Stephen Miller afferma che gli Stati Uniti hanno il diritto di prendersi la Groenlandia: “Viviamo in un mondo, nel mondo reale, Jake, che è governato dalla forza, che è governato dalla forza, che è governato dal potere”, ha detto. “Queste sono le ferree leggi del mondo dall’inizio dei tempi.”

>Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Trump, asserted on Monday that Greenland rightfully belonged to the United States and that the Trump administration could seize the semiautonomous Danish territory if it wanted.
>“Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland,” Mr. Miller told Jake Tapper, the CNN host, after being asked repeatedly whether he would rule out using military force.
>The remarks were part of a vocal push by Mr. Miller, long a powerful behind-the-scenes player in Trump administration policy, to justify American imperialism and a vision for a new world order in which the United States could freely overthrow national governments and take foreign territory and resources so long as it was in the national interest.
>“We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” he said. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
>Mr. Miller made his comments after his wife posted an image on social media over the weekend suggesting that the United States would soon take control of Greenland, and as Mr. Trump has renewed his own push for the island. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark urged Mr. Trump on Sunday to “stop the threats” to annex Greenland, in effect attacking a NATO ally. The United States’ taking Greenland by force would rip apart the central agreement that underpins the NATO military alliance, of which Denmark and the United States are both founding members. Under that treaty, an attack on any member is treated as an attack on all members. Mr. Trump has previously said he would not rule out using the military to take Greenland.
>Mr. Miller also echoed Mr. Trump’s intent to rule Venezuela and exploit its vast oil reserves after a U.S. raid seized President Nicolás Maduro and his wife from Caracas. Even some of America’s staunchest allies have criticized the raid, and the U.N. secretary general, António Guterres, said the raid had violated the U.N. charter. “The United States of America is running Venezuela,” Mr. Miller said, dismissing international treaties enshrining a nation’s right to independence and sovereignty as “international niceties.” (What exactly is meant by “running” Venezuela is a matter of some dispute; Secretary of State Marco Rubio has shied away from the descriptor — even as Trump insists that the United States is very much “in charge” of Venezuela — and Speaker Mike Johnson, who has vigorously defended the military operation, has maintained that the United States is not engaged in military hostilities or an occupation.)
>Mr. Miller’s language echoed a dark history of the United States’ governing weaker, smaller states in Latin America by flexing its military might. Mr. Miller asserted that a U.S. military blockade of the South American country of 28 million people would give the United States control of Venezuela. “We set the terms and conditions,” Mr. Miller said. “We have a complete embargo on all of their oil and their ability to do commerce. So for them to do commerce, they need our permission. For them to be able to run an economy, they need our permission. So the United States is in charge. The United States is running the country.”
>Senator Bernie Sanders, independent of Vermont, denounced Mr. Miller’s remarks soon afterward, saying on CNN that “Mr. Miller gave a very good definition of imperialism.”
>“Trump has made it clear he wants to take Venezuela’s oil,” he added. “Last I heard, this is what imperialism is all about. And I suspect that people all over the world are saying, ‘Wow, we’re going back to where we were 100 years ago, or 50 years ago, where the big, powerful countries were exploiting poorer countries for their natural resources.’”
I would say this is the time to reach some hard conclusions, but that time was yesterday.
Let’s keep buying F35’s and pretend this will all blow over.
Dude would get the shit kicked out of him in a heartbeat if he wasn’t shielded by institutions and norms.
If trump invades Greenland does Scotland have the ability to seize donny’s golf courses? Can the EU freeze US assets and sanction US officials?
Okay, who bullied this guy and stole his lunch money?
Gobbels speaks.
Always fascinating to see the flappiest of noodles talking about strength…..
Stephen Miller only succeeded because Trump let him be in his circle of power. Otherwise he would never achieved anything.
To explain why Miller succeeded:
Trump is the other extreme (negative) of political leadership:
Most good state leaders understand that to make themselves succeed, they need competence and reliability in their staff and subordinates to get things done. The success of subordinates reflects positively on leadership. After all “I selected them to succeed, and they did.”
