Hold, Please: Greenland Wants *Who* to Defend It From Being Invaded by the U.S.?

RedState 

There was a funny – and what I think was a fake – headline going around on social media recently that said something like "Denmark Demands That Germany and France Defend Greenland From U.S. Invasion." My husband and I had a quite a good laugh about that, even if it was fake, because Germany can't even keep its citizens warm during the winter and France is all talk when it comes to standing up to Donald Trump and the United States.

Then, a new headline emerged, a real one this time, and we laughed even harder at this one: "Greenland calls on NATO for protection from possible US invasion." It's a legitimate headline, and I even did a deep dig to confirm what was reported in the article. 

It's all true. Greenland's prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has made an appeal to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to commit to defending Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, in the event Donald Trump actually decides to take the island by force. (For the record, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the U.S. intends to purchase Greenland through diplomatic efforts, not launch a military invasion.)

Here's a bit of PM Nielsen's appeal to NATO, which was issued Monday:

“The United States has once again reiterated its desire to take over Greenland. This is something the government coalition in Greenland cannot accept under any circumstances.

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. As a part of the Realm, Greenland is a member of NATO, and the defense of Greenland must therefore be insured through NATO.”

The funny part here, of course, is that Greenland is essentially asking the United States to defend it from the United States, and that's because the United States is NATO. We fund it, we lead it, and we decide where it goes.

Let's take a look at some facts.

• According to AP News, the United States spends far more than any other NATO ally, and allies are moving toward committing more of their GDPs only because of intense pressure from President Trump.
• At the 2025 NATO summit, the spending agreement came as the U.S. – a.k.a., NATO’s biggest spender – continues to shape the alliance's priorities.
• As AP has reported, "the United States is NATO’s most powerful member" and "spends much more on defense than any other ally," which demonstrates the alliance’s reliance on U.S. military might.

You get the idea. 

It's ludicrous of Greenland to treat NATO like anything other than a military arm of the United States. And if European leaders didn't want it that way, they should have taken action a long time ago to shore up their own positions within the alliance. But, they were more than happy to have the U.S. foot most of the bill and shoulder most of the responsibility, so now they are stuck with the consequences of their own (in)actions. 

Let's face it, ain't nobody coming to Greenland's rescue if Donald Trump actually decides to invade it.

But, Greenland's PM keeps rattling his ceremonial saber and jawing about it anyway, saying Tuesday, "If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark." 

"If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark," Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said at a news conference Tuesday in Copenhagen. "We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."   

You just know President Trump is laughing about Denmark's reliance on NATO/the U.S. for Greenland's defense. And he certainly won't be put off by Denmark's strongly-worded appeal. “We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not because if we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland and we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor,” Trump has said.

Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other Trump administration officials are expected to meet Wednesday with officials from Denmark and Greenland. 

Rubio Designates Egyptian, Jordanian and Lebanese Chapters of Muslim Brotherhood as Foreign Terrorist Organizations

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the first official set of Muslim Brotherhood chapters that are designated as “global terrorist” organizations. The first set will not come as a big surprise: Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.

The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood were chased out of the country by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi over a decade ago. The Jordanian chapter is similarly aligned and was previously targeted by King Abdullah. The Lebanese faction is not as well known, but their support for Hamas is well understood.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio – Today, as a first step in support of President Trump’s commitment to eliminate the capabilities and operations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters that pose a threat to the United States as described in Executive Order 14362, the United States is imposing terrorist designations against the Lebanese, Jordanian, and Egyptian chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Department of State is designating the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), and the group’s leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh as an SDGT. Concurrently, the Department of the Treasury is designating the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas.

These designations reflect the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood chapters’ violence and destabilization wherever it occurs. The United States will use all available tools to deprive these Muslim Brotherhood chapters of the resources to engage in or support terrorism. (READ MORE)

Keep in mind, the Muslim Brotherhood is the fabric on the umbrella of political Islam. Each faction represents an individual spline on the umbrella construct, but the Muslim Brotherhood overall is a political extremist system for various levels of authentic Islam.

