European NATO leaders have issued a joint statement that “Greenland belongs to its people” and it is for the Arctic island and Denmark only to decide on its future, after President Donald Trump’s administration reiterated its wish to take control of it.
The statement said that NATO and its allies had increased its activities and investment to make the Arctic a safe place and that Denmark and Greenland were part of that alliance.
It makes me sick to think about the US invading Greenland, and Canada is literally unthinkable. But if you believe for a second the US will be made an example of, I’m sorry but you’re just mistaken. As much vitriole as we might have toward the current leadership, the US is very strong and very capable, and the rest of the world knows that, and I’m not sure anyone wants to bear the cost of going to war with the US. They’ll have to decide if the cost of losing a Greenland, for example, is greater or less than the cost of a potential war with the US. And realistically, it’s less. Which is concerning.
Problem with that is, bullies never stop. Just like Russia, and Hitler before him, you give Trump what he wants when he bullies you and he will just take more.
The cost will be greater. Next he will demand Iceland. Then Portugal. Then pootin attacks Poland. When do you fight back? When no one’s left but you?
Are you quoting Neville Chamberlain?
I’m just some dude on the internet with an opinion, nothing I say matters.
I need to have this on the bottom of each of my posts. Bring back forum signatures.
The same situation didn’t exist then; in fact the parity was in reverse.
In no way was Nazi Germany more powerful to such a degree over Britain and France.
They conquored the entirety of France in a month and a half shortly after “peace in our time”
Unexpectedly, after some time and they still did not have the same relative power that the current US did.
Had France and Britain attacked Nazi Germany the moment they went into Poland with any commitment the Polish invasion would have stopped. They twiddled their thumbs and gave Germany the time they needed.
