Greenland, US, and Europe
We all need to develop a concrete strategy to bring the US in full support of recognizing national boundaries and sovereignty. I believe it can be done, but it will require fresh thinking and concrete plans to do this state-by-state in the US. Absorb some pain en route and plan toward success in the months ahead.

I hope the EU decides to take this course in the hours ahead.
