US Media Wonders 'Who Could Trump Invade?' - Ignores Who Biden Invades Today
The Independent, among other outlets, has discovered the thrilling concept of pondering future US military actions under a hypothetical Trump presidency. Their article lists Greenland, Cuba, and Colombia as potential targets, based on vague past comments. This feverish focus on what *might* happen conveniently overlooks the US's very active, very present military roles globally. While fantasizing
about Trump invading Greenland (a territory of Denmark, a NATO ally, mind you), they ignore the US military presence in 150 countries, the daily drone strikes, or the ongoing support for Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen, which has killed hundreds of thousands. It's almost as if the corporate media prefers to warn us about future bogeymen who might disrupt the 'rules-based order' (read: US hegemony) in
places like Greenland, rather than scrutinize the current administration's very real, very bloody interventions. Perhaps Trump's rumored plan to *buy* Greenland was too subtle for a headline; an actual invasion would certainly sell more clicks. The problem isn't US presidents considering invasions; it's the media's selective outrage over who, where, and when they occur.
