The annexation threat is the elephant in the room and I actually don't understand why the writer is so afraid to mention it.

"When Canada was publicly framed as economically subordinate, the message landed with force." They started with "Trump threatened to destroy Canada's economy in order to annex the country" and turned the euphemism dial up to 11.

It is. At first I thought they were just oblivious, but now I'm thinking they don't want to anger the wrong people.

given the context (americans bloating up the greenland subreddit with liberal guilt posts), i am totally fine with this pissed off redditor. these people are showing up in their space wringing their hands and expressing that they're one of the good ones...if i were a Greenlander, i'd be annoyed af

Foreigners on the receiving end of Trump's threats never thought they were funny or trivial. I think the US mainstream is coming to understand why, but belatedly, and we have a right to be frustrated about that

This new piece by Nikhil Pal Singh is an absolute masterpiece that explains our current moment about as well as a person possibly could.

I would strongly suggest adding it to syllabi.
