Have you noticed the EU suddenly appealing to international law when Donald Trump threatens to annex Greenland?
More importantly, can you notice the multiple layers of hypocrisy that surround such an appeal?
In case you’ve missed it, Donald Trump has been threatening to annex Greenland, and the EU has been expressing concerns over potential U.S. military aggression. Taking the history of just the past two decades, this should seem absolutely hypocritical.
In my article – on exactly this type of hypocrisy – recently published at Common Dreams, I write:
“Speaking at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, Emmanuel Macron said it was ‘not a time for new imperialism or new colonialism,’ a phrase that only Eurocentric thinking can produce, completely disregarding the US history of the past six decades around the world.
I invite you to read it for recent examples of the EU’s refusal to condemn military aggression worldwide. Just in 2025, it had plenty of chances to identify and condemn Israeli aggression against six countries, in addition to the U.S. strikes on Venezuela this January. Not only has it not condemned violations of international law, but it has also actively contributed to the U.S. military endeavors — to now find Greenland potentially becoming one of them.
This hypocrisy and lack of leadership are also what Professor Jeffrey Sachs so straightforwardly summarised in a recent interview below, which I invite you to watch in full here.
I close my article without making any predictions. Instead, I remind my audience that what we will see unfold now is whether diplomacy can curb the US’ imperial ambitions in Europe, which is something both military support and the EU’s lack of moral leadership have only emboldened around the world.
If you are from the EU, I want to take this opportunity to remind you to sign a citizens’ initiative to suspend the EU-Israeli Association Agreement (a framework governing EU-Israeli trade). Signatures and sharing are still very much needed! Find more information about it in my video below:

On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
On The Targeting of Children And The Yoga to Treat One’s PTSD afterwards (The Zionist Universe)
In one universe, the army of the occupier is deliberately targeting children and continuing its genocide. In another universe, the same soldiers are portrayed in a way to evoke our compassion. Can you guess which one is a Zionist universe?
