Bangladesh, Jan. 13 -- Trumps absurdity seems to have no limits. Feeling emboldened after invading Venezuela, he feels he can now swallow another country at his whim. His eyes are now fixated on Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, under the pretext that it is necessary for American national security. The irony is that Denmark is a NATO member state that includes the US, which is the leading power in NATO, whose mission is the collective security of Europe, including Greenland.

For Trump to even contemplate attacking another NATO member state is simply sheer madness. In fact, if any external power threatens Greenland, the US is obligated to come to its defense. Why, then, is it necessary to annex Greenland for security reasons?...
