As we increasingly witness international law being swatted away like so many errant flies by an aggressive new breed of narcissistic political despot, it becomes increasingly clear that institutions and political forces once considered to be stabilizers of world affairs, no longer have the courage or the will to intervene to draw a red line under the mass abuse of fundamental justice.

This is a shocking realisation for those who believe that our world is still somehow held together by a chain of checks and balances relying on mutually accepted high level diplomatic interventions and established traditional protocols.

That supposed 'safety net' has been consistently undermined over many decades of brutal US led global aggression. And when put to a true test of its veracity, has rarely – if ever – proved to be up to the job.

So now the fascist cause is being revived under terms of political expediency. And as we see from the actions of Trump and Netanyahu, if there is sufficient military might willing to back the despots' aims, their hegemony is put into effect. Brutally so.

On the surface European group allegiance to institutions like NATO, are not so just under the surface. NATO is a pretty incoherent potential fighting force whose bark does not provide proof of its bite. 

If Trump, emboldened by his brazen capture of Maduro, should make Greenland his next target, what will NATO's response be?  Greenland is a NATO member, by dint of its connection with the Danish constitution. But NATO does not feel it can act without the support of the USA.

What excuse will it dream up not to have to step in and actively defend Greenland if Trump takes the military option?

Canada is also supposed to be in Trump's firing line.  Canada is part of the Commonwealth whose titular head is the King of England. Charles has lavishly wined and dined Trump at Windsor Castle,

no doubt to try and soften his views on export tariffs. What kind of backroom negotiations are going on between them concerning the future of Canada?

Such political manoeuvrings on the world stage are not only about countries seeking to illegally gain territories for their further enrichment, but about billionaire gangsters letting their egos run amok as a planned part of the deep state strategy for taking control of world affairs.