The regional chapters that really matter, the difficult ones to navigate, will be in Qatar, Syria and especially the Turkish factions. These are more politically connected to the home government interests.

Trump and Noem End Temporary Protect Status for Somali Immigrants

President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have announced the end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants.  The change comes as massive fraud is currently being investigated by multiple agencies of the U.S. government following discoveries in the Minnesota region.

(VIA FOX) – The Trump administration is ending temporary protection status (TPS) for Somalia, affecting several thousand Somalis currently living in the U.S. and several hundred currently living in Minnesota under the protection.

Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17.

“Temporary means temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital in a statement. “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.” (MORE)

VIA DHS – WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the termination of Somalia’s designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The termination will be effective on March 17, 2026.

“Temporary means temporary. Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status,” said Secretary Noem. “Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests. We are putting Americans first.”

Somalia’s designation expires March 17, 2026. At least 60 days before a TPS designation expires, the Secretary of Homeland Security, after consultation with appropriate U.S. government agencies, must review the country to determine whether the conditions supporting its designation continue to be met and, if so, how long to extend the designation.

Somali nationals who do not have a legal status other than TPS that would allow them to remain in the United States should use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s CBP Home mobile app to report their departure from the United States. The app is a safe, secure way to self-deport and includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and the opportunity for potential future legal immigration. [link]

President Trump Delivers Remarks from Ford Truck Plant – “The USMCA Means Nothing to Me”

President Trump’s impromptu remarks from inside the Ford F150 plant will probably not make headline news because, well, quite frankly, what President Trump says below is something the financial media just don’t want to discuss.

This is really an important point.  In the era where information is skewed based on the interests of the organization sharing the information, government or private sector media, it is extremely valuable to just listen to what President Trump says directly.  In comments such as this brief segment below, you can see exactly where he is going with manufacturing and trade policy.

Specifically pay attention to how President Trump emphasizes, then reemphasizes the irrelevance of the USMCA from his perspective.  As we have noted all along, the Trump administration (USTR Greer) will abandon the trilateral USMCA this year and instead begin a formal process for two bilateral free trade agreements.

Now, the entire financial media system is pretending this is not going to happen, especially in the statements by every stakeholder north of the border.  However, listen to how President Trump himself describes the USMCA or CUSMA as the Snow Mexicans like to call it.  Trump is completely nonplussed about what is going to happen.  WATCH:

U.S. Offers To Trade Its Liberal Women For Iranian Women

Babylon Bee🐝 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of ongoing efforts to improve things in both countries, the United States reportedly made an official diplomatic offer to trade all of its liberal women for Iranian women.

According to highly placed sources, representatives of the State Department, including Secretary Marco Rubio, had engaged in high-level talks with officials from the Iranian government to lay out parameters for a trade that would send every liberal American woman to Iran in exchange for Persian women.

"It's a deal that makes too much sense not to happen," Rubio said in a brief statement to reporters. "In the United States, we're overrun with unpleasant, objectionable, hateful women of multi-colored hair. In Iran, they seek to oppress the rights of the beautiful Persian women. In light of the current state of affairs in both countries, making a historic trade is a viable solution. Just think about how much life would instantly improve in America with no more liberal women."

White House insiders confirmed that the idea for the swap originated with President Donald Trump. "Why don't we get rid of the nasty, ugly, liberal women and bring in hot Persian ladies?" Trump reportedly asked his advisors. "Everything would be great. Protests would disappear. Traffic would be less congested. They won't let the crazy liberal women go on social media in Iran. And those Persian women are beautiful, believe me. It's nothing but winning. Get it done, Marco."

At publishing time, Iranian officials were reportedly open to moving forward with the trade after realizing that Islamic law could hide all the unattractive liberal women under burqas and prevent them from participating in society.
