The defining political question of our time is whether the United States of America is a nation that exists for the benefit of her people, or an economic zone and welfare machine that exists for the benefit of everyone else.
Just because there are a few terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Hizbul Mujahideen, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami, Indian Mujahideen, Students Islamic Movement of India, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, Afghan Taliban, Haqqani Network, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, Al-Badr, Al-Umar Mujahideen, Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen, Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen, Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, Islamic State Jammu and Kashmir, Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh, Ansarullah Bangla Team, Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami Bangladesh, Neo-Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh, Islamic State, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province, Islamic State Khorasan Province, Islamic State Sinai Province, Islamic State Central Africa Province, Islamic State East Asia, Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, Ansar Dine, Katibat Macina, Al-Mourabitoun, Ansar al-Sharia, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, Abu Sayyaf, Jemaah Islamiyah, Jemaah Ansharut Daulah, Mujahidin Indonesia Timur, Kumpulan Mujahidin Malaysia, Ansar al-Islam, Ansar al-Sunna, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Khorasan Group, Jund al-Aqsa, Abdullah Azzam Brigades, Fatah al-Islam, Islamic Army of Aden-Abyan, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Islamic Jihad Union, East Turkestan Islamic Movement, Turkistan Islamic Party, Caucasus Emirate, Riyad-us-Saliheen Brigade of Martyrs, Islamic International Peacekeeping Brigade, Ajnad al-Kavkaz, Armed Islamic Group, Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group, Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Takfir wal-Hijra, Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, Maute Group, Khalifa Islamiyah Mindanao, Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa, Ansaru, Jundallah, and Jaish ul-Adl, it doesn't mean Muslims need any reform or introspection.🙄
🚨BREAKING: The Trump Administration has invoked the long-unenforced Immigration Act of 1882 to prohibit entry into the United States of “any convict, lunatic, idiot, or any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge.”
Ultimately, this will allow the Trump Administration to deny green cards to immigrants who are likely to use federal welfare, food stamps, or Medicaid, and to revoke the green cards of immigrants who are currently using these programs.
The new rule is set to take effect Friday, September 18.
As a result, 5.6 million immigrants are expected to lose access to those benefits, and American taxpayers are expected to save $13 billion per year.

ICYMI: Trump’s Top 25 Achievements: The List Every Conservative Should Know and Use
Donald Trump doesn’t have an accomplishment problem. Republicans have an information problem. It’s on each of us to change that.
With the midterms coming, an astonishing number of Republican voters cannot name three things President Trump has accomplished. Which is remarkable when you consider that Donald Trump has accomplished more in a year and a half than any other president ever did in four.
Indeed, he has accomplished so much, so fast, across so many fronts that most people cannot keep up. The Enemedia buries the victories, while Republicans do an abysmal job of explaining them.
So here is the cheat sheet. It barely scratches the surface. And yet each and every item here is a game-changer, and your befuddled black-pilling friends need to know it.
This is not a list of promises. It’s a list of laws enacted, cases won, policies implemented, agreements secured, and measurable results.
You don’t have to memorize all 25. Learn five. And when somebody says Trump “hasn’t done much,” show them the receipts.
Trump Restored American Safety and Sovereignty
1. He made the border a real border again.
In a matter of months, Trump reduced illegal border crossings to their lowest level in half a century. Catch-and-release is finished. The wall is going up and even being expanded, “Remain in Mexico” is back, and the Administration reduced releases into the country by an incredible 99.9 percent.
2. He reversed mass migration.
America recorded negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least half a century. So far, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the country, whether voluntarily or involuntarily: more than 675,000 forcibly deported and the rest “self-deported.”
Many of those self-deportations were facilitated by the President’s innovative program to offer plane tickets and cash bonuses for illegals to leave, not only incentivizing good behavior but significantly reducing the cost of deportations. Citizenship and the law actually mean something again.
3. He signed the Laken Riley Act — and required detention of criminal illegal aliens.
Named for an innocent girl murdered by an illegal alien, the Laken Riley Act requires federal authorities to detain illegals arrested for theft, burglary, shoplifting, assaulting police, or any crime causing death or serious injury. It also lets states sue officials who refuse to enforce it.
Laken Riley should still be alive. This law will prevent tragedies like hers.
