                       MIGHT DOES NOT MAKE RIGHT

  (Mr. KHANNA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, Donald Trump's threats to invade Greenland 
have destroyed the world order. Prime Minister Carney, quoting 
Thucydides, has said that America is acting as if might makes right. He 
is invoking Vaclav Havel's call for resistance not against 
authoritarian communism but against the arrogance of America.
  Mr. Speaker, I am ashamed for my country. I want Prime Minister 
Carney to know that there is a new generation of America that believes 
in a multiracial democracy that raises the sovereignty and self-
determination of all nations. I want him to know that there is a new 
generation that believes in statesmanship, not subjugation. I want him 
to know that there is a new generation that believes in Kant's vision 
of perpetual peace with free nations bounded by international law.
  Prime Minister Carney and leaders of the world, I ask for your 
patience and faith that this new generation prevails in the United 
States of America.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Fine). Members are reminded to direct 
their comments to the Chair.
