I mean, invading Greenland is insane but if the pretense is that we need to defend from China I don’t feel like China saying “nah we good bro trust me” should move the needle 😛
Edit: “pretense: an attempt to make something that is not the case appear true.” I know that we do not need to invade Greenland or add more bases there or whatever. Thank you. I said that. My point is that any opponent telling you “you don’t need to defend yourself” is not particularly meaningful.

I don’t think China want this to happen. If it does, they will do whatever they can to take advantage, but they know this will be ugly for everyone.

Idk why people treat China as some crazy aggressor, they really don’t do shit other than trade a fuck ton. Especially americans like mf we have 800 military bases around the world and have been at war like 90% of the time we’ve existed

Because it’s in the opposite direction?

Two things can be true at once. China is a threat to the Arctic and the US should not invade or threaten to invade anyone without it or it’s allies being attacked first.

I wonder if Chinas plan is to replace the USA as the main dependable trade partner for the world. Replace the petrodollar as the global currency and have the USA turn into the country everyone hates and has to build their military to protect from them

I mean, great way to provoke Trump to do exactly that.

Greenland isn’t the real target.
It’s the liberal strong hold of Europe that is the target.

Why wouldn’t China present itself as a sober alternative?

I mean, there’s no point anyway. Trump says he wants it for defense, but they already are allowed, and they have, a military base there.
I assume he just wants to build his american empire.

China: “Hey, annexing islands to promote our country’s national security interests is OUR thing. You gotta find something else.”

The tsunami of fentanyl that enters the U.S. daily from Greenland is more than enough reason to invade.
Bro we could make so much more than china!
Well this will probably result in a level headed discussion.
Can’t believe I see the day of china kinda defending a NATO and EU country
Says China that “encroached” on the South China Sea with total disregard to the global community.
