Donald Trump's threat to Greenland is an emergency, and it must be treated as one.
This is not just a territorial dispute. It is a deliberately chosen test of whether coercion can be normalised and then repeated to spread an empire in a way and for an aim that can only be described as evil.
This video sets out:
Why Greenland is symbolically massive.
Why diplomatic understatement now is denial of the political reality of this moment
Why propaganda and intimidation are central tools of authoritarian expansion.
Why democracies must regain moral clarity and plan countermeasures now.
The question is not “can we negotiate?” The question is: will we resist, and in time?