4. History’s biggest drop in violent crime, and the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years.
According to FBI data, violent crime in America dropped an incredible 9.7 percent in 2025 — the largest one-year decline in history. Murder fell 18.1 percent, robbery fell 18.5 percent. And America’s violent crime rate is its lowest since 1900.
This is what happens when you put the National Guard on the streets in crime-ridden blue cities: fewer victims, safer streets, and better futures for America’s poorest.
Trump Launched an American Industrial Supercycle
5. He made the 2017 tax cuts permanent…and better.
The One Big Beautiful Bill locked in the largest tax cut in modern history, including the doubled standard deduction, the expanded Child Tax Credit, and 100 percent expensing for factories and equipment. It also delivered No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, an abolition of most taxes on Social Security benefits, and major relief for seniors.
Every Democrat voted no. With the 2017 act set to expire in December 2025, that would have resulted in the largest tax hike in American history.
6. He repealed 129 regulations for every new one.
In fiscal 2025, federal agencies finalized 646 deregulatory actions and just five regulatory actions: 129-to-1, and in nearly every case, the “one” was to repeal the others! OIRA says the savings exceeded those of Trump’s entire first term. That is more freedom, lower costs, and less bureaucratic sabotage.
Of these, the crown jewel was the repeal of Obama’s 2009 “Endangerment Finding”, the legal foundation for the Green New Scam’s vehicle mandates. EPA calls it the largest deregulatory action in American history and estimates that by itself, it will save Americans more than $1.3 trillion. Trump also killed the federal EV mandate, restored Americans’ freedom to buy the cars and trucks they actually want, and even eliminated the incentives behind the almost universally hated start-stop button.
7. He secured $18 trillion in announced investment commitments.
That’s nearly two-thirds the size of the entire American economy, building American factories, chip plants, data centers, energy projects, steel mills, shipyards, and supply chains employing American workers. Apple, Meta, NVIDIA, Micron, Hyundai, U.S. Steel, Ford, Taiwan Semiconductor, and many corporations and sovereign wealth funds are betting big on Trump’s America.
No President has ever done anything remotely like it. And it’s just getting started.
8. He made “reshoring” and “reindustrialization” real, not a slogan.
Ford is moving Lincoln production out of China. Toyota is shifting Tacoma production from Mexico to Texas. GM, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and others are expanding U.S. production. The capital equipment pouring into the country is the machinery that’s building the growing boom.
9. He replaced lopsided trade deals with balanced, reciprocal trade.
Trump used tariffs as leverage to reverse 80 years of lopsided trade deals that favored everyone but America, and to win new or improved agreements with trading partners accounting for more than half of global GDP. Those agreements open foreign markets, attack non-tariff barriers, defend strategic industries, and make it more profitable to build in America than to export American jobs.
10. He shifted global energy dominance from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of America.
Once the world’s largest energy importer — “exporting” $700 billion a year to our enemies — America now outproduces Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. The U.S. is also setting new records in oil, natural gas, and LNG exports, becoming the first country ever to export more than 100 million metric tons of LNG in a year.
Trump also opened land, accelerated permits, expanded pipelines and export terminals, and made American energy a tool for prosperity and peace.
11. After four decades of nuclear paralysis, Trump brought five new reactors online in a single year.
For more than 40 years, not one new privately developed non-light-water reactor reached criticality in America. Trump ordered at least three by July 4, 2026. DOE delivered four by the deadline, then a fifth just one month later.
Decades of zero. One Trump summer: five. That is a genuine nuclear renaissance.
Trump Made Elections Matter Again
12. He broke the Deep State’s power to defy the elected branches.
In Trump v. Slaughter, the Supreme Court ruled for the first time in 90 years that Article 2, Section 1 is still part of the Constitution: the President may fire subordinate officials in the executive branch, overturning the 1935 precedent that insulated “independent” agencies from voters’ control.
Ever wonder why elections often seem to change nothing? How about one President and 5,000 political appointees vs. 2.8 million unfireable, unaccountable bureaucrats? THAT is the “Deep State”.
Trump then made that victory real. For the first time in a century, all policy-making bureaucrats can now be fired for misconduct, incompetence, or defying lawful directives. The permanent bureaucracy no longer gets to veto the voters.
13. He ended nationwide injunction abuse.
In Trump v. CASA, the Supreme Court sharply limited nationwide injunctions. A single, local, district judge should not be able to block a national policy for everyone, everywhere; and yet that’s exactly what they’ve done, nonstop, ever since Trump (and only Trump) took office in 2017.
