Greenland / Trump nonsense.

Yeah. If NATO is worth anything they would have to dismiss USA from NATO and have a tantrum. Or impose sanctions. Or even go to war. But Russia invaded Ukraine and NATO did nothing, mainly because Ukraine is not a member of NATO. So surely NATO must intervene if two of its members go to war.
 
People keep referring to "taken by force", they wouldn't need "force", it has next to no military there (probably already more US than Danish).

It has a coast guard that does sea rescues, with about 3 helicopters.

It has several (very) widely dispersed airfields that could be "taken" but they're 99% civilian airports, with no defence, and mostly a couple or more hours apart.

It does have a lot of ice, coast, and rock, none of the major settlements are connected by road, and connecting roads are virtually impossible to build because of the distances and terrain involved.

Most transport is by sea or air apart from within settlements.

It has several thousand (widely scattered) polar bears.

Force as in Greenland trying to react militarily I agree. But if Greenland flatly refuse to accept the orange turds demands, then simply increasing the US contingent there is a form of force imo
 
This whole thing has some echoes of the Falklands to me.
Only as such as a country claims through military means another nations sovereign territory. There the similarity ends as if Trump takes Greenland by shipping in a few thousand troops to their military base, there will be no task force assembled to kick them out.

Putin and Trump eh? Where will their ambitions take us?
 
Actually I said that he's an idiot and nothing he does matters because it will be immediately reversed when he leaves. Which is still true. But nice of you to chirp in again to me you stupid ****
For the record, you absolutely did say what I wrote.

Second, does the “nothing that he does matters” include the suffering he causes people and institutions and the cruelty he imposes between now and this alleged immediate reversal of his policies?

Because if that’s what you think, then that makes it clear who the **** is here.
 
As others have already said, the rationale that the US need it for security reasons falls apart under the most negligible of scrutiny. It's NATO territory, the US is a member of NATO, and they already have bases on the island anyway. This isn't some menacing state that is threatening US sovereignty.

The rhetoric of his lackeys has taken a telling shift; "our hemisphere", "nobody will fight us", "why should Denmark have a claim to Greenland". This rhetoric is illustrative as to why he wants it, because he's an imperialist ****. And he's an imperialist **** whose time is running out. That's the reason. Anyone who can't see that is either a.) a total fucking idiot, or b.) a cultist. At least a.) can be forgiven.

However, I don't think he'll claim Greenland. He's an unhinged maniac, but I think this would be his Rubicon.
He's jostling for position on something (possibly NATO spending or similar).

He's not taking Greenland in my humble opinion...........
 
If he opts to do it in the next few months every European country should boycott the World Cup

Boycott the World Cup

Both UEFA and CONMEBOL should boycott the World Cup. They should also take back control of FIFA and sack off that arse licking morph twat and annul the peace prize. And organise sliding tackle practice on all of Trumps golf greens.

He needs ro be kept in hisd box until the mid-terms. If the Democrats take Congress a lot of his enablers will fade away into the shadows again and he'll be left with JD and Rubio to wank him off.

As posted yesterday, if he orders US troops to open fire on NATO troops, then I would guess they would refuse to
Isn't it more a case of which side Greenland/Denmark wish to take?

Are they content having the pesky Ruskies and Chinese occupying the seas surrounding their country or would they prefer some kind of protection from the US? Quite a simple question really.... you can complicate it all you like by making all kinds of assumptions but the actual reality is West or East?

Going with the US would help reduce the risk of major conflict...
