    If article 5 gets used against the US before it’s used against Russia I’m gonna cry laughing, quit my job, and take up day-drinking because it would mean that this is clearly an amusement park ride and not real life.

      Article 5 doesn’t apply to a member attacking another member. If it did, Greece and Turkey wouldve made the other members more nervous long before now.

        The contractors on the Death Star knew what they signed up for.

        Any contractor willing to work on that Death Star knew the risks. If they were killed, it was their own fault. A roofer listens to [their heart] not [their] wallet.

          Death?

          Do you also support killing everyone who paid taxes to the Trump administration?

          Think about what you’re saying. We don’t have to exaggerate everything.

      But Greenland’s resources ministry said that contrary to Price’s claim, there were “no actually active permissions for any exploration activity or permissions for preparations for these activities”.

      Not Greenland, apparently. The executive chair of company’s comment is basically “we lied” in fancy dress. I assume one of two things is likely here: either they intend to just start anyway and rely on the American government to protect them by force, or they have no intention of drilling at all and this is functionally a photo op so that the American government can say “look at this deal we got”

    I recall the EU having an army equalling the US and also having nuclear weaponry…

    It might be dirt land but it’s our dirt land; it’s the Greenlanders’!
