    I like how he said he does not want war, yet he is gonna use military force! Stick with the opposite George, stick with the opposite!

    Russia wants access to the arctic and both Canada and Greenland are in the way of that. Trump “makes Canada the 51st state” and uses military force to capture Greenland and Russia gets access.

      I think Russia wants access to the Atlantic more than the Arctic. Greenland and Nova Scotia are listening posts for Russian vessels exiting the Arctic into the Atlantic.

    If the US invades Greenland, the free world should coordinate to

    1. Fire a warning nuke (France)
    2. Have a mass sell off of US government bonds in order to get the US to default on its debt.
    3. Remove all US military bases from its borders (i.e. from Europe etc.)
    4. Migrate it’s entire infrastructure away from US tech
    5. Provide material and financial support to opponents of the Trump regime in the US.

      How does NATO article 5 hold under countries within a kingdom? Like, do they need individual membership or would an attack on ie. Greenland also mean an attack on Denmark. If not, could Denmark trigger article 5 anyway?

        Greenland is semi-autonomous, but currently still definitely part of Denmark. Article 5 would apply to an invasion here, if Denmark should choose to invoke it.

    Good job, Trump! I can now check off “Lebensraum” from my “Are Republican’s actually Nazis?” Checklist. Almost full now, then I guess we all lose.

      You are a presidential term too late. In this term he doesn’t have to distract anybody, because he knows he can do whatever he wants without any repercussions. He doesn’t do distractions anymore.