In restricting that unconstitutional power, the Court kneecapped the Black Robe Bureaucracy’s favorite tool of unlawful judicial supremacy.
14. He shut down USAID as a left-wing slush fund and shadow government.
USAID had become a taxpayer-funded machine for exporting abortion, gender ideology, censorship, and left-wing politics. It had a bigger budget than the CIA and the State Department combined, absolutely no accountability whatsoever, and a penchant for overthrowing governments.
Trump terminated it — completely — and moved real humanitarian aid under the State Department. Immediately, seven socialist Latin American governments lost re-election. Coincidence?
15. He shrank Federal employment to its lowest level in 60 years.
From a high under Biden, the federal workforce is now its smallest since 1966. Workforce reductions, agency closures, and spending cancellations mean fewer bureaucrats paid to resist the voters.
What’s more, when Biden left office, 94 percent of federal employees “worked” from home. The Trump administration cracked down: as Elon Musk put it, “you can work from the office or you can pretend to work somewhere else.”
16. He expelled DEI from the federal government.
Trump eliminated federal DEI offices and barred race- and sex-based preferences across the executive branch. Government hiring and contracting are returning to merit and equality under the law, ending the grotesque Democrat idea that “fighting discrimination” requires the federal government to discriminate.
He Defended Faith and Family
17. He delivered sweeping pro-life reform.
In his first term, Trump delivered the judges that overturned the abominable Roe v. Wade. Hardly anyone believed it could be done, or that Trump would do it. But he did, and a half-century nightmare finally ended.
Since returning to office, Trump has enforced the Hyde Amendment prohibiting the use of federal funds to pay for abortions, reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy prohibiting federal funding of foreign abortions, ended federal fetal-tissue research, strengthened conscience protections, protected Medicaid from funding large abortion providers, and pardoned 23 pro-life activists prosecuted by Biden’s weaponized Justice Department.
He’s also done everything within the Executive Branch’s power to defund Planned Parenthood. It would be nice if Congress did likewise.
No President has ever done more to protect life. No one.
18. He got men out of women’s sports, and restored biological reality to federal policy.
The United States government once again officially recognizes two sexes: male and female. Trump ended federal support for the chemical and surgical gender mutilation of children, stopped taxpayer funding of such irreversible abominations, and forced more than three dozen health systems to end or suspend their programs as well.
Trump also enforced Title IX as written: women and girls deserve their own teams, trophies, scholarships, and locker rooms. The NCAA and other athletic organizations changed their rules in response. After years of Democrats doing everything they could to destroy women’s sports and ruin girls’ lives, Trump’s administration protects women and girls again.
19. He enacted America’s first nationwide school-choice program — and launched Trump Accounts.
As part of the President’s One Big Beautiful Bill, Trump enacted America’s first-ever nationwide school choice program. The new Education Freedom Tax Credit helps fund scholarships for tuition, books, and other educational costs.
That’s on top of the new Trump Accounts, which give every child a tax-advantaged stake in America’s future, including a $1,000 federal seed for eligible newborns. Parents gain power. Bureaucracies lose it. And children learn first-hand about free markets and future orientation.
20. He targeted anti-Christian bias and discrimination.
Trump created the White House Faith Office, Religious Liberty Commission, and Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias. He restored conscience protections and made clear that Christians do not surrender their First Amendment rights merely by entering public life.
He Restored Peace Through Strength and Put America First
21. He forced NATO to stop freeloading and increase defense spending by 250 percent.
For decades, wealthy European governments underfunded their militaries, effectively sending America the bill and using American taxpayers to subsidize their bloated welfare states. Trump forced NATO to replace its old two-percent-of-GDP spending target with an enormous five percent by 2035.
Allied spending is rising, American defense orders are soaring, and Europe is becoming a partner instead of a dependent.
22. He drove China out of the Caribbean.
China spent years building strategic beachheads at both ends of the Panama Canal, in Cuba, and in Maduro’s Venezuela. Trump forced Panama out of Belt and Road, expanded American security access around the Canal, and captured Maduro, who now sits in a New York jail cell awaiting trial.
Beijing’s planned encirclement of the United States collapsed. The Monroe Doctrine is back. Call it the Donroe Doctrine.
23. He brokered eight peace deals in just eight months.
In eight months, Trump brokered peace in eight conflicts spanning four continents, including wars that had gone on for as much as 40 years. It’s a record unmatched by any other President.
