There is little to say about Greenland that has not been said and repeated. It is a sovereign land governed jointly by the people of Greenland and Denmark. But this of course means nothing to the geriatric child who is America’s incumbent president and who I will henceforth refer to only as Strangelove, since he is painfully suited to caricature. He wants porridge and pudding (and the Nobel Peace Prize) served to him in bed. Vex this infantile pettiness, and he will order his ravenous backyard dogs to eat you alive. A child has no pity, only cravings. America brought this spoiled brat upon itself and now the broken world at large must reap the winter whirlwind. As my usually mild-mannered author friend told me recently, “America is done.” First is also last, at least among those postwar Europeans who once deeply embraced the symbolism of the Statue of Liberty.
