US President Donald Trump’s abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3 has emboldened him to proceed with the annexation of Greenland, a Danish-owned, self-governed territory, spelling the effective end of NATO and furthering Russia’s war aims in Ukraine, experts tell Al Jazeera.
“The move on Venezuela illustrates the Trump administration’s determination to dominate the Western Hemisphere – of which Greenland geographically is a part,” said Anna Wieslander, Northern Europe director for the Atlantic Council, a think tank.
“If the United States decides to attack another NATO country, then everything would stop – that includes NATO and therefore post-World War II security,” Frederiksen said.
“The pandering to Trump has been an element of our strategy over the last year, leaving observers hoping, but not entirely trusting, that another element of the strategy is preparing urgently for the final rupture with the United States,” Giles said.
Giles told Al Jazeera that Europe’s best option was to place a military deterrent on Greenland now, believing that putting allied troops in the Baltic States and Poland after 2017 deterred a Russian attack there.
So you believe the Trump zero sum game view of the world? Wealth is entirely about resources, and people don’t create value?
I did not say anything like that in my comment above. That’s an entirely new sentence.
The image you posted portrays large pits in some places in the world, with large stacks of resources (gold presumably) in other parts of the world.
That is how Trump understands the world. You seem to think the same way.
What you’re both missing is the fact that people create value. Gold doesn’t actually improve people’s lives, it’s the products and services that are produced by people that make your life better. Your understanding of economics is out of date by about two and a half centuries.
