Trump's Plan to Seize Greenland Would "Militarize the Arctic," Trample Indigenous Rights



Following the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the Trump administration has renewed its campaign to take over Greenland, which has been controlled by Denmark for more than 300 years. The White House says it's considering "a range of options," including the use of military force. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that if the U.S. were to attack Greenland, it would spell the end of NATO.

"Greenland is not up for sale," says Aaju Peter, a Greenlandic Inuit activist and attorney, who says Indigenous Greenlanders want their independence from both the U.S. and Denmark.

We also speak with analyst Pavel Devyatkin, who says the U.S. is "acting like a rogue state" and enacting a policy of "pure imperialism."

Waiting for them to show any concern for anyone outside their bubble oligarchs. Anyone in places they intend to take over are just people in the way.

Maybe it would help keep that story off the front page that popped up the day before the Venezuela invasion, about him being on the Epstein private jet much more often than previously admitted with the nubile young girls.
