Trump’s Greenland Gambit: The Next Frontier of American Empire?

The Latest U.S. Power Grab: Greenland

The House GOP’s newest shiny object is a bill to let President Trump acquire Greenland and fast-track it into becoming America's 51st state. The sponsor? Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.), who claims the bill would “authorize Trump to take such steps as may be necessary” to get the job done. Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, is home to just under 57,000 residents, and a Reuters poll found that about 85% of Greenlanders oppose becoming part of the United States, with only 6% in favor of annexation, underscoring the lack of local support for such a move. This U.S. Greenland power grab would represent an unprecedented assertion of federal authority over a foreign territory and could dramatically reshape Arctic geopolitics if it ever progressed beyond rhetoric.

ARCTIC ACQUISITION: President Trump's push for Greenland to become America's 51st state is taking another step forward, as GOP Rep. Randy Fine introduces a bill aimed at authorizing Trump to take the necessary steps to acquire the massive island:

Let’s call this what it is: federal overreach on ice. The bill gives the executive branch the power to maneuver a foreign land acquisition under the guise of economic aid and security, when what it really signals is another expansion of empire.

Strategic Resources or Strategic Control?

Proponents of the Greenland grab justify their intentions by pointing to the island's proximity to Russia and the critical minerals buried under its icy surface.

Yeah, minerals. That’s the gold rush of the Fourth Industrial Revolution—rare earth elements for your electric cars, semiconductors, and military tech. But guess who controls where it goes? Not free people, not markets—but the state. The same state that’s beta-testing programmable money under FedNow and prepping a surveillance economy that makes Orwell look like an optimist.

“They’re Poor, So We’ll Help”—Classic Empire Playbook

Fine argues that Greenland suffers from a high poverty rate and that Denmark “hasn’t treated them well.” So naturally, the U.S. should swoop in and save the day?

Spare me. That's the same logic used in Iraq, Libya, and every other misadventure that cost trillions, spilled blood, and left nations in ruins. If Greenlanders are truly suffering under Denmark's boot, the solution isn’t trading one master for another—it’s self-determination, not state adoption.

The Military Option: Not Off the Table

When the White House press secretary was asked whether military force was on the table to acquire Greenland, she refused to rule it out.

Understand what that means: boots on Arctic ground to capture territory from an ally, if negotiations fail. All in the name of “security.” No, this isn’t satire. This is how empires operate when their debt-fueled systems start to collapse. When fiat fails, the gloves come off—and so do the masks.

Constitutional Process or Political Theater?

The Constitution says Congress must approve a new state, and Greenlanders would need to vote and draft a constitution. Sure. That might slow things down. But once the federal machine smells resources, land, or strategic leverage, it doesn’t stop until the ink is dry or the troops are deployed.

This “process” is a sideshow. The real decision is already made: the state wants Greenland.

A Libertarian Anarchist’s Take: Buy It—Only If It’s Truly Voluntary

Here’s the nuance: If Greenland and Denmark genuinely want to sell—and their people consent freely without military pressure or economic coercion—then yes, buy it. Let private actors or voluntary associations work out deals, trade, even mutual defense. But don’t drag them into the American surveillance regime disguised as salvation.

No amount of resource wealth is worth expanding centralized control.

The Bigger Agenda: Digital Currency, Control, and Collapse

Why does this matter? Because it’s all connected. First Greenland, next your wallet. The state’s appetite for power isn’t limited to land—it’s also coming for your financial freedom.

Projects like FedNow are dry runs for CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies)—programmable money that can be frozen, taxed, and traced at will. Every new territory under federal control just adds another node to the surveillance grid.

This Greenland push isn’t about security. It’s about preparing for the post-dollar order. They're stockpiling assets while planning to trap you in a digital cage.
