"Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and it is critical for international and transatlantic security," begins the statement put out by French President Emanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Danish Prime Minister Mette.

"NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up," it continues. "We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries. The Kingdom of Denmark - including Greenland - is part of NATO."

"Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders," they write. "These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them."

"The United States is an essential partner in this endeavour, as a NATO ally and through the defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States of 1951."

"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland," the statement concludes.

The fact that such a statement is necessary underlines just how drastically Donald Trump has destabilized the world order. Our closest allies are now concerned that the United States may invade Greenland to seize the land out of some supposed "strategic necessity." In reality, Greenland is already secure.

As a part of NATO, it falls under the American security umbrella. The U.S. seizing the land and slapping our national name on it doesn't change anything about the material security situation, it just allows Trump to playact as a Napoleon or Caesar. It's a child's understanding of geopolitics that reduces the world to a game of Risk. Only a political movement as deeply ignorant and mind-numbingly stupid as MAGA could get excited about such an idea.

Trump's recent illegal invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro has made it clear that he's done even pretending to care about international law. In the wake of that attack he and his minions have escalated their rhetoric about Greenland. Trump said that he is "very serious" about the annexation idea and his chief fascist advisor Stephen Miller has stated that "the formal position of the U.S. government" is "that Greenland should be part of the United States."

Miller's wife Katie, a deeply deranged and unstable woman who possesses all of her troglodytic husband's worst traits, posted an image of Greenland on X with the American flag superimposed over it. This idea has taken deep root amongst MAGA faithful and we need to to be taking it deadly seriously.

Trump's dreams of empire are indicative of the deep rot at the heart of our country. These insane acts of aggression offer no benefit to the American people who continue to struggle with rising costs of living, unaffordable housing, and a broken healthcare system. Everything that Trump does is designed to benefit the corrupt oligarchs who put him in power.
