The latest flap over Greenland isn’t some late-night conspiracy — it’s a raw expression of an America First instinct that too many in the political class are afraid to admit. President Trump has openly revived talks about bringing Greenland under U.S. control for strategic reasons, and his team has publicly discussed options that put American security first rather than kowtowing to European sensitivities.
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller didn’t dance around the issue when pressed on television; he flatly said “Greenland should be part of the United States” and scoffed at the idea that Denmark would fight over it. That bluntness terrifies the diplomatic class and the smug media, but it also reflects a hard truth about power: if our leadership won’t defend American interests, nobody else will.
Officials in Washington even acknowledged that military options have not been taken off the table, which is exactly the sort of clarity sensible voters should welcome when confronting growing Russian and Chinese activity in the Arctic. The idea that the U.S. must remain passive while adversaries circle strategic territory is absurd; leaders who refuse to use leverage are inviting weakness.
Predictably, Europe went into a hissy-fit, insisting Greenland “belongs to its people” and warning that any American move could fray NATO ties. Let them worry — there’s a growing consensus among patriots here that alliances should be partnerships of equals that serve American security, not clubs that expect the United States to pay for everyone else’s defense forever.
It’s also not some romantic notion to say Greenland matters; it’s a massive, strategically located landmass with critical installations and resources that affect U.S. defense posture in the Arctic, including important bases and valuable minerals. If America wants to secure sea lanes, monitor rivals, and maintain technological superiority, thinking boldly about our footprint in the Arctic is exactly what a responsible administration should do.
You’ll hear the usual hand-wringing about sovereignty and norms — from people who cheered when foreign navies prowled international waters and foreign companies bought up our ports. The right response is negotiation backed by undeniable strength: offer Greenlanders prosperity and security through serious, American-led partnerships, and demand fair treatment from allies who have long relied on U.S. muscle without paying their fair share.
Meanwhile, the outrage from the legacy press and left-wing capitals reveals their true priorities: prestige and the maintenance of a postwar order that increasingly leaves Americans exposed. If discussions about Greenland force a long-overdue reckoning about NATO’s utility and who actually shoulders the burden, then this debate will have done the country a service.
Hardworking patriots don’t want needless conflict, but they deserve leaders who put American security and prosperity first — even when that means making uncomfortable choices. If bringing Greenland into a closer relationship with the United States strengthens our defenses and secures critical resources for future generations, then it’s time to stop apologizing for defending the homeland.
