U.S. NATO Allies State the Obvious: Greenland Belongs to Greenlanders
The audacity of U.S. NATO allies, as reported by CBS News World, to assert that 'Greenland belongs to its people' is truly staggering. One might wonder what took them so long, considering the 'formal position' of the White House, circa Stephen Miller, was that it 'should be part of the U.S.' This isn't just about Greenland; it's a chilling echo of historical land grabs across continents, where
Indigenous populations were—and often still are—mere footnotes in strategic power plays. The US, with its vast network of 750 foreign military bases, already demonstrates a perplexing penchant for 'owning' territories that clearly belong to others. After all, why respect international sovereignty when you can simply 'negotiate' for a new aircraft carrier parking lot? The media frames this as a
diplomatic dust-up, a quirky 'Trump wants to buy an island' story. Yet, it conveniently sidesteps the deeper imperial logic at play. NATO allies' 'concern' isn't for Greenlandic self-determination; it's about maintaining a fragile global order where *they* decide who controls what, not the people living there. It's almost as if the concept of 'belonging to its people' is a revolutionary ideal only
applicable when it prevents an ally from becoming too acquisitive, and certainly not when it challenges existing colonial structures or the lucrative business of resource extraction.
