Not sure if greenlanders realise that the US-sponsored independence is a gateway from one imperial setup to the other over the natural resources that it has. The distinction here is in the colonial shift that will sunset their current social welfare. #Greenland #USA #Denmark

Continued thread

This US administration thinks in hegemonies and the #LawOfTheJungle again, talking about annexing #Panama or #Canada or #Greenland as it pleases, or basically trying to cede #Ukraine to #Russia and negatively affect #Europe.

Negotiating trade deals with each country individually follows this thinking, because it tilts the negotiation in favour of the US which introduced the tariffs in the first place. Which can introduce other leverages at will at any time. (2/3)

#Denmark is more than #Greenland. It is also the home country of the famous author #HansChristianAndersen, who not only wrote "The Little Mermaid", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Snow Queen" and "The Ugly Duckling" but also "The Emperor's New Clothes".

And to those of you who have forgotten: the Emperor was (and still is) naked.

There are science-fiction stories about a grave danger or threat from outside - a meteor, an alien attack, that finally unites Humankind in the fight against this threat.

This might be happening, right now. Only that the threat isn't from outside, but from a single country. Which is then excluded from all the happy uniting, but, well, not the rest of the planet's problem. We have our evil (orange) villain to unite against.

"Apparently, the Trump regime is preparing for two major blows to US foreign policy. They are making it clear they intend to invade and seize #Greenland and they are also silently preparing to attack #Iran with strategic bombers."

"But the heavy-handedness Trump displayed, all based on cockamamie calculations and deeply flawed economics, is as maddening as King George’s restrictive trade practices toward the American colonies — and at least the British monarch had the mitigating excuse of episodes of clinical madness."

"These tariffs are just absolutely bad news," said Vance Ehmke from the western Kansas farm his ancestors homesteaded in 1885. "They cause the prices for everything that we buy to go up, and the price for everything that we sell to go down. I mean, it is being economically drawn and quartered."
