Trump’s Greenland gambit: Letters | New York Post – Latest News
The Issue: Concerns over President Trump’s persistence in demanding the US annex Greenland.
Back off of Greenland, President Trump — I like what you’ve achieved for our nation, however whoever is advising you on the Greenland gambit should be fired instantly. (“Trump blasts EU bigs,” Jan. 21).
I perceive: Greenland is important to us strategically, however there are different methods.
Take the win with Greenland that’s on the desk, and keep away from alienating our allies and cheap Republicans who’ve supported you.
The left calls you a dictator and you’re taking part in proper into their fingers.

If Trump really needs Greenland for protection, and never for real-estate theatrics, a far more wise answer than sovereignty is a complete US-Greenland-Denmark protection treaty.
Europe ought to stop pretending Greenland’s strategic worth is a fantasy.
Trump ought to stop pretending possession is important to defend America.
A protection treaty would give each side what they need, and keep away from turning the Arctic into the subsequent theater of avoidable battle.

I wish to know why our GOP-controlled Congress isn’t appearing in our national curiosity proper now.
To the remaining of the world, it seems as if all of America agrees with Trump’s threats to take over Greenland and slap further tariffs on NATO international locations that don’t agree with him.
The demise of NATO and the peace it has offered for over 80 years is only one of the perils the world will face due to the useless silence in our halls of Congress.

Hopefully, Trump’s hostile Greenland rhetoric is just some misguided Machiavellian ploy to get Denmark to simply accept favorable phrases for more American bases there.
It’s time to stand in bipartisanship, and for Congress to have braveness and noble goal, and neglect egocentric politics. Rise up and say no to violence towards a peaceable nation.

Trump says he’s raising tariffs on eight NATO allies as a result of they rightly help Denmark’s sovereignty in Greenland.
Destroying our closest alliances to take Greenland — which Denmark lets us use freely already — is insane. Congress should say no.

The Issue: Bruce Springsteen telling ICE to get “out of Minneapolis” at a live performance in New Jersey.
I simply examine Bruce Springsteen utilizing his show to advertise what he thinks America ought to appear to be (“Bruce ‘Born to Run’ feds out,” Jan. 20).
I’ve a message for him: Shut up!
No one cares what you or another superstar thinks.
You reside in a bubble and have no clue what issues actual people fear about every single day, security being one. I’m sure not one of these people in attendance paid to listen to your opinion.
Do it in your own dime and time.

How courageous of Bruce Springsteen to scream out to his viewers that “ICE should get the f - - k out of Minneapolis.”
This gutless surprise, who dodged the Vietnam draft, will get to hold forth from his million-dollar gated mansion in Colts Neck whereas hardworking ICE brokers are simply doing their jobs.
If liberal idiots like Springsteen hadn’t backed a weak politician like former President Joe Biden, who failed Americans by having no immigration enforcement, the issue wouldn’t exist.

How large of Springsteen to inform ICE to get out of Minneapolis.
Then he goes home to his gated mansion in Beverly Hills, which in all probability has 24/7 armed guards.
What a stinking hypocrite.
