L’inversione di rotta di Trump sulla Groenlandia è seguita alla spinta degli aiutanti contro l’opzione militare, dicono le fonti

Donnie Diddler is sundowning so hard that he has no idea what is going on. Him confusing Iceland for Greenland is just more proof. The entire world knows President Miller is pulling all the strings on the dementia patient in the White House.

Soft-paywalled, but the takeaway is this:

>White House officials had pushed a less provocative approach, with several key members of the president’s team unenthusiastic about possibly using military force to seize the Danish territory, the two White House sources said. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

And:

>While aides were broadly aligned on the goal of taking over Greenland, they were split over the president’s aggressive approach, the two White House sources said.

>In most White House meetings, more officials have urged caution than those pushing for the United States to take the island by force, said the sources, who were unaware of serious discussions on military options to seize Greenland.

>Tom Dans, appointed by Trump to lead the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, along with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, had been “pushing for a middle ground” on Greenland, while White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller showed a willingness to keep annexation and the potential use of military force on the table, the sources said.

>Dans and Miller did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for Vance declined comment.

>A State Department official said: “President Trump’s team, including Secretary Rubio, routinely present him with a suite of options on issues of national concern.”

>Trump himself has been driving the issue, the sources said. One of them, speaking before Trump’s turnaround on tariffs and the use of force, said the president had wanted to retain the option of a military move.

Attacking Denmark hasn’t been just public raving by a demented toddler, They’ve really been talking about it in the White House.

That could suggest they have chosen the hybrid attack/Greenland “independence”-push route and a longer game.

Hopefully the EU isn’t naive enough to drop pressure just because it got momentary lip service from Trump at Davos.

Miller continues to be a completely awful human being, exceptionally terrible even among this bunch.   

It really is the Zionists pushing the craziest stuff, get them out! Lutnick miller, get them out

unpopular opinion, but i’m thankful for this buffoon. we should really ramp up the protection of our north. puylo’s “5 seas” doctrine is real and he already shows what he’s capable of in UA (inb4 “orks fight like crap”, yes they do, which doesn’t mean Ukrainians aren’t being killed and their home and land destroyed). i just hope our politicians take a real lesson from this and EU really stands up on its feet.

It’s all bollocks, a smoke screen.

Show us the Epstein files! This is what we’re not talking about.

Also Ukraine, also not talking about the shocking USA stance here. 

And Palestine? 

He’s managed to own the entire news cycle, Steve Bannon style.

It was just his usual bully followed by TACO tactic. He got nothing but declared victory.

He was never going to attack. This is how he negotiates. He says the worst exaggeration possible and then he negotiates once his counterpart is fearful and desperate. He literally wrote in one of his dumb books that this is his negotiation strategy. Everyone falls for it.

Danes and Greenlanders alike were surprised when 1st term Trump admin said they wanted Greenland, and moreso when 2nd term started acting on it.

But it’s nothing to be surprised about, because they didn’t pull the idea out of thin air. Every U.S. administration for at least a hundred years has been briefed about the Greenland problem. And yes, of course the invasion option has been on the table in the White House before Trump.

The only news here is that the Americans elected a president who thinks he’s smarter than every single predecessor, and that he is able to solve with a few months of coercion and bravado what almost every president before him decided was better solved by softer means.

Trumps great achievement now is, that he’s put on full display for the whole World to see not only his own objectives, but the objectives of The United States. And Denmark would be wise to be very careful even when a future, friendlier appearing president wishes to discuss anything about Greenland, because his objectives will be the exact same.

Haven’t we all figured Trump out yet? He’s going to slow drip, hint, and threaten until he changes the conversation enough to get what he wants. And then when he doesn’t he will resort to violence. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone here. His statements change nothing. At least until we know more about this framework

Stephen “might is right” Miller was pushing the military option? Shocking.
