„Trump’s second coming will reset world’s moral compass.“

„The US, red or blue, has for years ignored the rights of self-determination of smaller countries, flouted United Nations norms, incited rebellions and wars around the globe, bombed innocent civilians to oblivion (this does not include the tens of thousands killed by its copious supply of arms), and made a mockery of the post-World Wars imaginary of a world united by cooperation and fraternity.“

„Thus, the thunderstruck reactions to Trump’s desire to purchase Greenland are a bit rich. Trump has also cast covetous eyes on Canada and the Panama Canal. He justifies his claims: “for national security purposes”, “for the free world”, “for economic security”. The US bombed Iraq too for democracy and the free world.“
Trump is simply stating openly what has long been closet American policy.“

„We are witnessing in real time the takeover of governance by big capital. The neon-lit, fossil-fuel-guzzling, Big-Mac-munching neoliberal beast that the US unleashed is slouching towards its logical conclusion—full political power. The billionaires in Trump’s team are together reportedly worth about $400 billion, more than the GDP of many countries. And, when oligarchs rule the world, it would be stupid to imagine them worrying about the environment or trees or indigenous people. If Greenland is on Trump’s agenda, it is because its icy surface is known to hide resources like oil, gas, and rare earth minerals that big business craves.“
