I, along with millions of others in Europe, have been taking
more than a passing interest in Trump’s threats and rhetoric over the grabbing
of Greenland. It seems to my simple mind that
there’s an obvious parallel here with Putin’s excuse for attacking Ukraine, so
maybe it’s all just a matter of ‘anything-you-can do.’ No need to worry then,
eh?
But was it perhaps heartening to hear more of Trump’s ranting at Iran, threatening dire consequences if the regime continued to murder protesters? Maybe, but I don’t recall Trump raising any objection when tens of thousands of innocent civilians were being slaughtered in Sudan. And when the IDF were busy killing people queuing for food in Gaza, Trump continued to supply the killers with weapons.
Or am I being overly simplistic?
(Oh, forgot to mention Trump sending the might of the US military to grab poor little Venezuela’s oil reserves. Maybe that was justified on the grounds that American cars are bigger than everybody else’s and so need more gas. Fair enough I suppose.)
