      Yeah… and the law needs you to release ALL the Epstein Files, Donald.

      Will US actually attack?? Isn’t it basically economic Armageddon?? How on earth are we in this timeline, I legit thought Americans had too much too loose.

      The funniest thing to me is that if someone created a piece of speculative fiction depicting this scenario just a couple years ago, we all would have written it off as absolutely absurd.

      This is one of those examples for me where the fiction of meritocracy, or human competence just evaporates.

      This is great news, Greenland needs its sovereignty protected. More troops will be on the way soon

      This is the next logical step in the crisis. Europe will have a military presence in Nuuk so Trumps troops will have a reception committee if they turn up uninvited.

      There are practical obstacles for the Americans. They can arrive only by air or sea. The is only one runway near Nuuk and that is where the EU troops are. Landing there can be prevented simply by parking a plane on the runway.

      The other route is by sea. There are icebergs and pack ice around Nuuk and that is only going to get worse over the next few weeks. If Trump sends in the US Navy they will need weeks to prepare and then several days to actually get there from US waters. Not exactly Shock and Awe. They also only have one icebreaker.

      For all the chest thumping and pathetic muscle flexing it is actually really hard to conduct military operations in the Arctic especially in winter. This crisis is more likely to fizzle out because the American military can’t actually do anything than because Trump sees sense.

      My guess is they will go bomb the crap out of somewhere warmer where Europe is not going to get in the way. However the damage is done. NATO is already dead and Europe needs to untangle itself from US dominance. It will just happen in a more managed way.

      I remember the articles from Britain saying that Trump was needed for peace.

      Today is my birthday, if that happens it means the end of the US empire, what a gift.

      It says a lot that Trump would start a war to distract people from his refusal to release the Epstein files.

      This is pretty funny because the only escalations from the U.S. side are Trump spewing garbage from his mouth as usual. The actual difference from the U.S. military is literally none.

      When you start seeing more U.S. aerial and naval activity, and I mean significantly more than usual, and said fleets are only „spotted“ and not known to Europeans, THEN you worry. That has yet, and I doubt it will, happen.

      It was the right move. But if you look further you can see the commitment from all parties was absurdly timid. Single digit or low double digit contingents are just going to make Trump and Maga laugh.

      ‚the escalation ladder‘ is rearing it’s ugly head again. And it will lead us into the same place it did in Ukraine. Prolonged conflict and unnecessary death.

      We need to out escalate and initimudate them before it gets beyond the scope of what we can respond to. The full NATO arctic warfare force needs to deploy for an extended exercise that is pointedly about defending Greenland from an atracker to the west.

      Anything less means Trump will do it.

      Hahahh. It’s pathetic to see country’s send troops to the region. And it’s like 2 dudes.

      Greenland only needs as much protection as a mall.

      US takes Greenland.
      NATO breaks apart.
      Russia attacks Western Europe
      China attacks Taiwan.

      But hey, at least America got a barely inhabitable ice sheet. Can I visit?

    19. Fluffyfiffy on

      The USA already has a military base on there and can do whatever they want. They have several treaties with Greenland and denmark and are free to operate. Greenland is also under Nato protection.

      The US has nothing to gain from this but can lose everything they built with their allies for over 80 years.

      A sane president would look at this response and say to himself, „I wasn’t expecting this response, perhaps I’m wrong!“ However, an intelligent president wouldn’t have traveled down this road, in the first place. Can there be any other more compelling evidence that *donnie is in the throes of dementia?*

      I hope one day the aliens attack earth.

      Either we just all die and that’s it, either humanity unify against a common enemy.
