Trump wants to wrest control of Greenland from Denmark. But replacing a former colonizer with a global hegemon is only a recipe for deeper subjugation, not freedom.
As someone who closely studies the politics of non-sovereign European overseas territories, I find many of these dynamics familiar, as are the reactionary appropriations of "decolonial" rhetoric that is a persistent feature of these places. I think your piece helpfully recontextualizes them within the newer trend of diagonalist politics in the Post-Soviet context and, increasingly, in the US. Thanks for this.
