What’s the difference between Venezuela and Denmark? Apart, of course, from geography, food, the weather, and the fact that the Venezuelan government used to at least condemn the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians, in accordance with basic moral norms and international law, while the Danish leadership has, in effect, sided with the Israeli perpetrators, in accordance with the revolting way things are done in the “values-driven” West.

Fun fact: there is no real difference between these two countries, except US President Donald Trump wishes to see one. And at this point, it seems that he and his merry crew of hemispheric pirates are in the mood to treat Venezuela and Denmark in essentially the same manner: namely by doing whatever they want to them in the pursuit of raw materials and geopolitical location advantage. Trump himself has reiterated his belief that Washington “needs” Greenland. Which, in his world, is the same as “has a right to take.”

Stephen Miller, one of Don Trump’s famiglia’s many aggressive and sinister sidekicks, has claimed that Denmark’s Greenland really belongs to the US anyhow (totally false) and that there won’t be any military resistance if Washington seizes it (most likely correct). Miller’s wife Katie had already posted a map of Greenland covered in the American flag and the caption “soon,” even before her husband laid down the law – or rather its absence for the Americans: “We live in the real world, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power.”

That, fundamentally, Denmark is getting no more respect than Venezuela is ironic,........
