"As Alberta moves toward a possible independence referendum this October, Canada has become the latest battleground in Russia’s long-running shadow war against the West, with Kremlin disinformation operations, MAGA influencers, Trump-aligned figures, and Russian propaganda networks all converging to amplify narratives to convince Canadians that their country stands on the verge of collapse, fragmentation, and institutional failure."

This assessment of Trump's shakeup of the global system draws on interviews with more than a dozen current & former government officials, foreign diplomats & independent analysts in Washington & capitals around the world.
On the global stage, #Trump is resuscitating what much of the international community had long spurned as an outdated worldview – #SpheresOfInfluence carved out by the big powers.

"Trump told the New York Times that the U.S. may have to choose between seizing Greenland and preserving NATO, arguing that outright ownership matters more than treaties or international law, remarks that prompted warnings from Denmark and other European leaders that any U.S. attack on Greenland would effectively end the alliance and deepen transatlantic tensions."

"Trump said the U.S. will take action to secure control of Greenland 'whether they like it or not,' citing national security concerns and warning that Russia or China could otherwise gain influence, despite firm opposition from Greenland, Denmark, and bipartisan U.S. lawmakers."

"Trump has a childlike fascination with the great power politics that predated the current world order, and his foreign policy is broadly centering on organizing the globe into three spheres of influence — American, Russian, and Chinese — in which the leading powers largely have free rein."

"It’s not just the performative dick-swinging that is the dangling subtext to all of Trump foreign policy that is driving this new imperative. …
Rather, it is a broader assault on the reordering of the relationship among nations that emerged following the First World War," (continued in /16)

“'U.S. foreign policy now is imperial, and consistently imperial,' {Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs] said. 'It’s not simply pursuing an American empire in the Western Hemisphere, but Trump accepts the very notion of empire, which is why other empires can exist.'
Such a worldview allows for not only an American empire, but also Russian and Chinese ones, she said."

"Our leader has determined and decreed, that the Constitution, domestic US law, the UN Charter, international law, and Senate ratified treaties with other nations no longer apply in our new Imperial age. The era of law is behind us now. American democracy, the post WWII rules-based order, the Four Freedoms, Pax Americana are now relics of a bygone era."

"He rejects the hard lessons learned by Europeans in centuries of war between absolutist states and rival religious factions in which ordinary people were frequently put to the sword or burned alive, famine and plagues went unchecked, and prosperity was squandered."

"German Bundestag Member Roderich Kiesewetter: 'The current threat situation for Greenland is far more than a bizarre episode by Trump. It is a warning shot for all of us. Anyone who has so far understood Trump’s slogan "Make America Great Again’" merely as an economic battle cry has fundamentally misunderstood it.'"

"We are standing at the threshold of World War III.
If the United States moves to seize Greenland by force, NATO will fracture. What follows will not be a diplomatic fallout that will result in a chain reaction of military escalation, drawing in global power blocs until the term 'world war' is no longer theoretical.

"Putin's reasoning, according to witnesses familiar with the proposals, is simple: if Trump would agree to disengage in Ukraine, Putin would agree to give Trump control in Venezuela. Each country is in the other's 'backyard,' the story went, so if Trump got relief in his backyard, Putin could expect reciprocation in his."

"An investigation by America 2.0 has revealed that Vladimir Putin has been attempting to influence Donald Trump to seize both Venezuela and Greenland since at least 2017. The effort, rooted in Putin's ambitions in Ukraine, hinged on American embrace of the Monroe Doctrine, the 1823 policy framework that focused American influence within the Western Hemisphere."

"Our domestic policy is run by the same collection of dangerous fools, knaves, and deeply insecure little men.
There is a direct line between January 6, 2021, and the American action in Venezuela. An American president who does not recognize the laws of his own country can hardly be expected to recognize any international law."

"The problem with American foreign policy is that it appears to be run by dangerous fools, knaves, and deeply insecure little men of no substance. This is because our country’s foreign policy is run by fools, knaves, and deeply insecure little men.
That falls into the true-but-inadequate category."

"The through line between January 6th and Venezuela is an American government that believes that it is taking back what belongs to them, what belongs to white America. And that is taking back America or taking back their backyard in the West. But it's all about that. It's about taking back and bringing us back to that old world order."

"Nearly a year ago, I heard an American woman tell a large room full of people that the recently inaugurated US president was going to bring about world peace. Implying that she had special links to the new administration, she explained that Trump, Putin and Xi Jin Ping were going to divide the planet into three spheres of influence."

"That post-war bargain held for decades not because leaders became more kind, but because breaking it was understood to be catastrophic to humanity. War between major powers didn’t disappear – it was constrained, contained, laundered through diplomacy and proxy conflict rather than open conquests.
That restraint is eroding before our eyes."

Julie Roginsky sees what Trump has just done as "the first clear salvo of World War III":
"It is a geopolitical declaration that the United States claims not just security prerogatives, but territorial and economic dominion over an entire hemisphere."

"Watch the frothing blood lust and madness of Stephen Miller on CNN last night. I know its hard to watch him but you need to see this. At one point he says:
'Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO.'"

"Trump’s domestic and foreign policies — ranging from his attempted coup against the United States five years ago, to his incursion into Venezuela last weekend, to his current threats against Cuba, Colombia, and Greenland — undermine domestic and international law. But that’s not all.
They threaten what we mean by civilization."

"It is a concept that eschews morality and values, kicks international and domestic law to the curb and invites disaster for the U.S., our neighbors and the world.
It is the same thuggish, blood-soaked approach to the international relations that guided Hitler, Stalin and virtually all of the great monsters of the past."

"That vision is a profound rejection of the principles of the rules-based international order, which was designed to use power for deterrence rather than domination. It is also a profound rejection of the principles of American democracy, a system of checks and balances to channel power into a government that could deliver stability and prosperity to all the people, not just a select few."

The sirens in Germany are back. Every few months in my childhood the sirens were tested and we were reminded that there was a cold war that kept the tension between two ideologies and a very sinister worldview that divided the world in "spheres of influence," effectively denying smaller countries the right to self-determination.
