Lap Dog Miller amid Greenland push: Nations not entitled to territories 'they cannot defend'

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Friday doubled down on the Trump administration’s argument that acquiring Greenland is “essential” for U.S. national security.

“The new domain of international competition is going to be polar competition,” Miller told Fox News’s Sean Hannity, seeking to justify President Trump’s proposal to take over the Arctic island, a semi-autonomous Danish territory. “That is where more and more resources are being spent by our nation’s adversaries and rivals is the ability to control movement, navigation, lanes of travel in the polar and arctic region.”

He added that because Denmark “cannot defend” Greenland, citing weaknesses in their military and economy, that it should not have claims to the land.

“To control a territory, you have to be able to defend a territory, improve a territory, inhabit a territory,” Miller said. “Denmark has failed at every single one of these tests.”

Because they definitely aren't able to hold it, defend it, or control it.

He doesn't realize his malice does nothing to cover his stupidity.

who was threatened by chalk words in front of his house. So much so, he scurried away to a military base.

Stephen Miller couldn’t defend himself against children’s chalk.’

He is one of the main drivers and minds behind of the most dangerous actions Trump has taken.
