Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism

I understand Tusk. I do. He pretends to be crazy.

me too. i understand him as well Crow.

Not only you, most Poles understand him.

I see the imperium still wants to invade and annex Greenland, Denmark felt the need to remind its master it wasn't happy. The pathetic response from European leaders to America's war on Venezuela can only encourage this colonial attitude. But hey ho they prioritise trade deals over their own credibility.

Forget about Venezuela - will they at least stand up for Denmark - their own member state?

I just read Trump's statements on Greenland that you are referring to - so now I'm curious what Kaja Kallas and team will say.

Remember it's very early days. Kneejerk responses are unhelpful, especially as there's little indication about the popular feeling in Venezuela or what will happen over the next few weeks and months.


Let's hope they will.

The law is for everyone or it's for no one. The gutless leaders responding should remember that especially when the imperium is coming for one of their own.
She will say nothing of substance no matter what happens, an empty vessel.

It's been in the works for decades.

And responses to something as serious as this need thinking through, hence most world leaders being cautious until more is known.

The US should pay Denmark off. After all, it is a colonial island; they don't need it. They wouldn't even be able to defend it if some serious military power wanted to take it. Why hang on to this?

It's up to them. Not the yanks. They don't get to decide.

And most of the people who live there are either happy with the status quo or want to move towards full independence.

If they wanted to become the 51st state, they are capable of saying so.

We should just take it...

Don't like it? See the ICC.

Yeah.... behave just like Russia does.... that is what you like isn't it?Dictatorship.

That is the problem with America's attack on Venezuela, I'm not saying it is wrong, but Venezuela was a threat to The USA and Russia claimed that Ukraine was a threat to them.So,this act legitimises Russia's attack on Ukraine.

They are worse, they removed more democratically elected governments than any other state.

Finally...it's clicking...the world according to the Rule of the Big Fist...

Superpowers don't need vassals' approval.


So the fvck what? There was a time to remove democratically-elected Hitler.

Wow Milo! Your neurons are beginning to activate, and make connections!

Now take it one step further - and show how Venezuela "threatened" America. Please?

Did it threaten America simply through being poor and bleeding millions of people - thousands of which ended up as illegal immigrants in the USA? In this case - why was Mexico not attacked - because we know it contributes much more to illegal migration?

Did it threaten America through smuggling fentanyl into the country? Has anyone demonstrated proof that any fentanyl came from Venezuela? So far we have seen proof only of marijuana and cocaine shipments. In this instance, we can again ask - why not Mexico - which is proven to be the major conduit for fentanyl flows?

Did Venezuela threaten America by applying to join a hostile alliance - such as Russia's ODKB? Currently, we can only state that Venezuela attempted to be friendly with countries like Russia, Iran, and China - but otherwise maintained its neutral status. It did not host any foreign bases. It did not ask Russia or China for ballistic missiles which could threaten American territory or ABM defense systems which could limit the efficacy of America's missile arsenal.

It seems that the primary crime Venezuela had committed was having the world's largest oil reserves.

That and drugs....its his drug dealing he gets charged with now in jail in the US.....reminds me about Pablo Escobar, the US back then also led a kind of inofficial but very brutal war to end that huge smuggling ring of his...

Look - Pablo Escobar and Nicolas Maduro are not the same.

Escobar was a private person. This other fella, is a head of state - with all that implies.

-//-

At least, Bush sent Colin Powell to the UNSC with some yellow powder in a vial - as proof. At least, Condoleeza Rice cited some intelligence indicating chemical warfare capabilities.

It was all a total sham - in the end - but they at least tried to go through the motions.

This indictment that was unsealed two days ago against Maduro is a legal document that any first year law student would tear to shreds. It's full of circular reasoning, and logical holes.

-//-

In case you don't know how US law works - an indictment doesn't mean that there is "incontrovertible evidence" floating around somewhere that Maduro is a "narcoterrorist" (whatever that means).

It means that prosecutors showed something to a grand jury - and it found probable cause - that's all. No defense was present - just the prosecutors. A famous US judge once said that a "grand jury can indict a ham sandwich".

My feeling is that this case against Maduro will collapse in court, and the US will send him back to live in Moscow or Bogota.

I don't understand how they will prove that a HEAD OF STATE had:

1) Knowingly

2) Intentionally

3) Directed or led...

... a criminal enterprise that meets the statutory definition of "narcoterrorism".

It's practically impossible. This is probably why Maduro is walking around and cracking jokes to DEA officers.

Nope....he was illegitimate, most countries didn't even acknowledge him as a head of state, since he faked the elections. (Thats why the EU reacted so tamely to his removal).

There is not much difference between these two druglords....both had masses of people under their thumb and armies at their command...and both were just ruthless criminals who made their bloody way to the top,...only the dimension of their power differed (abit)! *shrugs*

So you are saying, that all you need to bomb another country and kidnap their president - is to announce someone as "illegitimate" and get a grand jury indictment in Manhattan?

Does not that scare you?

No need to consult Congress? No need to convince the UN Security Council? Just the decision of a New York court?

This sounds acceptable to you?

What prevents China from declaring the leadership of Taiwan "illegitimate" and framing an attack on Taiwan as a mere judicial matter following a decision by a Beijing court? Unlike Venezuela, Taiwan has the added problem that most countries in the world do not recognize it as a sovereign state.

