Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has boasted about annexing Greenland from Denmark – by military force if needs be.
Veteran journalist Ron Ridenour says, ironically, go ahead Trump, grab Greenland, take all of it.
It’s not that Ridenour is a fan of the new president or endorses U.S. imperialism.
Far from it, Ron Ridenour has been an outspoken critic of American imperialism for over 60 years as a journalist and author.
However, he sees value in the Greenland grab in that it exposes the fraud of the U.S. posing as a protector of NATO allies.
Ridenour has written extensively on what he calls Denmark’s abject servility to U.S. imperialism and NATO’s aggression. He points out that Denmark has been a loyal lackey in promoting the NATO proxy war in Ukraine against Russia.
Now, the U.S. “leader” (master) is snubbing Denmark’s so-called sovereignty over Greenland. The high-handed contempt of Trump towards Denmark is welcomed by Ridenour because it fatally corrodes the NATO alliance.
Ridenour says Denmark has no legitimate authority to rule Greenland, which Copenhagen has treated for centuries with racist colonial arrogance.
Trump’s ambition to annex Greenland for U.S. national security interests is an object lesson to NATO allies that they are ultimately dispensable.
If Trump goes ahead with the Arctic land grab, then the impact on NATO will shatter the illusions of the U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