24. He launched and funded Golden Dome, the first-ever true missile defense for the U.S. population.
Ronald Reagan dreamed of making nuclear missiles obsolete through his Strategic Defense Initiative.
Today, Trump is actually building it: a layered homeland shield with space-based sensors and interceptors, conventional defenses, and new technologies including microwave systems to destroy drone swarms and directed-energy weapons (yes, lasers) that can replace an $11 million missile with $2 of electricity.
Congress has funded the initial $25 billion, with far more on the way once it passes the NDAA this fall. Better a shield than a sword.
25. He restored the warrior ethos — and reversed the recruiting crisis.
After years of missed targets under Biden, every active military component met or exceeded its 2025 recruiting goal. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refocused the newly renamed Department of War on actually winning wars, while pouring resources into shipbuilding, munitions, drones, missile defense, and America’s atrophied industrial base.
Young Americans once again believe their Commander-in-Chief is worth serving. And they’re showing up en masse.
Now Act Like It Matters. Because It Does.
Those are not tweets or campaign promises. They are changes in law, power, investment, sovereignty, culture, and the structure of the Republic itself. And they’re just the top 25: I could give you hundreds more.
Midterms are turnout elections. We do not need to convince Democrats to love Donald Trump. We need Republicans and friendly independents to understand what is at stake — and to show up.
And let’s be clear. When you say (as some of you will) “the Republicans need to do a good enough job telling this story”, you’re pointing at yourself. You are “the Republicans.” The Democrats don’t rely exclusively on their elected officials to tell their story: everyone from their media lackeys to their lowest-level supporters are constantly spreading their “news”, whatever that “news” happens to be.
Today’s conservatives have more ability to find whatever you want to know than any group of people in human history, yet half of them couldn’t name any of the accomplishments in this essay, and if they were to read it, they would just complain that something else they wanted hasn’t happened fast enough to suit them.
This is called “black-pilling.” It’s a loser mindset, and if you engage in it, you deserve to lose: horribly, painfully, personally. And guess what: you will, unless people who are serious step up to save you. Which is frankly pathetic, but for the rest of our sakes, necessary.
So tell people our story. Donald Trump is delivering great things, whether or not heaven on earth has broken out quite yet. Do the work, send the team he needs to Washington to finish the job, and get ready for 2028 afterward.
Take the time to learn at least five of these victories. Share this list with someone who needs it. And vote as though the most consequential Presidency in modern history depends on what you do.
Because it does.

Today’s conservatives have more ability to find whatever you want to know than any group of people in human history, yet half of them couldn’t name any of the accomplishments in this essay, and if they were to read it, they would just complain that something else they wanted hasn’t happened fast enough to suit them.
This is called “black-pilling.” It’s a loser mindset, and if you engage in it, you deserve to lose: horribly, painfully, personally. And guess what: you will, unless people who are serious step up to save you. Which is frankly pathetic, but for the rest of our sakes, necessary.
So tell people our story. Donald Trump is delivering great things, whether or not heaven on earth has broken out quite yet. Do the work, send the team he needs to Washington to finish the job, and get ready for 2028 afterward.
Take the time to learn at least five of these victories. Share this list with someone who needs it. And vote as though the most consequential Presidency in modern history depends on what you do.
Because it does.

Denmark’s Monstrous Human Rights Abuses in Greenland
Copenhagen took Greenlanders’ children, violated their bodies, and forfeited any right to rule their distant colony. Greenlanders want independence, but can’t afford it. There’s a solution.
Amarok Petersen was 13 years old when Danish doctors implanted an IUD in her body. No one told her. She discovered it only when she was 27, after years of severe uterine problems, when another doctor finally found the device. By then, the choice to have children had been stolen from her. Years later, she learned that doctors had also removed her fallopian tubes without telling her.
“The Danes don’t see us as humans,” she said.
Last week, two expert investigations put the weight of an official record behind what Petersen and thousands of other Greenlandic women — out of a total population of just 57,000 — had tried to tell for years. Denmark’s treatment of Greenlanders was not “benevolent stewardship” marred by “a handful of mistakes.” It was colonial abuse inflicted on their bodies, their children, their families and their sovereignty.
