    Trump needs to be stopped by congress, enough is enough. They cannot let this madman ruin world peace

    I guarantee Putin Is sitting there having a laugh with his military command. Someone lost money when Vladimir said “I bet I can get this guy to wreck NATO without us firing a single shot!”

    I’m calling it now.  There will be a strike on US soil, and Trump will use that as pretext to cancel elections.

  4. This kind of headline should be enough to get reasonable american congress people to impeach a wildly out of control president who refuses to even respect the separation of powers domestically, but apparently not.

  5. This action would be so self destructive that any U.S citizen or military personnel should resist by any means necessary to see it not happen.

    It’s absolute madness. There can’t be an advisor on the planet that thinks the U.S being cut off and alone on earth is the best path forward. We’d be surrendering all global influence. It’s so mind numbingly dumb that it doesn’t even make sense by MAGA standards.

    Anyone supporting this hates the U.S. Because there can’t be another reason you’d want to doom us so thoroughly.

  6. The thought of the US going to war with NATO must be mad funny for Putin right now. Well played Komrads.

  7. I’m Danish and my aunt is from Greenland. We don’t really think that a military invasion of the place will happen, but it actually seems more likely that an armed conflict could take place over the principle itself.

    The landmass itself is fucking enormous with very few people living on it, so it isn’t really a platform for a conventional invasion. It wouldn’t make sense. There’s nothing actually there at current that could even begin to repel a military landing. It’s little arctic villages (Google image search for ‘bygd’) dotted along the coasts, hundreds or thousands of miles apart. The country itself is almost impossible to invade due to geography.

    But what can happen is a naval standoff, which is always ugly due to the inherent death toll of naval warfare. If your ship goes down, it’s often the case that you go down with it. Naval warfare has always had a huge death toll, shot for shot. You can’t run away and jump into a trench. If the metal you’re sitting on goes down, so do you. Even if you have lifeboats, the arctic ocean isn’t a great place to flail around in.

    Why is this even a consideration? What has happened to America? In a very short span of years, you went from world leaders to the new Nazi regime. That is how you’re now regarded over here across the pond. We know not all of you are in on it, but it *is* what your country presents to the rest of the world.

    Hopefully Mark Rutte can convince ‘daddy’ that this would be really stupid. But I guess the third world war is on the brink of happening..

    Trump: If Kamala is elected, there will be WW3.

    Also Trump: Attacks a NATO ally.

  10. “very, very stupid and unnecessary”

    Sums up this regime and the Neanderthals who voted for them…

  11. Even in Putin’s wildest fever dreams in 2015, he didn’t imagine things going so well.

  12. After that disastrous first term, imagine one-third of Americans not voting. Undecided….fucking UNDECIDED 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️
    Forget the other third who voted for him, at least they made up their brainwashed minds around hate, division, and racism. This is really on the people who didn’t bother to vote at all… and that’s exactly how we ended up in this situation.

  13. Hahaha how is the U.S. gonna fight a war against NATO with escalating conflicts both in Venezuela and growing civil unrest domestically?

    Our administration is truly suicidal if that is the case.

  14. Military occupation of Greenland by US would violate the 51 treaty and trigger Nato’s article 5, requiring the US to defend Greenland from… the US, any one who ordered US occupation should immediately be charged and tried for treason and correct penalty should apply.

  15. It needs to be done even if Denmark cannot beat the US. The future has no place for power hungry bullies like Trump. If this creates massive instability then so be it. That’s the only way the US can learn.

    This is exactly why Putin facilitated Trump’s rise to power. He [Putin] is the only one who benefits from a civil dispute within NATO.

    If I see one more American say “but the law!”, I’m going to go insane.

    Do you not fucking get it yet?

    “If Trump does bad thing, I might do something”

    The fact that you guys aren’t burning down the White House right now (like the Iranians, Ukrainians, literally any people that actually want to be free) is incredible.

  18. This idea that the US could just fight NATO and “win” misses the point entirely. It would not be about victory. A conventional conflict would immediately wipe out US basing in Europe, shatter alliances, and trigger a financial crisis across both sides of the Atlantic. The US and UK economies are deeply intertwined, and the economic fallout alone would be massive and self-inflicted. That mutual damage is precisely why a war like this, nuclear or otherwise, is not a realistic outcome.
