There's a large group of Canadians who respond to Trump America's Venezuela assault by clutching their oily pearls and shouting "Pipelines!!".

‘Stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain’: Toronto sex store receives letters from U.S. Department of War
Not one, but two letters were sent from the Pentagon to a Toronto-based sex toy store, found inside the boxes of returned adult items that had somehow made their way to a U.S naval base in Bahrain.

The fact that she had to say this.... The Americans are going to threaten force and do a shakedown- a pretence of Greenlandic-Danish sovereignty while running everything. Resisting such gunboat diplomacy & the Trump profit machine is required.

Not wholly sure what she means by that, but I’m going to take the maximalist approach.

"The future of Greenland"? weak statement suggests there is an actual decision to be made. There isn't- unless the USA is threatening everyone to let it abuse, raid & conquer what ever it wants. We're getting to the point that the USA itself is the problem if they don't stop their leadership.

Canada has to walk a careful line with Trump-America. Can't come out and say anything condemnatory. Those who criticize Canadian government statements on Venezuala, Israel/Palestine, aren't paying full attention to everything. No one likes it, no one thinks it's right. It's realpolitik
