Fox News senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane made it plain on America’s Newsroom that the Biden-Harris weakness in foreign policy is being tested on two very different fronts: a resurgent, aggressive Iran and President Trump’s unapologetic push to secure Greenland for American security interests. Keane warned that Iran must be deterred decisively, and the president’s Arctic focus is no flight of fancy but a sober strategic calculation to protect North America.
Keane’s message on Iran was direct and uncompromising: when an enemy repeatedly probes U.S. resolve, only credible costs will change their behavior. He urged declassification of evidence, diplomatic isolation at the U.N., and targeted military options short of all-out war — the kind of disciplined strength conservatives have been demanding for years.
American patriots should applaud a president who lays down clear red lines rather than whispering sweet nothings to tyrants. Reports that the administration has told Tehran to take threats “dead serious” and signaled the full toolkit — sanctions, coalition pressure, and military options — reflects the seriousness Keane says is required to protect our interests and the world economy.
On Greenland, the president’s critics in the coastal elites and in Brussels want to make this a sideshow, but they betray ignorance of strategic geography. The Arctic is rapidly becoming the new high ground, and Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland — with the White House openly treating acquisition as a national security priority and even saying military options remain on the table — is exactly the kind of bold thinking that secures America’s future.
This isn’t land-grab bravado; it’s common-sense defense policy. China and Russia are circling the Arctic with infrastructure and influence, and ceding that space to hostile powers because of liberal squeamishness would be a dereliction of duty. If you cared about keeping American soil and supply lines safe, you’d back a president who treats the Arctic the way wartime leaders treated chokepoints.
Keane also reminded viewers that building an Arab coalition and tightening sanctions are prudent steps that must accompany any credible military deterrent, the kind of whole-of-government strategy Democrats talk about in platitudes but have rarely executed. Hard power paired with smart diplomacy is what changes behavior abroad; appeasement only emboldens Tehran and gives Beijing time to entrench itself in the Arctic.
So here’s the bottom line for hardworking Americans: we either have leaders who will defend American interests with clarity and resolve, or we accept a weaker, more dangerous world. Gen. Keane laid out the path of strength — and patriots everywhere should demand no less from their leaders, whether it’s holding Iran accountable or securing Greenland as an American strategic asset.
