The Biden era of timidity is over — the United States is once again thinking big and strategic, openly considering the purchase of Greenland to secure our Arctic flank and vital resources. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made it plain that this is not a pious exercise in global pleasantries but a serious national-security priority that must be addressed, not shrugged off. Americans who put country first understand that geography and resources matter in a world where rivals like China and Russia are eager to expand their reach.
The White House has been blunt: while diplomacy is preferred, the full range of options remains on the table, and commanders in chief must retain every tool to protect the homeland and our strategic interests. Critics scream about norms while our adversaries quietly build military and economic footholds in the Arctic; knowing whether you can act is how deterrence actually works. This administration’s willingness to speak plainly about options restores clarity to American foreign policy after years of wishful thinking.
Predictably, the Europeans and Greenland’s political class have put on their theatrical indignation, insisting Greenland is not for sale and warning about NATO’s future if the United States acts. Fine — let them protest while they watch Beijing and Moscow circle the Arctic for untapped minerals and shipping lanes. If Denmark cannot or will not secure Greenland against malign influence, the United States owes it to its own citizens to ensure those strategic assets don’t fall into hostile hands.
Even inside our own halls of power there’s a chorus of hand-wringers — a group of Senate Republicans have publicly cautioned against coercive options and urged deference to allies. Some of these voices are principled; others simply prefer the comfort of rhetorical restraint over the hard choices that protect American families. But make no mistake: caution is not the same as leadership when strategic rivals are moving with speed and purpose.
There is nothing unserious about securing the Arctic, its minerals, and the new shipping lanes opening with a warming planet; smart policy marries diplomacy with resolve, and buying Greenland would be a lawful, orderly path far preferable to doing nothing. This island sits astride missile and space-tracking lines and harbors rare earths crucial to defense and high-tech manufacturing — resources we should not let slip to foreign adversaries without a fight in the market or at the negotiating table. Americans who care about national security want leaders who prioritize strategic advantage over global popularity.
To any Republican who is reflexively embarrassed by boldness: remember why you ran — to put America first and keep our people safe. Weakness invites encroachment; strength secures peace. If the administration chooses purchase, compact, or other diplomatic mechanisms first, conservatives should back that; if tougher measures are needed because allies fail to live up to responsibility, we should have the backbone to stand with our commander in chief.
This debate is bigger than personalities — it’s about the future of American security and prosperity. Let the talking heads in Brussels tut and the coastal elites fret; hardworking patriots know that preserving American advantage sometimes requires bold, uncomfortable choices. Support leaders who remember a basic truth: peace is preserved by preparedness, and America must never apologize for protecting its people and its future.
