I suggest we use the names Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia.
Note that Greenland is not held by any of the above.

The original FTA with Mexico was in part driven by cheap labour for US industry, but also to stem the flow of Mexicans trying to get into the US.
There was an episode of Buffy jeering at women wearing made in Mexico labels. Buffy noted the knock on effect of the FTA.

But it will be.
Unless Europe get cool about a lot of stuff real quick.
I meanâŚthe world now is just Trumpism writ large.
Oh, you have your checks and balances, huh?
Well, what if we just super-audaciously ignored them?
What will You do?
Yeah. Thatâs what I thought. Sit down. Shut up.
Oh, category five.
Youâre totally protected because of that.
ButâŚwhat if I tested that? You wonât actually Do it.
Yeah. Thatâs what I thought.
Sit down. Shut up.

I meanâŚcorrect me if Iâm wrongâŚ
But under category five, as a founding member of NATO, the sort of talk the US have gone on with should see them expelled, right?

I really think the bigger issue isnât that they did it, itâs that everyone sees they did it and Nothing will happen.
Nobody cares. Or if they do, nobody can do anything about it.
THATâS the story.
No-one is getting sacked.
The journalist might go to jail. shrugs Or not because why bother?
There are no rules.
There is nothing that can possibly stop them.
There is Literally nothing they canât do.

India is a little more complicated than that.
Theyâve always hated the US.
Iâve read that Canada has increased trading ties with them to the USâsâsâs detriment.
India is about India.
And in these times, who can blame them.
Feels like theyâve been ahead of the curve.

Hilarious if true.
I have doubts, though.
Iâve seen interviews with credulous Greenlandians.
Edit: and honestly, I feel like itâs a hard sell to say they would be less prosperous under the US than Denmark.
Obviously there will be a greater military presence, hence more primary, secondary, tertiary jobs.
Way more enthusiastic mining, leading to more primary etc etc etcâŚ

Looks like itâs just a US base visit now.
US President Donald Trump has continued his threats of taking over Greenland, a Danish semi-autonomous territory, saying on Wednesday: âWeâre going to have to have itâ.
âWe need Greenland for international safety and security,â Trump added.
Although JD Vance will become the highest-ranking US official to visit Greenland, a visit to a US base is less controversial than the original plan for his wifeâs visit, which Greenlandâs acting head of government Mute Egede called a âprovocationâ.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Wednesday that the decision was âvery positiveâ and that Denmark had ânothing againstâ the Americans visiting their own base.
Rasmussen also said it was a âmasterful spin in many ways, to make [the US] look like theyâre escalating when theyâre actually deescalating.â
The revised programme will also likely reduce the risk of the Vances being met with protests by local residents.
