  1. And you think that’s some sort of deterrent? He’s been bad mouthing NATO from the get go, I’ll bet Putin never imagined how wildly successful his stooge would turn out to be…

  2. Trump doesn’t care about NATO, the rules-based order, or anything the EU holds sacred. Europe needs a serious strategy to deter him, instead of trying to make him care about things he doesn’t care about and never will.

  3. There are 40 US bases in Europe and about 80,000 personnel who will all be required to leave if the US leaves or gets booted from NATO.

    I sadly fear this is what is about to happen. Trump will want to force Greenland even if its citizens don’t want it

  5. Dear Mr. Putin,

    Be careful what you wish for. First, I applaud you for the way you helped to manufacture a return to the “Age of Empires” where only China, the U.S., and Russia stand supreme. A NATO with a disengaged U.S. is less powerful than a NATO with all countries on “death ground”. It’s been eighty years since the end of WWII. It is in fact time for Europe to stand (not alone) but on their own two feet. You are by far the weakest of the three and I have no idea what part of your future you had to mortgage to the Chinese for their support. Minerals and Arctic assess is my guess. You have railed against the fall of the USSR and blame the West. I served in the USN from 1980-2000 and we owned you. You fell from within (like you always do) and the corruption endemic for 500 years will continue to haunt you.

    Signed,

    STG2 USN (retired)

  6. Yeah, that’s what he’s hoping for. Trump got his orders from his case officer, Putin. Just remove us from NATO and continue the alliance.

  7. The worst part is: he doesn’t even need to invade Greenland,it’s an ally.If he wants more military there or build another military base,it’s already allowed to do that.

  8. Putin didn’t recruit Agent Krasnov for funsies. This is exactly why all that Russian money was flowing to the Trumps since the beginning.

  9. So I guess the question is how NATO will handle the US attacking it and how quickly they can be completely removed. Like it seems like they’d need to start a separate non-US alliance now just so that they wouldn’t be sharing intel or defensive plans with the US in advance or have them part of the command structure before a war breaks out.

  10. It’s what Putin always wanted

    The trump agent theory is becoming more likely by the day

  11. Tucker Carlson, that f-wit, thinks this is part of a master plan to ally Russia, a white and Christian nation with the US to defeat China. The timeline reads like the prequel to Orwell’s 1984.

    In George Orwell’s 1984, the world is divided into three perpetually warring totalitarian superstates: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. The war between them is not for victory but to maintain a permanent state of emergency that justifies their absolute control over their populations.

    Almost like Trump knows this because a certain someone caught up in an invasion of another country told him so and would LOVE for this to happen.

  13. We’re so integrated with the US via NORAD that I don’t know how Canada could separate itself. If Trump really goes through with an occupation of Greenland, we’re beyond fucked up here.

    The EU, UK, and Canada should immediately send troops to Greenland. Get a military force there of some sort so that if Trump does order the US military to go in, there will be some sort of resistance. Maybe then you’d see US military commanders refusing to follow orders involving attacking allies. Maybe not. But at least it could possibly serve as a deterrent.

  14. That whole Trump russian asset thingy is really looking likely now huh. Why else would he want to rock the boat.
