🚨The White House Announced They Will Attack and Steal Greenland Live on CNN and Dared Anyone to Stop Them.

Stephen Miller calls sovereignty “international niceties,” and his wife, Katie Miller, posts a U.S.-flag Greenland map captioned “SOON.”

The last few days have felt like the world’s guardrails snapping in real time. First Venezuela. Now Greenland. And on national television, senior officials in the Trump administration are saying the quiet part out loud: the United States can take what it wants because nobody can stop it.

And if you think I’m exaggerating, listen to Stephen Miller’s own words in the video above.

Before I break this down, I need to ask you from the heart to click here to become a member and click here to join as a monthly, annual, or founding member. I keep this work free for the world—for readers in Gaza, for students in public schools, for families living in deep poverty, for elders on fixed incomes—because a smaller circle of people who can afford it chooses to carry the cost. Your support keeps this work free for them, and even for you when you can’t afford to pay.

Now let’s talk about what just happened on CNN—and why Denmark is warning it could end NATO.

Stephen Miller went on CNN and, when pressed about whether the U.S. might use military force to take Greenland, he said: “Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.”

That sentence is not policy. It’s a threat.

Then he laid out his worldview in the bluntest terms: “We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power.” And then: “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”

And this isn’t only rhetoric from a podium. The propaganda is already being mass-produced. Over the weekend, Katie Miller—Stephen Miller’s wife—posted an image of Greenland shaded with the American flag and captioned it “SOON.” That isn’t diplomacy. That isn’t policy debate. That is conquest messaging. It is the casual, social-media version of annexation—treating another people’s land like a product launch and daring the world to get used to it.

That is the philosophy of empire. It’s not even dressed up anymore.

And Miller didn’t stop at Greenland. He also repeated the administration’s Venezuela line—saying the U.S. is running Venezuela and dismissing sovereignty and treaties as “international niceties.” That phrase is chilling, because it tells you exactly what they think of international law: a decorative suggestion for weaker countries.

Then he went further and described how domination works: “We set the terms and conditions,” he said. “We have a complete embargo on all of their oil and their ability to do commerce. So for them to do commerce, they need our permission. For them to be able to run an economy, they need our permission. So the United States is in charge. The United States is running the country.”

That’s not “foreign policy.” That’s a colonial governor talking.

And if you want the clearest evidence that the world understands exactly how dangerous this is, Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has now warned that a U.S. attack on Greenland would cause the end of NATO.

She said the threats are unacceptable pressure—and she added: “I believe that he means it.” Then she said something every American should read twice: “If the United States were to choose to attack another NATO country, then everything would come to an end.” She warned that NATO and “democratic rules of the game” would collapse if one NATO country attacked another.

That’s where we are. A NATO ally is publicly saying: America is threatening the foundation of the alliance.

And here’s the part that should make your stomach drop: Denmark is not reacting to a hypothetical anymore. Denmark is reacting to the fact that Trump just demonstrated he’s willing to use force to seize leaders and dictate outcomes—starting with Venezuela—and now his top aide is saying Greenland is simply there for the taking.

Imperialism and colonialism—defined plainly

Let me define two terms in a way a teenager can understand, and a historian won’t roll their eyes.

Imperialism is when a powerful country uses force, threats, sanctions, or coercion to control weaker countries—their politics, their economy, their leadership—because it serves the empire’s interests.

Colonialism is when that domination becomes even more direct: the powerful country treats another people’s land and resources like property—to be taken, managed, and exploited—often with “security” and “civilization” as the cover story.

Now read Miller again. Read Trump again. Read Denmark again.

That’s what’s happening.

Venezuela was the test. Greenland is the headline. The doctrine is bigger than both.

The Trump administration bombed Venezuela, seized its president and first lady, and then Trump publicly said the U.S. would “run” the country until a “transition.” Then he said U.S. oil companies would move in and “start making money.”

That wasn’t a gaffe. That was a plan.

And now you have Miller going on CNN and saying the U.S. can seize Greenland because nobody will fight us for it.

That isn’t “defense.” It’s a territorial hunger dressed in a suit.

And it’s part of a broader ideological push inside Trump-world: a belief that the U.S. should be able to overthrow governments, take resources, and annex territory if it’s in “the national interest.”

In plain language: might makes right.

Family, if you’ve been feeling like international law has been collapsing in slow motion, you’re not imagining it.

Gaza taught the world the rules are optional for the powerful.

For over two years, the world has watched Gaza be destroyed. We have watched starvation be used as a weapon. We have watched hospitals attacked. We have watched aid workers killed. We have watched journalists buried. We have watched mass suffering explained away with PR language.

We have watched the U.N. issue statements while the strongest governments on earth supply weapons and veto consequences.

So when Miller calls sovereignty “international niceties,” he is voicing what the world has been forced to learn: rules without enforcement are theater.

And now that same contempt for the rules is being aimed outward—at Latin America, at the Arctic, and at anyone the administration decides is weak enough to bully.

What Miller said is also a confession about economic warfare

Miller’s Venezuela comments weren’t only military. They were economic.

“We have a complete embargo on all of their oil and their ability to do commerce.”

That’s the model: starve a country’s economy, make survival conditional on compliance, then call it “stability.”

That is collective punishment at the level of a nation.

And it has a dirty secret: it’s perfect for plausible deniability. Because when people suffer, the empire says, “It’s their leaders’ fault.” When collapse comes, the empire says, “We’re here to help.” When resources get extracted, the empire says, “It will make them rich.”

That’s colonialism’s oldest lie: we’re taking control for your benefit.

Greenland is not for sale because Greenland is not a product

Greenland has a people. Greenland has a government. Greenland has history and language and sovereignty. Greenland is not a mineral catalog. It is not a chess square. It is not an American acquisition.

And Denmark is right: if the U.S. turns NATO into a club where the strongest member can threaten the others, NATO becomes meaningless.

But the deeper issue is even more frightening than NATO: a world where the U.S. treats borders as suggestions and weaker nations as targets is a world where instability becomes permanent.

This is how the world gets pulled into chaos on purpose

When empire acts like this, it doesn’t only reshape the map. It reshapes behavior.

Other countries arm up. Alliances fracture. Proxy conflicts grow. International institutions lose credibility. And the “iron laws” mindset becomes contagious: if the strongest can take, others will try too.

That’s how you get a planet governed by force instead of law.

That’s what Miller is advocating, smiling into a camera, treating it like realism.

It’s not realism. It’s a disaster.

And it’s also deeply revealing that Miller can say these things on American television without the host shutting it down with the most basic moral question: Do you hear yourself? Do you understand what you are admitting? Do you understand what you are threatening?

A line has to be drawn

If the U.S. can seize Venezuela and talk openly about “running” it, and then threaten Greenland—then the only question left is: who’s next?

And that’s not paranoia. That’s the logical consequence of an administration whose senior officials believe the world is governed by force and that “international niceties” don’t matter.

I’m going to keep naming this clearly. I’m going to keep refusing the euphemisms. And I’m going to keep making sure this work stays free for the world—especially in a time when powerful people are trying to rewrite reality itself.

If you want to help me keep doing that, please click here to become a member and please click here to join as a monthly, annual, or founding member. I’m committing full-time to this work in 2026—more reporting, more investigations, more media—and that requires a real base of support and staff.

Love and appreciate each of you.
