Interesting point. From my external view, a US civil war looks to be on the verge anyway

In my oppinion exactly the opposite. EU would fall devided and be in between USA and Russia, most countries would just decide for one side in order to be “protected”.

I don’t react to orders, sorry. My time at the army is long gone. Also, the question shows that you still don’t get my point.

And even if it was against US, I ment combat. There is no combat in Greenland so far. As soon as this started, NATO would break.

Nope. They sent “troops” (like 15 people e.g. German), not AGAINST US, but exactly the opposite: To show Trump, that they take his security worries for real and that they can protect Greenland. Ridiculous.

I think it would just break down in THIS event: No country would want to stand against US for an icy island that isn’t their own. So one after the other would just let Greenland fall to the US, and that would practically mean the NATO is done - because there would be proof that the treaty doesn’t help in a real case.

Nope, I didn’t say there would be no war.

and - what do you think I’m thinking? And what do you think would happen in that hypothetical case?

No EU country will send troops against the US.

The NATO would cease to exist. Countries would need to decide which NATO country to stand by, and, seriously, NONE would oppose the USA. Thus, no NATO anymore.

It wouldn’t draw the NATO to war. It would be the end of NATO.
