Max Americana: US seizes Russian-flagged oil tanker in Europe while turning heat on icy Greenland
TOI correspondent from Washington: Any doubts that Trumpian America has embarked on a muscular, combative path aimed at unilateral, unipolar global domination has been laid to rest after the US Navy on Wednesday seized a Russian-flagged tanker carrying oil from Venezuela in European waters for violating US sanction, getting to it ahead of Russian defence. At the same time, the Trump administration officially laid out the case for taking over Greenland, either with force or through a purchase, in the face of European protests.
The twin developments were accompanied by bellicose statements from Trump administration officials that the US would dominate the world with strength, force, and power regardless of rules-based international norms in keeping with the America First doctrine.
