Yup. You definitely have no idea how treaties or international relations work.

I get that it’s scary that the US is doing it, but this is far from the first time world leaders have blustered about wanting territory that wasn’t theirs.

The international community didn’t support preemptive action even when 50,000 troops were massed on Ukrainian borders, they’re not going to do it when a single US combat asset hasn’t moved towards Greenland yet, and not a single policy decision has been enacted.

Edit- don’t get me wrong, if we start blockading Greenland, massing naval and amphibious forces, or building up ground units on the base in Greenland, then absolutely bomb the shit out of them, but the international community will never support action before that. It’s ludicrous to think they would.

…because the last window of opportunity for anticipatory self-defense has been repeatedly ruled by the international community to not extend that far?

Troops massing at borders is precisely the situation that the last window of opportunity is referring to.

I’m starting to think you don’t actually know the statutes involved or their previous legal cases, because if you did you’d know your “argument” is completely worthless.

Anyone who can so readily throw out the principle of anticipatory self defense knows that isn’t a “last window of opportunity” scenario.

Why do you want Denmark to break the law so badly?

Please explain how this meets the “last window of opportunity” restriction on anticipatory self-defense.

That article doesn’t give a single reason why it would be advantageous for Denmark to preemptively break the treaty.

You realize that treaties have legal repercussions built into them if they’re broken, right? And that Denmark is waiting for us to incur those repercussions (like sanctions), rather than them?

If they’re potentially fighting an invasion, why would they want to trigger additional hardships for themselves by breaking the treaty?

You really haven’t thought about any of this, holy shit.

…so you don’t understand treaties, or international relations, or anything like that?

You don’t see why Denmark preemptively violating the NATO charter weakens their position on the international stage considerably?

Also, I’m in the US. Like I indicated in the previous comment.

You absolute idiot.

And preemptively break their NATO treaty obligations? The Danes aren’t shady backstabbers like us Americans, they’re going to let us break the treaty first.

You know, basically act like our allies. Which they are, until we break the relationship.

Danish troops are instructed to fire on invading US forces without asking for orders first.

Somehow, I think they’re taking him seriously.
