Denmark's Greenland dilemma: Defending a territory already on its way out




 COPENHAGEN, Jan 10 (Reuters) - When U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets his Danish and Greenlandic counterparts next week, Denmark will be defending a territory that has been moving steadily away from it and towards independence since 1979.

President Donald Trump's threats to seize Greenland have triggered a wave of European solidarity with Denmark. But the crisis has exposed an uncomfortable reality - Denmark is rallying support to protect a territory whose population wants independence, and whose largest opposition party now wants to bypass Copenhagen and negotiate directly with Washington.

Trump, Pharaoh, and the Ancient Warning of Power


Throughout history, the Bible has used powerful stories to warn leaders about the dangers of pride, oppression, and hardened hearts. One of the most striking examples is Pharaoh in the book of Exodus—a ruler who believed his power was absolute, who dismissed the cries of the oppressed, and who resisted repeated warnings until the consequences became unavoidable.

Today, many observers around the world see troubling parallels between that ancient story and the way former U.S. President Donald Trump often behaves on the global stage. This comparison is not made lightly, nor out of hatred, but as a moral reflection rooted in Scripture and conscience.

Pharaoh’s Sin: Power Without Compassion

Pharaoh was not condemned simply because he was powerful. He was condemned because he used power to oppress. He enslaved a people, ignored their suffering, and mocked divine warnings. Even when signs and opportunities for repentance appeared, Pharaoh repeatedly hardened his heart.
