An Austrian NATO official sent a blunt warning to Washington: Touch Greenland & Europe seizes US bases.
Gunther Fehlinger says if the US annexes Greenland, every American base in Europe—from Germany to Italy to Romania—would be confiscated, ending decades of U.S. military power on the continent.

This isn’t funny because there are severe consequences … but it is kinda funny because OF COURSE the newly installed President would say this. How could she not denounce the country that kidnapped her party’s leader, her country’s president? Venezuelans were expected to support this?
President Trump said on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the U.S. run the country. Less than two hours later, Rodríguez made clear she viewed the U.S. as an illegal invader that must be rejected.
