Short Post. What Has Been Overlooked in the Greenland Debacle? The People of Greenland
As President Zelensky has reminded us, conflicts are not about territories; they are about people.
Despite an invasion of international press, we read and hear far too little about the impact this crazy claim on Greenland has on its population.
What we have seen a lot of is speculation about the Orange Moron’s motives. “Is it about minerals, oil, security, or something else?” (It’s about “I want it.”) We have heard podcasts about what might happen if U.S. troops and allies stand face to face in Greenland. Some of the reporting is bordering on macabre entertainment.
But what about the people actually living on that island? “People, don’t sleep, children are afraid, and it takes up all of our time.” That aspect seems to have been lost in the cacophony surrounding this episode of the POTUS reality show.
Territories, resources and state interests are abstractions.
Conflicts impact people. That is what matters. Conflicts are always about people.
