Yes, dear federalists, fervent Atlanticists, the actor closest to attacking European Union territory is your beloved American ally.
Mrs von der Leyen urges us to equip ourselves heavily, even as public healthcare deteriorates and education systems collapse. NATO has resolved that we must rebuild roads and bridges at our own cost to allow Alliance tanks to move toward a war with Russia—a conflict deemed unavoidable, even if it requires deliberate provocation.
The admiral who once aspired to be President and never shies away from proclaiming NATO’s terrorist tactics as patriotic duty casually consigns young Portuguese men and women to fight for Zelensky’s fascist Ukraine, supposedly to prevent an invasion by Putin’s forces. António Costa, meanwhile, pledges Zelensky endless support, certain that his new role as President of the European Council has unleashed his inner strongman, supposedly responding to Russian claims on what is “ours” and their alleged desire to enjoy the comforts of “our civilisation.”
Each daybreak, we are expected to watch eastwards or at least listen intently for signs of barbarian hordes invading from Vilar Formoso to Elvas.
Yet suddenly, the focus shifts northward in an imperative to protect Greenland—this vast, icy land rich in resources and strategically crucial as a gateway to the Arctic, now the newest arena in geopolitical contests.
Have the Russians altered their strategy? Has Putin resolved to bypass NATO and the EU by advancing through the north?
No sign of that. Moscow remains occupied with methodically dismantling energy infrastructure in Western Ukraine, deploying Oreshniks and Kalibr missiles that effectively outmatch NATO’s Patriot defense systems. Greenland remains off the Russian agenda.
Should Putin eventually target the Danish-ruled island, viewing it as a future Crimea, it will likely be too late. Donald Trump, a militant pacifist and indirect Nobel Peace Prize laureate courtesy of the fascist Corina’s generosity, has already moved forward, preparing the Stars and Stripes to fly over what could become the 51st U.S. state.
With friends like these…
Yes, dear federalists, fervent Atlanticists, the closest threat to European Union soil comes from your cherished American ally. While Washington busied itself reabsorbing Venezuela into its hemisphere—kidnapping its legitimate president, since the global economy still runs on oil—you stood silent. No objections arose when the US planned, then abandoned, a joint attack on Iran alongside its humanitarian Zionist allies. After all, democracy must be restored wherever it threatens the so-called rules-based international order.
Now, however, the imperial eagle, mounted by the bold Trump, spreads its wings to seize Greenland—that is, NATO’s commander has chosen to claim a segment of NATO territory itself, and part of the European Union at that—a land belonging to one of America’s most compliant vassals, including Portugal.
Though the issue fluctuates with Trump’s unpredictable mindset, the outcome appears destined: the U.S. president will not surrender control of Greenland. Whether through Denmark, by negotiation, or by force, this will mark another disgrace for the European Union. Simultaneously, NATO’s façade as an “alliance” will shatter further, exposing it as merely a poorly maintained mask for America’s military dominance over Europe.
Some predict that U.S. military intervention in Greenland could spell NATO’s demise. Before that unfolds—if such American aggression comes to pass—it is crucial to evaluate Europe’s unity. Which nations would stand firm against the military forces whose victories are mythologized in Hollywood and portrayed as Western heroism? Which would continue on, whistling carefree, dismissing the fate of a remote icy island as irrelevant?
At that turning point, we would witness not just NATO’s exposure but the gradual collapse of the grand illusion called European integration—an impossibility to grasp for anyone familiar with Europe’s history without illusion.
It has become routine, as a means of avoiding uncomfortable truths, to attribute all this to Donald Trump’s overt madness rather than the imperial nature of the United States itself. But to ignore the reality behind this is unwise, dear federalists and Atlanticists.
This imperial drive defines American history especially after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union’s dissolution—the moment supposedly heralding a new paradise—and also results from the creation of the so-called “rules-based international order,” whose rules shift at Washington’s whim and interests.
The United States has openly acted as an imperial power since at least the end of World War II. Western governments—more or less like De Gaulle, whether from the 1950s or the 1980s—have consistently pledged allegiance to this so-called beacon of democracy, particularly when confronted by the ever-present Eastern threat.
This vassalage stretched deeper under the banner of the rules-based order. Thus, European forces obediently followed American “liberators” into Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya—where, according to the official American story, European soldiers pitifully failed to die in adequate numbers.
While Trump’s erratic conduct disturbed many, Joe Biden’s has been accepted with tolerance, despite having created—the assistance of Obama, that expert in remote executions notwithstanding—the disastrous conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, while worsening Palestine’s plight.
The United States threatens Greenland and shames NATO and the EU—now through Trump’s actions. Dear federalists and Atlanticists, review the conflicts, coups, and massacres stretching over four continents since Korea, long before Trump assumed power. Back then, he merely embodied the American Dream: a mega-businessman who amassed a vast real-estate and financial empire through talent and the peaceful workings of “free opportunity.”
As Eisenhower warned, the U.S. president serves the military-industrial complex to meet imperial capitalism’s demands. Trump is no anomaly—simply another leader sustaining a system the West continues to endorse as globalist without modification.
Pardon the repetition, esteemed federalists and Atlanticists, but you only recognized this truth—of which you are complicit—when it threatened your doorstep in Greenland. You ignored the tragedies in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Palestine. You overlooked coups in Latin America, endorsed dictators, and sponsored repression. This too defines America—long before Trump’s birth.
So no, Trump’s election is not an accident. He was elected, defeated, and elected again. As the Portuguese saying goes, anyone may stumble the first time; the second time, only those who will to do so.
With friends who repay loyalty by invading your home, complaining about enemies is futile.
