Why Greenland?

That is a question for the ages.

People know that I follow international relations closely and have been asking me why Greenland is so important to Donny.

I wish I had an adequate answer for them but Donny’s positions have no rhyme or reason, at least to me.

Then I read something this morning that sums it all up pretty much if you think about it….

President Trump complained about getting overlooked for a Nobel Peace Prize in a new letter to Norway’s prime minister—and tied it to his wish to control Greenland:

  • “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,” Trump wrote to Norway Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, reports Reuters.

In a statement, Stoere said he has reminded Trump multiple times that Norway’s government has no sway over the independent Norwegian Nobel Committee, per the Guardian. The letter came after Stoere and Finnish President Alexander Stubb criticized Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on European nations who won’t back the US plan to take control of Greenland from Denmark. On that front, Trump further pressed his case:

  • “Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway?” asked Trump. “There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.” He added that the world “is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.”
  • Staffers for the US National Security Council have forwarded the letter to European ambassadors, reports Nick Schifrin of PBS. As for the peace prize, Trump has made no secret of his wish to receive the peace prize—and he accepted a second-hand one last week from Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.

This is retaliation for a prize snub and an infantile reason.

So he will punish Norway by stealing land from Denmark…..think about that bit of stupidity (let me know if I need to explain that statement)

He is still butt hurt because nobody will give him a prize he does not deserve, is that about it?

Besides if the US takes Greenland it will be a money sucking pit that we will regret for an eternity.

Damn!  This douche bag is so pathetic and juvenile that it is almost unbelievable….

And people voted for him….not saying about their mental state is itA?

Contempt For The Constitution

I am sure that anyone with a functioning brain has seen the contempt that Donny has for the US Constitution…..he has side stepped it on so many occasions and SCOTUS has been a great help to him in his assault of the Constitution.

Bernie Sanders has written a piece that lays out this assault very well….

Donald Trump has, once again, shown his contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law. The President of the United States does NOT have the right to unilaterally take this country to war, even against a corrupt and brutal dictator like Maduro. The United States does NOT have the right, as Trump stated this morning, to “run” Venezuela. Congress must immediately pass a War Powers resolution to end this illegal military operation and reassert its constitutional responsibilities.

Trump’s attack on Venezuela will make the United States and the world less safe. This brazen violation of international law gives a green light to any nation on earth that may wish to attack another country to seize their resources or change their governments. This is the horrific logic of force that Putin used to justify his brutal attack on Ukraine.

Trump and his administration have often said they want to revive the Monroe Doctrine, claiming the United States has the right to dominate the affairs of the hemisphere. They have spoken openly about controlling Venezuela’s oil reserves, the largest in the world. This is rank imperialism. It recalls the darkest chapters of U.S. interventions in Latin America, which have left a terrible legacy. It will and should be condemned by the democratic world.

Trump campaigned for president on an “America First” platform. He claimed to be the “peace candidate.” At a time when 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, when our healthcare system is collapsing, when people cannot afford housing and when AI threatens millions of jobs, it is time for the president to focus on the crises facing this country and end this military adventurism abroad. Trump is failing in his job to “run” the United States. He should not be trying to “run” Venezuela.

Bernie Sanders is a US Senator, and the ranking member of the Senate budget committee. He represents the state of Vermont, and is the longest-serving independent in the history of Congress.

I love Bernie I just wish there were more recall Progressives in the Congress….the ones we have can only do so much because corporate Dems fight the progress they seek.

Time to think about that if you are considering voting in November….be the change we need.
