"The end of NATO & a big win for Putin on a silver platter"...the likely aftermath of Krasnov attacking Greenland [View all]

"The invasion talk is probably Trumpian bluster to prod a negotiation to buy the island or end up with some other expanded U.S. presence. But even the suggestion of force is damaging America’s interests across the Atlantic," the board lamented.

A major problem, according to the editorial, is that the Trump White House, including presidential adviser Stephen Miller, refused to rule out military action, crossing a dangerous line. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen made it clear that if the United States attacked a NATO ally militarily, "everything will come to an end." That includes NATO itself.

To boot, it would give Putin a big win on a silver platter.

"But feuding with friends over Greenland is giving Vladimir Putin another wedge to divide America from Europe to his benefit. That means less U.S. leverage for driving a good and durable Ukraine settlement," the board warned.
