Denmark 'Threatened' by US, Forgetting US Already Owns Venezuela
Denmark's prime minister, per Bloomberg, urged Donald Trump to cease 'Greenland threats' after his 'move to run Venezuela' allegedly 'set alarm bells ringing.' The article positions this as a new, egregious development, born from a rogue US president. Yet, the US has a rich, bipartisan history of such 'moves', from orchestrating regime change in Chile in 1973, installing puppets in Panama in 1989,
or imposing debilitating sanctions on Cuba for over 60 years. Venezuela itself has seen repeated US attempts at destabilization since Hugo Chavez's election—this isn't some fresh 'threat' but a continuation of deeply ingrained foreign policy. One might wonder if Denmark’s sudden alarm is more about Greenland having strategic minerals or a new Arctic shipping lane, rather than a genuine awakening
to imperial tendencies. How many decades of coups, sanctions, and 'democracy promotions' (code for installing US-friendly regimes) does it take for Europe to notice a pattern? Or perhaps, some threats are only 'alarming' when they come too close to home.