It also conveniently produced exactly the result Copenhagen wanted: Greenlanders’ birthrate collapsed, the growth of the native population slowed sharply, the percentage of the population that’s Danish thus increased, and Denmark’s annual costs to maintain the colony were controlled.
The new data demolishes Copenhagen’s claim to be Greenland’s benevolent guardian. Denmark has forfeited the moral authority — and the moral right — to rule the island. Greenland’s future rightfully belongs to the Greenlanders. The problem is, they can’t afford the independence most of them want.
There’s a solution.
Their Bodies, But Not Their Choice
Denmark’s forced contraception campaign was staggering in scale. By the end of 1970 alone, nearly half of all women of childbearing age or younger had been fitted with IUDs, mostly without their knowledge or consent.
In addition to IUDs, the program included contraceptive injections and other interventions, largely disguised as other procedures. This crime against humanity continued through 1991, when Greenland finally wrested its health system from its colonial overlord’s control.
The new human-rights investigation heard from 354 women describing 488 separate incidents. Of 410 reported IUD insertions, 300 women said they had never consented. In another 63 cases, investigators had no consent information at all.
Nearly one-third of the women were 14 or younger at the time; more than half were minors. Some were just 12 years old.
These were not adults making informed medical decisions. They were schoolgirls summoned to clinics, fitted with devices they did not understand, and sent home in pain. Some bled. Some developed infections. Some suffered lasting physical and psychological damage. Some, like Petersen, lost the ability to bear children even after discovering what had been done.
One team of investigators found reasonable grounds to believe that Denmark’s conduct in imposing measures to prevent births met the definition contained in the Genocide Convention. The investigators stopped short of finding genocide because they could not establish specific intent for that exact crime. That distinction will matter in court, reducing possible claims against the Danish government. It does not rescue Denmark’s reputation.
Nor does Copenhagen seriously dispute the charge. In September 2025, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen acknowledged that thousands of women and girls had received IUDs, many against their will. She admitted that Greenlanders had been subjected to systematic discrimination precisely because they were Greenlandic.
To her credit, she apologized on behalf of Denmark. But it’s far too little, far too late.
Denmark treated Greenlandic women not as patients or citizens, but as a herd to be culled. Petersen put it more plainly: “They took our resources. They took our bodies. And then they told us to thank them.”
Then Denmark Took The Children They Had
A state that believed it could decide which, if any, Greenlandic women would be allowed to become mothers also presumed to decide which Greenlandic mothers were allowed to keep their children.
The United Nations has reported that Inuit children from Greenland living in Denmark were seven times more likely than Danish-born children to be taken and placed outside the home. Danish authorities relied on standardized psychological and “parenting competency” tests developed for Danish parents, in the Danish language and within Danish cultural assumptions.
They then used those tests to judge Greenlanders whose language, emotional expression, extended-family structure and child-rearing traditions were profoundly different.
The result was both predictable and monstrous. Danish institutions defined Danish behavior as normal, interpreted Greenlandic standards as inferior, and took Greenlandic children from their families on that basis.
Mothers described being assessed without adequate interpreters. One says she was forbidden to speak Greenlandic to her twin sons during visits. The boys eventually lost their mother tongue as well as their mother.
It was a systematic effort to erase the Greenlandic population and culture for the benefit of an imperial master.
Denmark only abandoned the standardized tests for Greenlandic families in 2025, replacing them with assessments by a specialized unit with Greenlandic language and cultural competence.
Yet mere months later, authorities removed Ivana Nikoline Brønlund’s newborn daughter approximately one hour after birth without applying the new procedure. Denmark’s Social Minister called the failure a serious error. Yet only after widespread political outrage was the decision reversed, allowing mother and child to reunite.
This is not ancient history: this is yesterday.
Greenland Wants Independence. But It Can’t Afford It.
Greenlanders have been voting their way toward independence for nearly half a century. Understandably, more than 70 percent approved Home Rule in 1979. In 2008, 75.5 percent approved Self-Government — an arrangement that formally recognized Greenlanders as a people with the right to self-determination, and that established a legal path to full sovereignty.
By January 2025, a Verian poll found that 84 percent wanted independence, and 56 percent would vote for it even if the referendum were held immediately.
The hesitation is not the destination: it’s the price. Independence is expensive, and as badly as Denmark underfunds its colony, its colony doesn’t have the money to replace what it does spend. Independence means more than raising a flag.
