Trump’s imperial tantrum
Donald Trump’s latest attempt to seize Greenland shows that the president is willing to use US force to determine international borders, even at the expense of sovereignty.
Western allies – NATO countries included – publicly formed a united front, but private messages have revealed a more deferential approach to dealing with Trump.

That rhetoric was accompanied by an internet blackout and a surge in violence, with the death toll still unclear. Simultaneously, tensions between the United States and Iran escalated, raising the stakes in what has become one of the most serious political upheavals in the country in years.

Protesters face police across Iran
Protesters face police across Iran – video report
More than 570 protests have taken place across all of Iran’s 31 provinces, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported on Sunday. An internet shutdown imposed by the authorities on Thursday has largely cut the protesters off from the rest of the world, but videos that trickled out of the country showed thousands of people demonstrating.
Activists have said verification of reported human rights violations is difficult. However, one activist in Tehran told the Guardian they had witnessed security forces firing live ammunition at protesters and saw a 'very high' number killed, while other activists said the claims of police brutality were consistent with testimony they had been given

US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military, says White House
US President Donald Trump has been discussing "a range of options" to acquire Greenland, including use of the military, the White House said.
In a statement, the White House told the BBC that acquiring Greenland was a "national security priority".
It comes after Trump repeated over the weekend that the US "needed" Greenland – a semi-autonomous region of fellow Nato member Denmark – for security reasons.
The 19th century has returned in the guise of Donald Trump as during that time empire building and stealing a country's natural resources was seen as a projection of political, military and economic strength. In every case the affected countries and territories citizenry paid the real price though loss of rights under the rule of their colonizers. Even today mismanagement by the invading powers continues to have negatives effects. Additionally if America were to use its military power to take Greenland they'd be at war with NATO. Which was founded by America following World War II.

Explosions heard over Venezuelan capital Caracas amid US tensions
We roundly condemn this imperialist attack on Venezuela. The world is less safe and less free since Trump and the international hate movement began acting with impunity. We will always be on the side of international law and peace.
Her comments came after Spain’s socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said his government was “closet monitoring” the situation in Venezuela. He added:
Explosions have been heard and plumes of smoke are rising in the Venezuelan capital Caracas, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent there, amid spiralling tensions with the United States.
The Reuters news agency also reports loud noises were being heard in Caracas in the early hours of Saturday morning, according to witnesses.
The Associated Press news agency reported at least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard in Caracas.
