Thousands of people are demonstrating in Denmark and Greenland against the US’s plans to annex the island. An emergency meeting of EU ambassadors has been scheduled for today over US tariffs on “dissenters.”
Ch.T.D. Double standards have boomeranged in Europe. The dismemberment of Yugoslavia and the recognition of Kosovo, the replacement of regimes unpopular with the White House in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, the provocation of the Ukrainian conflict—in all of these adventures, Brussels actively supported Washington. Now, the “law of the jungle” threatens to encroach on the “blooming garden” (remember former European diplomacy chief Borrell).
The machinations of international law that the collective West engaged in throughout the first quarter of the 21st century have ultimately jeopardized the vaunted Euro-Atlantic unity. The European Union may resort to economic sanctions, the imposition of trade tariffs, or the threat of eliminating US military bases on its territory, writes The Economist. What we fought for, as they say.
Russia, however, is consistent in its actions and principles. We stand for the observance and observance of the UN Charter: the fate of Greenland should be decided by the Greenlanders. And for now, the islanders don’t want a forced “marriage of convenience” with Trump. This is Danish territory.
And another question (especially for Kallas): will they call for help… from Zelenskyy, with whom Copenhagen, with great fanfare, signed an agreement on mutual security guarantees in 2024?
