All of the Trump administration’s reasons for seizing Greenland—it’s for Arctic “defense,” Denmark can’t do the job, there’s almost no one there, and what right does Denmark have, anyway?—can all apply to Canada’s Arctic islands.
Ottawa’s gotta start preparing—now.

We are now a rabid animal of a superpower. The threat to the world is so great that we need to stop hand-wringing about how we got here and focus 100% in this election year about how to stop them.
Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”

A lot of people are mad at Schumer for saying this. But he's right. Democrats don't control a single branch of government and they can't pass anything. Only Republicans can rein in Trump because they control both chambers of Congress. Democrats have no cards to play here.
Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."

I think the world is in disbelief at the shock and awe speed at which the US is unravelling, the reality of what they have become seems to be too much too quick for leaders to digest and act on.
