ADAM SMITH PRESSES HEGSETH: WILL THE U.S. TAKE GREENLAND & PANAMA BY FORCE?

During a tense exchange on Capitol Hill, Rep. Adam Smith pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on whether the U.S. military is preparing to seize Greenland or Panama by force. Hegseth dodged, insisting the Pentagon “has plans for every contingency,” but refused to draw a clear line.

In this breakdown, we go beyond the surface to unpack why Greenland and Panama matter so much to U.S. defense strategy — from the Arctic’s emerging role in global power competition to the Panama Canal’s critical importance in world trade. We’ll also explore the dangers of unchecked military planning, the history of contingency plans turning into real wars, and what this means for democracy, accountability, and the balance between military power and public consent.

The question is bigger than one hearing: how far should America go to defend its interests abroad, and who gets to decide?

Where do you stand — should the Pentagon quietly prepare for everything, or should Congress and the public draw firmer boundaries? Let’s talk about it.
