"NBC: 'Trump calls for ‘immediate negotiations’ on Greenland, but rules out using force' ...
Every story that treats 'I won’t use force' as the news, rather than 'I reminded everyone that I could use unstoppable force,' contributes to a distorted picture of reality. Readers who rely on mainstream coverage encounter a version of Trump that has been sanded down, made palatable, rendered comprehensible within frameworks that don’t apply to him."
"He said he wouldn’t do it. For now.
You won’t find this in any diplomacy textbook. It’s the language of a protection racket.
So how did reporters cover it?
NPR (original headline): 'Trump says
I won’t use force" to obtain Greenland in Davos speech'
ABC News: 'Trump rules out using military force to acquire Greenland in Davos speech'”

Now Everyone's Saying 'Oh, Good'
Trump told the media exactly how they'd cover his Greenland threats. They did it anyway.Parker Molloy (The Present Age)
"The system worked, in part, because countries believed the U.S. would honor its commitments. ...
The reality is that when the architect of the postwar order becomes its violator, the entire system collapses. If the U.S. can threaten NATO allies with impunity, why should China hold back from attacking Taiwan? Why should Russia stop at Ukraine?"
"America, for all its missteps, had been the guarantor of a rules-based order in which smaller nations could trust that their sovereignty would be respected. American dominance was by no means faultless, but it was consciously unlike the empires of old, with a firm policy against pursuing territorial conquest."

Trump’s Attempted Greenland Grab Has Turned America Into a Predatory Power
His bid might have been thwarted for now, but America will be regarded as a global threat going forwardBerny Belvedere (The UnPopulist)
"Trump wants to invade a NATO ally so we can have military bases we already have, to combat a threat that does not exist. To make matters worse, Trump is now citing his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize as a reason for his aggression toward Greenland.
A military takeover of Greenland would blow up NATO, isolate the U.S., and dramatically strengthen Russia and China—and for what?
It’s pure idiocy."

Trump’s Greenland Problem isn't Going Anywhere
It's the rare idea that is putrid politics and policyDan Pfeiffer (The Message Box)
Your #German word for today is #Scheinbushaltestelle.
In Germany some care homes have a fake bus stop so demented people don‘t get lost but end up waiting there for „the bus home“. They feel in control and can be found and picked up.

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!
Ukrainian mountaineer Antonina Samoilova shared her tips for staying warm in extreme cold.
Antonina became the first Ukrainian woman to climb two eight-thousanders within a single day. She has summited the world’s highest peak - Mount Everest - three times and conquered five of the highest mountains on the planet, all despite storms, extreme cold, and other severe weather challenges.

“It’s right now a little bit in progress,” #Trump told reporters. “But pretty far along. It gets us everything we needed to get.” Trump, however, would not say if the deal involved the #UnitedStates obtaining ownership of #Greenland.

A CNN reporter asked #Trump if the deal he was pursuing with European leaders still involved the #US owning #Greenland. Trump hesitated, looking up as he thought of what to say, before answering: “It’s a long-term deal. It’s the ultimate long-term deal.” Asked how long that was, he replied: “Infinite. There is no time limit. It’s a deal that’s forever.”
Trump said the framework of a deal relating to Greenland would be put out “pretty soon.”

Speaking to CNBC, #Trump said the #Greenland deal was everything the White House wanted & was a deal everyone was happy with.
"Its a little bit complex," Trump said about the deal, saying it will be explained "down the line."
"This is forever," Trump told CNBC.

No immediate comment from #NATO
Reuters has asked NATO for more details on Trump's announcement.
#Sweden’s Foreign Minister Eva Stenergard said the work of #allies on #Greenland "has had an effect." [whatever that means]
#EU leaders will proceed with an emergency summit on Thursday even after #Trump rowed back on his threats of #tariffs against some countries over #Greenland, a council spox said.

#Trump said that VP #JDVance, Secy of State #MarcoRubio, the special envoy #SteveWitkoff & other officials would continue to lead negotiations on #Greenland. But it seemed that #MarkRutte, the secretary general of #NATO, was able to successfully de-escalate tension with Trump after days of threats & insults against European leaders who resisted his territorial expansion.

"Mark Carney’s speech at Davos yesterday really is worth your time. It made some of the front pages today but the news cycle moves so fast that it’s already yesterday’s news. Part of the challenge of this moment - and I believe the job of journalists - is to focus on the signal, not the noise. And if you have time to take in one thing properly, this week, I’d suggest it’s this."

#Trump is on one of his middle-of-the-night social media posting screeds.
Predictably the posts are bizarre, inappropriate, unprofessional & full of weird AI created images.
He’s ranting about #Greenland, & really misreading the messages from world leaders.

One horrible and unbelievable outcome of an #American invasion of #Greenland will be the fact that no US veterans will be able to come to France to remember the brave women and men who defeated the #fascists and #nazis. Think about how incomprehensible that will be and while your at it, just remember the behaviour of your commander in chief last time he was there. 👇
It's just not worth it so what are you going to do because we know exactly what we are going to do.

"Polling shows a majority of Americans think Mr Trump’s presidency a failure. A president who lacks consent at home cannot credibly demand submission abroad. What he projects instead is desperation. Mr Trump believes influence comes through ultimatums and coercion. But power, in the real world, rests on trust, predictability and persuading others to follow."
"For all Donald Trump’s bluster about restoring American strength, his attempt to bully European allies over Greenland reveals a deeper weakness: coercive diplomacy only works if people are afraid to resist. Increasingly, they aren’t. And that is a good thing. Bullies often back down when confronted – their power relies on fear."

The Guardian view on Trump and Greenland: get real! Bullying is not strength
Editorial: Tariff threats over the Arctic island expose the limits of coercive diplomacy. Europe’s united response and pushback shows fear is fadingEditorial (The Guardian)
"French intelligence, working with Ukraine, deliberately fed false high-level intelligence to Trump’s regime to test whether it would leak. That information quickly surfaced in Russian channels, confirming their worst fears. As a result, France and other European services have effectively cut the United States out of critical intelligence flows related to Ukraine and broader security matters."
~ Ben Meiselas
"The monumental idiocy of Trump’s threat to impose a 10% tariff on eight European nations that do not support his bid to conquer Greenland cannot go unremarked.
Foreign nations do not pay tariffs on goods imported into the US. Tariffs are paid by US companies that import goods into the US. Those companies pass their costs onto US consumers."
~ Robert B. Hubbell
"Donald Trump is not blowing up NATO by accident. He is not threatening tariffs on European allies because he is impulsive. And he is not floating bizarre new global bodies where nations pay billions for access because he suddenly cares about peace.
This is a strategy. A crude one, but coherent. And it is designed to replace alliances with tribute."

Trump's Latest Shakedown
The president just upped the anteJulie Roginsky (Salty Politics with Julie Roginsky)
"This post is bonkers on many levels. ...
The post also makes explicit that Trump is trying to use tariffs not to nurture the American economy but to force other countries to do his bidding."
I intend to punish, cow, and coerce you by taxing my own citizens.
"In a long screed [yesterday] morning, Trump’s social media account said the president is placing tariffs of 10% on all goods from the countries currently protecting Greenland after February 1, and that the tariffs will increase to 25% on June 1."

#Trump for months has insisted that the US should control #Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of #NATO ally #Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.”
“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland,” he said Friday, without providing details. “We need Greenland for national security.”

Trump suggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the US controlling Greenland, a message that came as a Congressional delegation met Danish & Greenlandic lawmakers in Copenhagen & sought to lower tensions.
