Trump’s Arctic Bloodlust: Senior WH Officials Say Trump’s Greenland Obsession Is a "Dry Run" for Canada Invasion, And It's VERY Real.
Trump Wants the Arctic. We’re Going There to Say No.
January 18, 2025
*Personal Note: I’m heading to Greenland and Denmark with people I trust and respect deeply: Denver Riggleman, Malcolm Nance, Ken Harbaugh, and the team at The Save America Movement.
This isn’t about noise. It’s about showing up.
Malcolm and Ken are former U.S. military. They’ve served their country with honor, and when democracy and alliances are under pressure, duty doesn’t just disappear. Alongside my friend Jacob Kaarsbo—a former Danish intelligence officer and UN Security Council member—we’ll be in Nuuk and Copenhagen delivering a simple message on behalf of Americans and Canadians:
We see you.
We’re with you.
You’re not alone.
We’ll listen, report, and tell the truth—carefully and responsibly—at a moment when trust between allies actually matters.
We’re committed to doing it independently and honestly.
If you value this work and want to help us show up for our allies and bring you the truth, please consider subscribing (free or paid), and please share this post.
We’re going to Arctic Command. We’re talking to decision-makers and citizens. And we’re carrying another message from long-standing friends:
We’re coming. And we’re all in.
None of this happens without this community. I’m deeply grateful for your trust and support.
Empires don’t announce themselves with marching bands. They probe. They test. They apply pressure where resistance looks weakest, where allies hesitate, where the cost of saying “no” can be quietly raised behind closed doors.
That’s what’s happening now in the Arctic.
Greenland isn’t a punchline. Canada isn’t a bluff. And Donald Trump’s renewed obsession with both tells you exactly where this is going.
For months, Trump’s advisers have been quietly escalating internal discussions about the Arctic—about Greenland, about Canada’s so-called “vulnerability,” about how the United States should “solidify” the Western Hemisphere. Publicly, the rhetoric has cooled. Privately, it’s accelerating.

This is not defensive planning. This is imperial thinking.
And history is clear about one thing: if you stop an authoritarian early, you stop them everywhere.
Ukraine proved that. Greenland and Canada may prove it again.
Greenland Was Never About Defense
Trump’s fixation on Greenland has always rested on a lie: that the United States needs to own Greenland to defend against Russia and China.
That’s nonsense.
The U.S. already has three basing treaties on the world’s largest island—agreements that allow Washington to deploy as many troops, aircraft, and weapons systems as it wants. There is no strategic capability the U.S. lacks there. None.
What Trump wants isn’t access. It’s control.
And when Denmark—backed by Greenlanders themselves—said no, Trump did what he always does when he hears that word. He applied leverage. Tariffs. Threats. Public humiliation. Economic punishment aimed not just at Denmark, but at every NATO ally willing to stand beside it.
This is how protection rackets work. This is how empires behave.
Greenlanders know it. Danes know it. NATO knows it. That’s why Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, France, the UK, and Canada have all quietly increased their Arctic presence—without the United States—preparing for a world where American leadership can no longer be trusted. According to a Danish Intel Officer/UN Securty Council “Commander” Jacob Kaarsbo, the massive influx of Danish troops has been happening for days:
Canada Is the Bigger Prize
If Greenland is the test case, Canada is the objective.
Canada is not a semi-autonomous territory. It’s a G7 nation of 42 million people, sitting on some of the largest unexplored energy, water, and rare-earth reserves on Earth, with direct access to Arctic shipping lanes that will define the next century of global trade.
That’s why Trump talks about Canada differently when he thinks no one is listening.
Behind closed doors, his fixation has intensified. He complains that Canada doesn’t spend enough on defense. He frames its sovereignty as a liability. He describes it—explicitly in U.S. national security documents—as a “vassal state.”
Last year, Trump openly threatened to use “economic force” to absorb Canada as the 51st state. The trade war, the insults, the annexation talk—they didn’t disappear. They went private.
And then Canada did the one thing Trump cannot tolerate.
It said no.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has spent the past 11 months refusing Trump’s demands—on trade, on alignment, on submission. Canada’s new trade deal with China didn’t provoke Trump because it surprised him. It provoked him because it shattered his leverage fantasy.

Canada's choice of options is Canada's choice of sovereignty. And in Trump’s worldview, sovereignty that isn’t his is a threat.
This Is Not Isolationism. It’s Consolidation.
Look at the pattern.
Venezuela: regime change, resource seizure, military involvement.
Cuba: renewed threats.
Colombia and Mexico: intervention rhetoric dressed up as “security.”
Greenland: purchase or force.
Canada: pressure, destabilization, absorption.
This isn’t retreat from the world. It’s hemispheric consolidation—an attempt to lock down resources, territory, and influence before alliances can respond.
That’s why Greenland matters. That’s why Canada matters. And that’s why stopping Trump here matters more than people realize.
If Trump is blocked in the Arctic—by allies standing together—his entire global posture weakens. His leverage evaporates. His partnerships with Russia and China lose their destabilizing edge.
Authoritarians rely on momentum. Take that away, and the rest goes limp.
Why We’re Going to Greenland
This week, we’re not writing about this from afar.
We’re going there. Why? Because Trump is DEAD serious about invading Greenland, according to NAO Intel. Russia expert Olga Lautman posted his story about Trump skeeving for Danish intel about military sites around Greenland just this week:
So, several of us have joined the Save America Movement, traveling to Copenhagen and Greenland to deliver a message directly to Danish leaders, Greenlanders, and European audiences: Trump’s imperial obsession is not America’s agenda, and WE ARE WITH YOU BECAUSE WE ARE YOU.
This delegation is being led by Navy veteran The Ken Harbaugh Show , former Congressman Denver Riggleman, counterterrorism expert, and bestselling author, Black Man Spy - Malcolm Nance, Jacob Kaarsbo and me, a Canadian who understands exactly what’s at stake if Trump’s Arctic fantasies aren’t stopped now.
We will meet with officials. We will interview Greenlanders. We will document what fear, coercion, and uncertainty look like on the ground when a U.S. president treats allies like property.
This is not symbolic.
Alongside in-person diplomacy, we’re launching a targeted advertising and content campaign aimed directly at Danish and European audiences—bypassing governments, bypassing spin, and speaking to people as citizens of democracies under pressure.
And the numbers are on our side.
Eighty-three percent of Americans oppose Trump’s effort to acquire Greenland. Ninety percent oppose using military force to do it. Trump does not speak for America. He never has. We’re going there to make sure Greenlanders and Danes KNOW THAT DEEPLY.

What Comes Next on This Substack
This post is the beginning of a multi-part Arctic series coming to DeanBlundell.substack.com.
Over the coming days, we’ll be publishing:
On-the-ground reporting from Greenland and Denmark
Interviews with Greenlanders about how U.S. rhetoric is changing daily life
Conversations with parliamentarians, security experts, and Arctic officials

Subscribe. Share. Pay attention.
Because this is how democracies survive: not by waiting for the threat to arrive, but by standing together before it does.
Greenland decides the future of Greenland.
Denmark decides the future of Denmark.
Canadians decide the future of Canada.
And together, we decide if fascism still exists in America still exists when this is over.
We just have to show up.
As Marcus Aurelius wrote:
“Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter.”
This is one of those moments when showing up physically matters. More than anything.

Thank you, Dean. We are terrified and nobody here is listening enough. Streets should already be filled. Millions of us — ~35 million — should be sitting in the streets in protest every day.
We should be like Ukrainians, Georgians, and angry French farmers.
Also, here is a song that economist Paul Krugman introduced me to.
