While the focus of most Americans in on the invasion of Minnesota by lawless masked agents of the Department of Homeland Security who are grabbing U.S. citizens off the streets, former conservative campaign advisor Rick Wilson raised the alarm that the Pentagon appears to be going full steam ahead with plans for a Greenland invasion.
Wilson warned on his Substack platform that the Joint Chiefs of Staff appear supportive of military action, at the expense of the NATO alliance.
Wilson wrote that the Joint Chiefs, tasked with preventing military adventurism and unnecessary conflicts, are instead "trying to figure out how to drape a flag over an impending crime of such sweeping malice, stupidity, and toxicity that it will shame this nation for generations."
He criticized military participation in what he characterized as a "colonial land-grab" demanded by Trump. "Here is the terrifying part: the Joint Chiefs of Staff, men who have spent four decades wearing the uniform, men who talk endlessly about 'honor,' 'integrity,' and the 'rules-based international order,' are currently sharpening the knives."
Wilson dismissed assessments that Greenland poses any strategic threat, noting that neither China nor Russia harbors territorial ambitions there despite Trump's claims.
Rather than characterizing the proposal as merely "controversial," Wilson warned of catastrophic consequences. "They are participating in a strategic suicide pact that will dismantle seventy-five years of American alliances in a single afternoon," enabling China to invade Taiwan and Russia to seize Baltic states while continuing its war against Ukraine, the ex-strategist added.
Wilson argued that a U.S. military presence in Greenland without invitation would effectively end NATO. "The moment an American boot hits Greenlandic soil without an invitation, NATO, the most successful military alliance in the history of the world, is dead. Article 5 becomes a cruel joke, a relic of a time when America's word actually meant something."
He concluded with stark warnings about geopolitical consequences: "In Moscow, Vladimir Putin is salivating. He has worked for a quarter-century to fracture the West, and Trump is handing him the pieces on a silver platter. A U.S. invasion of a NATO ally is the ultimate 'Go' signal for Russian tanks to roll into Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. If America won't respect the borders of its friends, why should Russia respect the borders of its 'near abroad'?"
