Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said Greenlanders could vote to join Russia if U.S. President Donald Trump did not move quickly to secure the Arctic island, Interfax reported on Monday.

“Trump needs to hurry. According to unverified information, in a few days there could be a sudden referendum, at which the entire 55,000-strong Greenland could vote to join Russia," Interfax reported, quoting Medvedev, a former Russian president.

"And then that’s it. No new little stars on the (U.S.) flag."

French Troops have arrived in Greenland to help train locals how to surrender to the U.S.

That's why nobody buys French tanks. They only have a reverse gear.

Germany just announced they are pulling back their troops.

According to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a group of independent researchers released a report that followed a two-year investigation. That investigation found that Denmark — from 1966 through 1992 — forced sterilization on more than 4,500 women and girls in Greenland, some as young as 12 years old. Many, if not most, were never told.

Fact check: true

Over the weekend, Trump unleashed more globalist fury in Europe by threatening to impose escalating tariffs on Denmark and seven obstreperous EU countries unless they make a reasonable deal on Greenland. As is their recent custom, representatives of the 27 EU members convened on Sunday for another “emergency summit” to discuss launching a trade war against the US to stop Trump. It fizzled like a wet Roman candle. They chickened out. The Times reported, “European Union Officials Lean Toward Negotiating, Not Retaliating, Over Trump Tariff Threat.”

To be fair, the muscular approach never had a chance of getting off the EU’s flabby ground. I’m not talking about the EU leaders being dainty, conflict-avoiding snakes in the grass, which they undoubtedly are. Rather, I refer to hardened realities. Europe has sent all its military equipment to Ukraine, and now must buy any new weapons from the US, a poor setup for opposing America. The continent’s economy lies in shambles. It’s fair to say the European Union is largely broke.

Perhaps most poignantly, Trump’s new tariffs cleverly targeted only eight EU countries— leaving 19 voting members who’d probably prefer to stay out of the fight, thank you.

President Trump has put a clock on them. Absent a Greenland deal, additional tariffs switch on in ten days, on February 1st. Then, if there’s still no deal by June, more tariffs pile on. I doubt the EU will let the February 1st tariffs hit. Having already watched this movie last year, when the EU threatened a trade war the first tariff time around, you can mark me down for predicting a deal happening within the next two weeks, or at least enough movement toward a deal that Trump will push their deadline a little.

Yesterday, post-summit, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on NBC’s Meet the Depressed. In his calm, intellectual way, with a mild smile, Bessent reassured NBC’s anchors that European leaders would —sooner or later— understand that American control of the island is “best for Greenland, best for Europe, and best for the United States.” Win-win-win! He added confidently, “The European leaders will come around.”

The media treats Trump’s idea of buying Greenland as some sort of drug-induced brainstorm. But it’s not new. In fact, Trump is the fourth president to try to buy the Arctic island. The first was Democrat Andrew Johnson (1865–1869), fresh off his successful purchase of Alaska from the Russians for two cents an acre. Johnson promptly sent Secretary of State William H. Seward —who’d brokered the Alaska deal— to Denmark, to try to buy Greenland. But the sale fell through.

Next up was William Howard Taft (R, 1909–1913). In 1910, Taft’s administration proposed a complicated land-exchange deal that would have transferred Greenland to the U.S. in exchange for concessions in other territories. But again, the deal went phut.

In 1946, after World War II and amid emerging Cold War tensions, Democrat President Harry S. Truman tried again, formally offering Denmark $100 million in gold (worth about $14 billion today) for Greenland, citing its military importance, but Denmark rejected the offer.

President Trump first mentioned buying Greenland during Trump 1.0, so it’s not even a new idea for him. But don’t rely on the Nation’s “paper of record” to remind you about any of this bipartisan Greenland history. Haha, that would be informative. And, well, you know: Orange man bad!
