Sen. Ted Cruz laid it out plainly on Hannity: Greenland matters to American national security and the idea of a negotiated acquisition is not a fringe fantasy but a sober strategic option worth discussing. His bluntness is refreshing in a moment when too many Washington types dance around the hard choices our country faces.
The Arctic is no longer a backwater; it is a central theater in the great-power competition with Russia and China, and Greenland sits at the heart of it. From missile trajectories to rare earth deposits and shipping lanes, the island’s geography and resources make it a national-security imperative for any country that intends to remain the leader of the free world.
If you think surrendering strategic ground is a recipe for peace, think again — that is exactly how rivals expand influence while America dithers. European leaders and some elites have rushed to attack the idea as reckless, but their reflexive defense of the status quo ignores the reality that hostile powers are already sniffing around Greenland. This is not grandstanding; it is about preventing a strategic disadvantage that could last generations.
The administration has been straightforward: all options remain on the table, and diplomacy is the preferred path, but a willing negotiator must never be naive about coercion from rival states. Cruz’s emphasis on negotiation — not instantaneous military coercion — is the responsible conservative posture: protect American interests, but do so with legitimacy and strength. That dual approach keeps us safe without needlessly burning alliances that still matter for broader security.
Meanwhile, Washington’s critics who squawk about “land grabs” conveniently forget that strong nations have always used diplomacy, investment, and yes, leverage to secure vital interests. Conservatives should be clear-eyed: defending our homeland and workers means securing resources, choke points, and forward bases so our sons and daughters never have to face adversaries operating from our doorstep. If that requires tough bargaining and clear resolve, then so be it.
Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who put national security and prosperity first, not performative apologies to global elites. Congress should engage this debate seriously, and patriots across the country should demand policies that keep America dominant in the Arctic and beyond. Let’s stop apologizing for strength and start backing leaders who will actually defend our country.
