Greenlanders continue to make it clear they do not want to be American.
Speaking at a press conference alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Copenhagen, Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen made it abundantly clear that Greenlanders choose Denmark over the United States:
“If we have to choose between the USA and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU,” said Nielsen.
There is no ambiguity here. Greenlanders do not want to be part of the United States. The U.S. should respect that, and instead of threatening its allies, work with its allies to strengthen security in the Arctic.

If this piece left you clearer than it found you, that's the point. I write for readers who want to think past the week, to see the longer pattern beneath the daily story, and to come away steadier rather than more agitated.
That longer view gets built somewhere. On Patreon, essay by essay, I'm constructing The Long Work, a body of analysis meant to outlast the news cycle that prompted it. The readers there make it possible. No subsidies, no strings. The work answers to them.