A sovereign country must finance its government, build infrastructure, create and maintain embassies around the world, provide social services and defend an enormous, resource-rich island sitting astride the Arctic and Atlantic approaches to North America.
Greenland cannot do all of that alone. Denmark adds very little, but it’s far more than Greenland can do for itself.
So Greenland is not debating whether it should be free. It’s debating how to survive afterward.
The answer, of course, is a Compact of Free Association with the United States. It’s a model the U.S. has used successfully for and with Pacific nations such as Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Each is a sovereign, independent nation. But each also receives many of the benefits of being part of the United States, defense included.
Citizens of these three COFA nations may live and work indefinitely in the United States, as nonimmigrants without a visa. They can qualify for American benefits ranging from Pell Grants and work-study programs to Medicare and Social Security. They may join the U.S. military. If disaster strikes, FEMA shows up. America invests and creates jobs in their countries.
A COFA provides all the benefits of inclusion in the world’s most powerful economy but without giving up independence. It also provides all the benefits of independence without the costs.
It’s genuinely “have your cake and eat it too.”
For Greenlanders, a COFA means independence without strategic helplessness. American capital and technology, far greater than anything Denmark can provide, would flow in to build the ports, airports, power systems, telecommunications, housing and processing facilities, all employing Greenland’s citizens and providing futures for its children.
Greenland’s vast deposits of rare earth elements, hydrocarbons and other minerals could create high-paying jobs and a booming local economy rather than leave the island dependent on a stingy annual subsidy. Its fisheries could be processed at home rather than shipped away so others capture the value. Its tourism — currently a fraction of Alaska’s — could make the country a fortune: just ask Iceland.
Greenland could even become the Arctic answer to Bermuda or the Caymans: a sovereign financial center inside the American economic system, with easy access to both New York and London. The nation could attract offshore wealth beyond anything it has ever imagined.
Perhaps even more important, Greenland's young people would no longer have to choose between dependence and emigration. Greenlanders could build a rich, modern country all their own.
So What Would America Get Out of This?
For America, the advantages are every bit as substantial. A free and friendly Greenland would secure the northern approaches to the United States, anchor the Greenland-Iceland-UK Gap, protect emerging Arctic sea lanes and enhance early warning, missile defense, space surveillance and North Atlantic monitoring.
A COFA would give American companies access to critical minerals outside China’s control while denying Beijing or Moscow the chance to turn Greenlandic poverty into a strategic foothold threatening the approaches to North America.
America does not need to actually own Greenland. It needs Greenland to be free, prosperous and able to choose a durable partnership with America. That is partnership, not colonialism: indeed, it would replace the current colonialism with a true partnership. Greenlanders would own Greenland, while both nations become richer and safer.
This solves Greenlanders’ long-term problem even more than America’s. But it also solves a problem that almost no one in today’s ahistorical political class grasps. Despite its shameful behavior, Denmark is America’s friend today. But no one can guarantee the future.
The peaceful North Atlantic order is a constructed alignment, not a law of nature. The structure of power and interests may change. The map does not. And leaders should not base the security of those entrusted to them on utopian dreams or “permanent” alliances and institutions.
The example of Diego Garcia is a stark reminder. America chose Diego Garcia, its most vital Indian Ocean base, in part because of Britain’s “unquestioned sovereignty” over the island. Britain remains one of America’s closest allies.
Yet Britain's socialist government has signed a treaty to transfer sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago to Chinese-aligned Mauritius. It assures the United States and its own people that all may rely on “ironclad” treaty protections for continued American and British access to the base. Yet that’s obviously nonsense.
Britain did not have to become America’s enemy to alter the strategic arrangement on which our security relies. Governments change. Treaties change. Interests change. Alliances change. Geography does not.
Greenland will remain astride North America’s Arctic and Atlantic approaches no matter who governs in Copenhagen or Nuuk five, 50, or 100 years from now. Nations do not have the luxury of assuming every future government will play nice forever. American statesmen must plan for the geography their grandchildren will inherit, not merely for the diplomatic comfort of the present.
Denmark’s abuses answer the moral question. Greenlandic independence answers the colonial question. Free association with America answers the economic and strategic questions. It also enables what last week’s reports make clearly necessary, but which would be impossible without American help.
Denmark’s rule must end. Greenlanders must be free. But for that to happen, America alone can offer them a future in which independence means sovereignty, prosperity and security — not poverty, vulnerability or a new Chinese master.
