Donald Trump said Friday his administration will take action on Greenland “whether they like it or not,” further escalating his rhetoric as he pushes to acquire the Danish territory for the U.S.
The comments came during a meeting with oil executives to discuss the prospect of doing business in Venezuela. Less than a week earlier, the U.S. military invaded the oil-rich South American nation and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro.
Denmark and its European allies in NATO – the military alliance co-founded by the U.S. – have pushed back, reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. But the Trump administration nevertheless says it is currently weighing a range of options on Greenland, including utilizing the U.S. military or cutting a deal to purchase it from Denmark.
If god was real, he would have granted the prayers of billions of people around the world all praying for tge same thing.
The West doesn’t believe in God, and if we did, we wouldn’t be as corrupt and immoral to collectively put men like Trump and every single one of his also bloodthirsty predecessors in power. Trump is nothing but the naked, shameless truth of the American empire and maybe the West at large. Also, he’s just a sign of the times not the one responsible for it (end of American hegemony, transition of power into the hands of oligarchs/anational groups of interest) and, as such, part of the world is more than okay with it. Don’t you think every victim of America would rather they focus their violence on their own citizens instead of the rest of the world as usual? 🤷
