I've been following the Greenland/Canada threats but hadn't seen these particular clips. It's all so anxiety-inducing. My theory is that the people managing Trump know that the US is not going to be getting richer by bringing steel factories back to the US, as Trump once campaigned on, nor through tech, which is topping out. Objectively, the only (terrifying) solution is to become richer by acquiring more resources, which is also their main interest in any Ukraine peace deal. It makes my head spin.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Betty. The unsettling situation is worrying many of us. In a perfect world, the UN Security Council would be agreeing on resolutions to rein in aggressors who threaten the sovereignty of other nations. That’s not going to happen when those who threaten or attack others have veto powers. My hope for the United States is that the majority of the people, who I don’t believe want a war with their neighbours, will force the government to choose a more intelligent, dare I say sane, solution to improve their economy and the lives of their citizens.
