When in high school, there were still Nazi jokes being told among us students and in the family. Most must not be told today, in particular on my blog. But a cute one went, Somebody got a globe and was looking for The Reich. Someone else pointed to Germany, and the first one asked, Does the Führer know? being stunned how small it was. 

I had to think about it when wondering why on earth does the man in the White House want to get his hands on Greenland? 

Maybe someone has shown him Russia, then the US on a map. Then he discovered Greenland.

He knew already that these tiresome tiny European countries are dispensable, just a nuisance. In his new National Security Strategy, Africa only played a role for exploiting its rich resources of rare elements. Russia was well equipped according to its sheer size, true. Even China (but not so much). 

But, gasp!, how tiny were actually the US!, as compared to Canada and that WHITE ISLAND in the north. 

Maybe someone else showed him another image for comparison.

Look at these European countries! And where is even that land where these Ukrainians live with its despicable gadfly Zelenskij, or what was his name.

To make America great again means also to make it larger! So, why not annex this icy half continent in the north (and, of course, Canada, too). For what reason do we have this Monroe Doctrine (something he had never heard of until recently, somebody fortunately mentioned it in his morning briefings!). 

And then the misconception with the Western Hemisphere. It’s just the Americas. Let the Europeans believe, they belong to it. They belong to Eurasia, that is Russia. Putin has told him.
