      It’s so unfair, isn’t it? People are dying because of Trump. People are fearing for their safety because of Trump. People in countries outside the Untied States are fearing for our national security because of Trump. And he rightfully should be in prison.

    In a world that made sense, U.S forces would also say they’re ready to join with Denmark in defending Greenland.

    I really hope Canada joins in.

    It would fuck trade negotiations a bit, but a useful outcome isn’t guaranteed there, and if Greenland falls the loss of our own sovereignty almost is.

      I’d be okay with the rest of the world freezing out the U.S. No one needs them anyway.

    We shouldn’t kid ourselves. There is no realistic way to defend Greenland with actual arms against America.

    It could cause world war 3

      The US attacking allied territory of the EU is basically the death of NATO, one way or another. WW3 is a hop and a skip from that.

      I’ve not been following super closely for mental health reasons, but if it is just Denmark? We are looking at another Ukraine. Everyone is going to hem and haw and say “just give it to the pricks” to “avoid World War 3”. Whereas, if we start seeing other EU/NATO nations deploying troops to protect Greenland… there is a chance that SOMETHING remains and we don’t just have russia running over everyone else one by one.

        How can anyone say Trump ISN’T beholden to Putin? Even if you know nothing of their 30 year relationship, Trump is doing everything that a puppet of Putin would do. Russia really just… won the Cold War ultimately. They did it. They have a Russian asset as POTUS, Russian asset at head of intelligence at ODNI, and many many others scattered throughout.

        All of this is straight out of “Foundations of Geopolitics” by Dugin.

          and on top of that, it’s very likely that china and russia have infiltrated a lot of critical IT infrastructure after the SolarWinds debacle. Haven’t heard much about the cleanup; It’s like a free for all currently.

          As did Sweden, Norway and France.

          EDIT: And as a Dane, I am so grateful toward our real allies!

              There’s talk of sending the EU rapid reaction force. It’s only 5000 troops but they’re the good shit.

                Why does it matter if they are good? Are they actually thinking they can repel an invasion?

                The GDP of Denmark is about half of the US war budget.

                  No they don’t think they can repel an invasion, but they know they can make it very costly. Different bioregion, same advantage as the Vietnamese resistance, and cold is even harsher on troops and equipment than the jungle.