What prevents Russia from declaring whomever it doesn't like as "illegitimate" and working off the decisions of Moscow courts?

Hmm....It probably would....if it were any other country than the US, and if the kidnapped would be somebody elected, upstanding, innocent citizen...leader or not!

And no, just "declaring" someone something just isn't enough.....it wouldn't work with Germany's Chancellor Merz for example, Russia could declare him a Nazi and trying to kidnap him because of it....but people are not that stupid and gullible!

But right now, nope....quite the contrary....I think it is so much better than invading! :)

Can you supply a list of countries with "illegitimate" leaders ? If the criteria is being democratically elected then there are probably 70+ who don't meet that standard incluidng Putler, Xi and arguably King Charles and the Pope.

Some criteria:


....and I very much doubt people suffering under such leaders whould cry tears about their removal...just saying!

Where does this trust into the righteousness of the US come from?

You trust them to decide by themselves - who is bad and who is good?

The same people that send their Vice President to a conference in Germany, where he attacks the current government as "orchestrating a national suicide" and agitates people to vote for the AfD?

You trust the country that twice lied to you in the last 20 years about the evidence which they used to legitimize wars? Where are Saddam's chemical weapons stockpiles? Where are Gaddaffi's nukes?

They are lying about the fentanyl - knowing full well it comes from Mexico and China. They are lying about their concern for the people of Venezuela, instead giggling like little boys about "tremendous oil wealth".

Why do you trust somebody who is proven to be a liar on numerous occasions?

Do you enjoy it when someone pisses in your face, and calls it morning dew?

...must be my history of growing up in the GDR!

For us youth at that time the US was everything good and free compared to the gray sad unfree drab we were living in...I dunno, that somehow stays with you.

In case you have not noticed, that America is long gone - and it's not returning any time soon.

Even when various Bushes and Trumps get voted out, the Obamas and Bidens that come to replace them still don't revert to some pink unicorn 1980s version of American foreign policy.

Obama created Libya, which is a festering sore on Europe's belly - and the main conduit for refugee flows which strain European budgets. In case you forgot.

They supported the Islamic State in Syria, against the legitimate and internationally recognized government of Bashar Al-Assad - wrecking the country in the process - and flooding Europe with millions of refugees.

They supported the Muslim Brotherhood against "illegitimate" Mubarak - nearly wrecking Egypt in the process. Egypt managed to extract itself out of trouble, through the arrival of a military junta.

Thing is, I believe the Obamas and Bidens wouldn't had given a **** about the people suffering in the GDR and had rather sought cordial relations with the illegitimate gov in East-Berlin...all for world peace of course!

It had been the from the Left much hated Reagans and Thatchers back then who truly fighted the Soviets and their grip on the eastern bloc and their commie vasalls!

It's no wonder that it took someone like Trump (equally hated by the Left) to actually do something about the abuses in Venezuela, where the rest of the oh so moral finger pointer never cared about the peoples suffering but now screaming loudly about some international law....my arse!

Will you sing the same song when they come for you? It may be sooner than you think.

Yesterday - the wife of a top American official tweeted the below post. This is the wife of Stephen Miller, Trump's chief ideologue and deputy chief of staff.

It was concerning enough that the prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland immediately issued a protest.

No matter.

When asked about it later that day aboard Air Force One, here is what Trump said:

"We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it," he said, quipping, "I can tell you to boost up security in Greenland, they added one more dog sled."

Trump added that "the European Union needs us to have it".

How's that, BB? I guess Denmark is ruled also by a bunch of tree-hugging, Leftist "illegitimates"?

....and he is right!

Right now Europe is a ripe plum (already slightly smelling) ready for the taking! Without the US we would be helpless against any enemy....


Frankly I have no idea about that whole thing....I gather it will end up in some military base there, that will be about it.

No european country fears an US invasion or a removal of its legitimate leaders....with Russia thats another thing!

PS: How late is it over at yours, Bobko...don't you need to sleep?:)

They have sanctioned the judges of the ICJ for judging Netanyahu a war criminal.

A Canadian judge on the court arrived home and tried to use Alexa - but it was blocked. Her Mastercard and Visa credit cards don't work.

She can't shop online, can't use Uber, can't buy plane tickets, and can't book a hotel.

She sent her friends a small sum of money as a wedding gift - and that transfer has been indefinitely frozen. A relative was studying in the United States and her visa was revoked without explanation.

Here's her own words:

"The purpose is clear. They have said, basically, we're imposing these sanctions because of decisions you've taken in your role as a judge. So effectively, they are interfering directly with the independence of a judge," Prost said.

"I can't think of any other way to describe it but an attack on the independence of the judiciary and the International Criminal Court's independence as an institution, which is why I'm so interested in the public hearing this."

This is a Canadian judge, working for a court that the US doesn't even recognize - and this is happening to her.

Another judge now walks around with pockets full of change so he can buy his bus fares and train fares. He also tried to send money - for his son's tuition - and it was frozen.

Is that not intervention? Is that not pressure? Do you think you are somehow different from Russia, and that your world will be able to function if America starts to exert pressure?

Before it's too late, other countries - like the BRICS countries - need to create parallel infrastructure which will provide an alternative for those times when America decides you are "illegitimate".


I am in your part of the world these days.