In the opposite we have ego. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing must be greater than dear leader. We see this is China, Russia, North Korea, and now the US.
This personality trait does not select subordinates for professionalism and capability but loyalty to the cause above all else. Sycophants if you will. This inevitably damages the structure of society since they are not interested in serving the country but their own self interests.
Note that this does not mean the democratic party in the US is magically altruistic. Nancy Pallocy proved she is more interested in retaining her position and enrich herself (her stock trades have their own public trackers since they beat the SMP 500 by a stunningly large margin) despite being an absolutely withered crone.
This ghoul spews all his nonsense while living on a military base and protected by the Secret Service
Miller is a dead eyed ghoul, he needs to be on a very short leash, but he’s in a very senior decision making role, which is scary but explains a lot.
Fuck American imperialism. Time to go through all products you use and find European alternatives. Hurt them where it hurt them the most, in the next quarter results.
Displaying there a kindergarten level of understanding of geopolitics and psychology.
I could punch my elderly neighbour in the face and take her car because I’m bigger and stronger than her. But I don’t because having friendly neighbours looking out for me is preferable to being hated by them and having my property constantly vandalised.
It’s like that Simpson’s episode where the mensa folks get elected except it’s the low iq incels and wannabe bullies instead.
Stephen Miller should be defendant no.1 at The Hague.
I find it hard to believe he’ll keep that sentiment when he is at the recieving end of that “iron law”
What the fuck?
Fascists and nazis running the US.
Step outside the camp gates, Miller. Let’s put your words into practice.
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. – I. Asimov
That is basically the exact same sentiment Hitler expressed in Mein Kampf, when he talks about “the right of the mighty” to conquer what they want.
I don’t think the US realise the dangerous game they’re playing here.
It goes much deeper than people think, sure the US is the de facto military power but part of the reason thats happened is because they got basically every major power on earth to ‘agree’ that it was the right way to do things and that they didn’t need a military.
The US military becomes a lot less dominant if we see a resurgence of military spending and militarisation in Britain, France, Germany, Japan, etc..
What an abhorrent evolutionary dead-end. What a misfire in the fabric of cosmos and natural selection as far as intelligent life is concerned.
A man who aspires humanity to the life of a resource-consuming insect despite its intelligence and hard-won history of material and moral progress.
A traitor not only to its country and allies, but also a literal traitor to the meaning of being a human being.
Time to sell off all those American bonds.
Trumpism and this budget goebbels forget that Europe isn’t Venezuela
Exactly this thinking led to World War 1 and World War 2.
After WW2, the general consensus was, that we can’t continue that way because humanity would likely not survive a World War 3.
Another iron law: all empires fall eventually and the USA is collecting a lot of enemies right now.
Ya Americans. Do it. You know you have to do it. There is no other way.
Whoever does it, will be immortal, in the history books.
I don’t know why but I’m reminded of Joseph Goebbels. A fascist, “übermensch”, and a weak little rat 🐀
Talk is always toughest coming from those who have never experienced real military conflict. Put a rifle in Miller’s hands and send him to the front lines then you’ll see him fold like a wet paper doll.
I look forward to reading this fuckers obituary.
In all seriousness: Americans, you need to rein in your domestic fascists. Get your fucking shit together.
In other words: FASCISM in its purest form! This is the definition of fascism.
Your ancestors would be so so ashamed of what the US has become.
Fuck Americans for voting for this
Temu Goebbels should shut the fuck up
Remember that foreign powers spread propaganda, and one classic propaganda point is that you are powerless, and that you have no choice but to give up because you can’t do anything. Remember who wants Europa to be disunited and questioning. Remember who wants us to argue as they infiltrate our society with bots and propagandists.
If Europa is attacked, we will never surrender. Any suggestion to the contrary is false.
I’m so fucking exhausted by America.
