The response to Trump’s latest Truth Social post over Greenland should resemble that of U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull to the Japanese diplomatic note after Pearl Harbor:
”In all my 50 years of public service I have never seen a document that was more crowded with infamous falsehoods and distortions — on a scale so huge that I never imagined until today that any government on this planet was capable of uttering them,” said Hull.
And while unfortunately we have become quite accustomed to governments on this planet uttering falsehoods, as far as I can see Trump has now gone further in mendacity than any previous U.S. President. According to his latest post:
“China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it…Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable.
Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question.” Läs artikel
