There is no security threat from Greenland. The idea is nonsensical and foolish, and pretending that we need Denmark for national security is equally absurd. In a world already rife with conflicts, we are being told to prioritize Greenland. This is not only ignorant but dangerous—it normalizes reckless behavior and perpetuates the illusion that such actions are justified or beneficial.
Let’s be clear: there is only one reason and one consequence to declaring war on Denmark. The consequence is a weakened alliance with our closest partners. The reason? Democracies are increasingly unappealing to the ultra-wealthy elites who perceive themselves as gods. It’s simple—they want to rule by their own terms, speaking as though their words are divine. They demand obedience because, in their minds, they are the ultimate authority. Their tongues, they believe, speak for God.
Imagine you are the president or prime minister of one of our European allies. You would quickly realize that no choice is a good choice. Taking action is a loss, but doing nothing is a disaster. NATO’s core principle mandates mutual defense; an attack on one is an attack on all. After 9/11, NATO members—including Denmark—rallied to our side in Afghanistan, sacrificing their soldiers and resources for collective security. Now, imagine being tasked with responding to an attack on Denmark. What would you do if you were leading England, Germany, France, or any other NATO member?
Technically, by NATO law, members must come to Denmark’s defense. But would you be willing to go to war against the United States? It would be a suicide mission. The U.S. has unmatched numbers, advanced weaponry, and an insurmountable financial advantage. Yet, if these nations united against the U.S., they would expose vulnerabilities, leaving their backs undefended. And the most chilling question of all is: Can they trust Trump? Of course not. He has shown no loyalty to anyone he perceives as weaker—unless they bend to his will.
Which democracy would willingly become a slave? Not to a more powerful nation that acknowledges mutual respect, but to a man driven by narcissism and greed. Trump is not a leader but a performer—an actor, an entertainer, and a thief. He preys on his own supporters, selling them junk made in China while masquerading as a patriot. He convinces them he loves his country, but his actions reveal otherwise.
No nation would willingly stand with someone like Elon Musk as their supreme ruler, yet Trump’s vision aligns with dictators and oligarchs who revel in unchecked power. Democracies, however, value freedom, equality, and mutual respect. Would Russia defend NATO? Unlikely. Would China? Certainly not—it values Western consumers too much to risk its economic stability. If the United States were foolish enough to follow Trump’s destructive path, stretching its military power thin, it would create the perfect opportunity for adversaries to exploit our weaknesses. We would find ourselves outmatched, outnumbered, and overpowered.
What does Trump offer? Fabricated enemies and empty promises. He demands his followers buy more guns, placing them on a path of self-destruction. He distracts them with anger and fear, fueling division while quietly stripping away opportunities, justice, and equality. History has shown us how dictators operate: first, they dumb down their people; then, they rob them of hope and fairness; finally, they channel their anger to fabricate enemies, convincing them that war will solve their problems.
But war will not solve anything. It will only deepen the suffering, while the wealthiest grow richer, feeding their insatiable hunger for control. And as they fabricate more enemies, the cycle continues. A true leader would break this cycle. Trump perpetuates it.
Elon Musk’s actions exemplify the erosion of democratic norms under the influence of unchecked wealth and power. Through his acquisition of Twitter (now X), Musk has positioned himself not just as a tech mogul but as a gatekeeper of public discourse. Social media, once a platform for free expression, has become a tool for shaping public opinion and controlling the narrative.
Musk’s interference isn’t confined to the United States. His influence extends into Europe, where his actions align disturbingly with the rise of authoritarian ideologies. By amplifying divisive rhetoric, promoting conspiracy theories, and undermining institutions, Musk contributes to a climate where fascist tendencies can take root. His companies, such as Tesla and SpaceX, serve as economic leverage, allowing him to pressure nations into policies that favor corporate power over public welfare.
This isn’t accidental. The ultra-wealthy see democracies, with their regulations and accountability, as obstacles to their ambitions. They prefer authoritarian regimes that allow them to operate unchecked. Musk, like many oligarchs, is not just a businessman—he is part of a larger movement to consolidate power at the expense of democratic values.
The phrase “He who controls the narrative, controls the world” has never been more relevant. Musk’s purchase of Twitter was not just a business move—it was a strategic acquisition of influence. By owning one of the most influential communication platforms, Musk holds the power to amplify certain voices while silencing others. This creates a curated reality that serves his interests.
Narrative control has always been a powerful tool. Historically, it has been used to justify wars, consolidate power, and oppress dissenting voices. In the digital age, this power is magnified exponentially. Algorithms amplify misinformation, propaganda spreads faster than truth, and public opinion can be swayed in real-time. Musk’s control over this landscape gives him a frightening ability to shape political and social discourse globally.
The wealthy benefit from division. By turning citizens against one another over issues like immigration, climate change, or healthcare, they distract from their own exploitation of society. The narrative of a fabricated enemy—be it Denmark, Greenland, or an imagined “other”—serves to channel public anger away from those truly responsible for systemic issues.
Musk’s rhetoric, like Trump’s, fuels this division. It distracts from real issues: stagnant wages, rising healthcare costs, and dwindling opportunities. Instead of addressing these problems, they fabricate enemies and sell the illusion that conflict will solve everything. But wars do not solve problems—they deepen them, while the wealthy grow richer and the poor bear the cost.
A man for the people, as MAGA believers claim Trump to be, would talk about plans to increase wages and lower prices. Instead, he incites war against peaceful neighbors to seize land rich in resources for himself and his allies. A leader for the people would focus on lowering healthcare premiums, offering the best education, and ensuring safety without the need for excessive weaponry. Instead, Trump and his ilk encourage citizens to arm themselves, placing them in harm’s way.
How do dictators kill their people? Through wars and diseases. But first, they dumb you down, take away opportunity, justice, and equality, and stoke your anger over problems they created. They fabricate enemies, convincing you that your troubles will vanish if you just destroy them. But the supply of “enemies” is endless—or so they want you to believe.
A true leader would focus on solutions that improve lives, not on creating enemies. They would present clear, actionable plans to raise wages, lower costs, and provide accessible healthcare and education. They would prioritize housing reform, consumer protection, and justice. Instead, we are faced with leaders who manipulate anger, suppress opportunity, and perpetuate division.
The time has come to reclaim the narrative. Citizens must demand transparency and accountability from those in power, especially tech moguls who wield disproportionate influence. We must strengthen democratic institutions and resist the encroachment of authoritarianism—whether it comes from foreign powers or domestic actors. Above all, we must unite in defense of truth, equality, and justice.
History has shown us the dangers of unchecked power. Today, we have the tools to resist, but only if we act collectively. The choice is ours: to be pawns in their game, or to stand together and demand real solutions.
