“$8 million to promote L.G.B.T.Q.I.+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of” – President Donald J. Trump (04.03.2025).
If you think that the United States will be a reliable or a trusted ally in the next few years. Under President Trump there will be more conflict and more territories in question. Yesterday’s speech in Congress proves what sort of reign that is coming from the United States of America.
The Trump Administration and the Trump Foreign Diplomacy isn’t about peace. The wordings and how he talks about territories says it all. Not just his ignorance about other nations and mocking them like Lesotho. He doesn’t know about the Kingdom of Lesotho. However, that isn’t shocking, as nobody from there has given him a “deal” or let him build a tower in the 1980s in Maseru. If they did, he might have known about them.
Nevertheless, let us just look at these statements about Greenland!
“And I also have a message tonight for the incredible people of Greenland. We strongly support your right to determine your own future. And if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America. We need Greenland for national security and even international security. And we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it. But we need it really for international world security. And I think we’re going to get it — one way or the other, we’re going to get it. We will keep you safe. We will make you rich. And together, we will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before. It’s a very small population but very, very large piece of land and very, very important for military security” (Trump, 04.03.2025).
The ones knowing that Greenland is a part of Denmark. Denmark who happens to be a part of the European Union and NATO. That Greenland. We are seeing the huge island again in eyes of Washington D.C. That’s because of the rare earth minerals and the reports of possible extraction of just that. This is mining and wanting to control that. It isn’t about security or about defending North American hemisphere. That is the shield for taking over Nuuk and the whole Greenland. Not like the Republicans has cared or the GOP has had programs where this has mattered. We know this is just blatant warmongering and imperialism.
This is challenging an ally in NATO, which happens to be Denmark. The Danish are now waged war against and such. The U.S. will have to send troops and annex the Greenland territories. Is that the future of the U.S. and is this who the U.S. Government has become?
President Trump continues…
“To further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we’ve already started doing it. Just today a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple other canals. The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others. But others could use it. But it was built at tremendous cost of American blood and treasure. 38,000 workers died building the Panama Canal. They died of malaria, they died of snakebites and mosquitoes. Not a nice place to work. They paid them very highly to go there knowing there was 25 percent chance that they would die. The most expensive project also that was ever built in our country’s history, if you bring it up to modern-day costs. It was given away by the Carter administration for $1. But that agreement has been violated very severely. We didn’t give it to China; we gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back” (Trump, 04.03.2025).
We are seeing a President that is distorting and wanting to downgrade the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, which gave way to guarantees and securities of Panama Canal to Panama. That was to be done by the year of 2000. Now 25 years since that, the U.S. President is taking away the guarantees and the security of the agreement. This sounds like something Kremlin and Russia due to a nation they have agreements with. Now, President Trump is following the book of Putin. He does it to Panama and Putin did it to Ukraine.
U.S. Department of State archive says this about the agreement: “President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian Chief of Government Omar Torrijos signed the Panama Canal Treaty and Neutrality Treaty on September 7, 1977. This agreement relinquishes American control over the canal by the year 2000 and guarantees its neutrality. On May 4, 1904, Panama granted the United States the right to build and operate the canal and control the five miles of land on either side of the water passage in exchange for annual payments” (Panama Canal Treaty of 1977).
If you trust Trump Administration or Washington D.C., your time is up. Just like in the first term. President Trump froze funds and stopped to participate in signed agreements. Meanwhile blaming Iran and others of not following it. Which is really showing the two-faced diplomatic missions of the U.S. in regard to anyone else.
The ones believing in Trump or having peaceful actions in mind. They are completely wrong… and he is willing to wage war over the territories of Greenland and Panama Canal. Whatever agreements made in past doesn’t matter. What only matters are the whims of Trump and whatever ignorance believes he has for the moment. That’s what we are seeing.
This is naked imperialism. That all it is. Trump wants to be a colonial master and be a supreme ruler with massive territories. It isn’t for the betterment of the United States, and neither is it for the needs of the people of Greenland or Panama. No, this is about giving himself more power and have a bigger empire. Peace.
