@onthemedia: Following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, Katie Miller, wife of Trump adviser Stephen Miller, posted an ominous image of Greenland wrapped in a U.S. flag, with a caption that simply said “soon,” to X. Trump later said that, "The U.S. does need Greenland.” And at the same time, the media has been endlessly speculating as to why Trump administration did what it did in Venezuela. Is it really about the oil? Donald Trump seems to be rolling back the clock on foreign policy, entirely remaking the post-WWII world order, but we don’t have to tie ourselves into pretzels to understand what he's doing, according to Georgetown political scientist Abe Newman, who coined a new term to understand Trump’s foreign policy. "It's really about a small group of elites using intervention to put themselves at the center of power to show other countries that they have to bend the knee,” says Newman. #venezuela #greenland #foreignpolicy #oil #onthemedia
