Aufrüstung als Sicherheit zu verkaufen, ist blanker Zynismus. Die USA treiben ihre Militarisierung bis 2027 auf die Spitze, ein Griff nach der absoluten Weltmacht auf Kosten von Frieden und Menschenleben. Aber auch Russland und China heizen seit Jahren die Rüstungsspirale an. Weltfrieden entsteht nur durch Abrüstung, Diplomatie und den Mut, die Profite der Rüstungskonzerne nicht über das Leben der Menschen zu stellen.

"He spits on the New Testament and the Ten Commandments, themselves products of hard-earned lessons about right and wrong if also for believers the instructions of God to the human race."

"He rejects the hard lessons learned by Europeans in centuries of war between absolutist states and rival religious factions in which ordinary people were frequently put to the sword or burned alive, famine and plagues went unchecked, and prosperity was squandered."

"[Stephen Miller] rejects the moral awakening of the world to the harms of imperial overrule based in racial hierarchy and unearned civilizational arrogance, to the bitter outcomes of unashamed plunder and theft."

"German Bundestag Member Roderich Kiesewetter: 'The current threat situation for Greenland is far more than a bizarre episode by Trump. It is a warning shot for all of us. Anyone who has so far understood Trump’s slogan "Make America Great Again’" merely as an economic battle cry has fundamentally misunderstood it.'"

"We are standing at the threshold of World War III.
If the United States moves to seize Greenland by force, NATO will fracture. What follows will not be a diplomatic fallout that will result in a chain reaction of military escalation, drawing in global power blocs until the term 'world war' is no longer theoretical.

@DIMR_Berlin sind Verträge für die grossen und mächtigen überhaupt noch das Papier wert wo es aufgeschrieben ist.
Warum sonst, kann ein Präsident einen anderen entführen und vor Gericht stellen (unabhängig davon, das es einen Haftbefehl gibt)?
Und wer fragt schon, einen ältere Person, ob der Behindertenparkplatz überhaupt seinen Namen verdient? Vom Rollstuhlfahrer ganz abgesehen.
Ganz einfach, weil er es kann, und niemand traut sich ausser mit heißer luft dagegen zu halten.
"Putin's reasoning, according to witnesses familiar with the proposals, is simple: if Trump would agree to disengage in Ukraine, Putin would agree to give Trump control in Venezuela. Each country is in the other's 'backyard,' the story went, so if Trump got relief in his backyard, Putin could expect reciprocation in his."

"An investigation by America 2.0 has revealed that Vladimir Putin has been attempting to influence Donald Trump to seize both Venezuela and Greenland since at least 2017. The effort, rooted in Putin's ambitions in Ukraine, hinged on American embrace of the Monroe Doctrine, the 1823 policy framework that focused American influence within the Western Hemisphere."

"Nearly a year ago, I heard an American woman tell a large room full of people that the recently inaugurated US president was going to bring about world peace. Implying that she had special links to the new administration, she explained that Trump, Putin and Xi Jin Ping were going to divide the planet into three spheres of influence."

"That post-war bargain held for decades not because leaders became more kind, but because breaking it was understood to be catastrophic to humanity. War between major powers didn’t disappear – it was constrained, contained, laundered through diplomacy and proxy conflict rather than open conquests.
That restraint is eroding before our eyes."

Julie Roginsky sees what Trump has just done as "the first clear salvo of World War III":
"It is a geopolitical declaration that the United States claims not just security prerogatives, but territorial and economic dominion over an entire hemisphere."

"Watch the frothing blood lust and madness of Stephen Miller on CNN last night. I know its hard to watch him but you need to see this. At one point he says:
'Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO.'"

"Trump’s domestic and foreign policies — ranging from his attempted coup against the United States five years ago, to his incursion into Venezuela last weekend, to his current threats against Cuba, Colombia, and Greenland — undermine domestic and international law. But that’s not all.
They threaten what we mean by civilization."

"Trump just gave Putin and Xi permission to redraw the map ... The global order, or all of its weak points, flaws, quirks, and injustices, has kept us out of a major-power war since 1945. A shake up in this system of alliances could lead to a rejiggering of economic alliances, military alliances, and, says Brian Daitzman of The Intellectualist, World War III."

"It is a concept that eschews morality and values, kicks international and domestic law to the curb and invites disaster for the U.S., our neighbors and the world.
It is the same thuggish, blood-soaked approach to the international relations that guided Hitler, Stalin and virtually all of the great monsters of the past."
