North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

With humility and our collective morals and values, we must extinguish the flames of hubris in US foreign and domestic policy, or "our arrogance will be our doom."

Trump’s threats to invade Greenland risk destroying NATO itself, but a little-known statute, 22 U.S.C. 1928f, could prevent him from doing just that.

The challenge is not recognition of Greenland’s importance; it is ensuring that security enhancements are strategic, sustainable, and allied-driven.

Would NATO have to defend Denmark if the United States attempted to seize Greenland? Article 5 suggests other allies are obligated to come to Denmark's defense if requested.

Trump’s foreign policy remains an inconsistent array of initiatives and adventures: bold in Latin America, bad in Greenland, yet often constructive on Ukrainian security.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that the West promised not to expand NATO is a myth—denied by Gorbachev, ignored by Yeltsin, and invented years into Putin’s rule.

The plan is a mess, but Ukrainians are right to try to work with the draft rather than reject it out of hand.

European militaries can adapt and operationalize civilian protection as they increase defense spending to protect themselves against Russia.

"International law, in its wisdom, makes such options legally available."

A European "reassurance force" for Ukraine risks being another notional "guarantee" offering little more than a false sense of security.

The United States and its allies can use the Taiwan model to make post-war Ukraine more secure without writing checks they cannot cash.

Getting to any deal between Ukraine & Russia will require the United States & Europe to stand by Ukrainians & stare down Russia's demands.
