That Venezuela and Greenland are not America’s playthings to toy with means nothing to the incumbent president, nor does the once-binding concept of international law. He is a ruler and not a creature born of governance and its intrinsic restraints. But he is a convincingly elected ruler elevated by those who sought such a figure. So, woe to America? Hardly. Welcome instead to an America whose ‘A’ stands for arrogance and welcome also to a new world order based on all that which limitless personal hubris implies and delivers. Let “free world” leadership rest in peace.
