SIDNER: The president made clear that he might not cease at Venezuela. He talked about Colombia, he talked about Cuba, and really particularly, Greenland, saying he needs it. His closest advisor, Stephen Miller, speaking to our Jake Topper, stated, quote, clearly, Greenland must be a part of the U.S. Adam, what does this sign to you?
KINZINGER: That was one of the vital psychotic interviews I’ve ever seen, by the best way. I imply, it simply actually was disconcerting. Look at it. Obviously, Donald Trump has made it clear that the Western Hemisphere is America’s. It’s his, proper?
And this can be a hazard if you speak about, then what’s the way forward for Russia? Is he going to permit them to form of go into Ukraine? What does this say to China and Taiwan?
But the factor that issues me is, first off, Colombia. You might not love the present president of Colombia. I’m not an enormous fan of his, however Colombia is a historic ally of the United States. We have labored for many years in Colombia utilizing our particular forces, the Green Berets, to really go after drug cartels and drug producers there to nice success. That’s one method to flush that one fully down the bathroom.
And then Greenland clearly is a part of Denmark, a NATO ally. What occurs if we assault them? It is necessary for Americans to know the United States will not be restricted in any approach in Greenland. It’s not like we’ve got actual issues with Russian subs up there, so we attempt to do one thing in Denmark tells us, no, we will just about do no matter we would like in Greenland. So that is an train in satisfaction.
If we need to attempt to purchase Greenland from Denmark, that’s acceptable or no matter. But this concept of a navy takeover, it’s psycho. And fairly actually, it’s very harmful for the way forward for NATO and basic safety.
