After an internal BBC leak revealed that its staff was directed to obfuscate the lawless kidnapping of Venezuela’s President, the BBC is now depicting Trump’s threats to invade and annex Greenland as “US Greenland Plans” and “using the American military to acquire Greenland”.

Coming off the humiliating apology BBC bosses wrote to Trump for their editing of his January 6 speech, Trump’s lawsuit has easily cowered these "journalists", who bow so low to power.
Now, they launder his every word.

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state.
The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

Donald Trump won’t stop with Venezuela.
Cuba, Greenland, Colombia and Mexico are already in his crosshairs.
This is U.S. imperialism, plain and simple — and it must be resisted in all its forms.
