Europe’s only true ally is the Europeans themselves. Look how little it took to turn Europe’s biggest partner into its biggest threat.

I’m desperately crossing my fingers that Trump will TACO at the eleventh hour. Millions- heck billions of people still have so much to live for, and it would be an unfathomable tragedy if we all died because a pedo rapist refused to take no for answer.

The Canadian Armed Forces does Arctic training too. Let’s go.

I really hope Europe is gonna act for once. Just take the threat seriously. Like for real.

As an American, I’m all for it. You can’t trust anything coming out of DC now. Trump has made us a pariah.

It makes me sad that billions of people have to suffer because of T., that monster, and P. I still can’t believe it, and every day I wish for this pseudo-nightmare to end.

As an American, I support this step, because I have no idea how crazy Trump is.

What if the Europeans threatened to bulldoze Trump’s overseas properties if he follows through with attacking Greenland?

Please seize his golf courses in Scotland and Ireland and plan to turn them into wind farms.
That would horrify him. Those are his most precious assets.

The thing to do is actually station that brigade in Canada. Close enough to respond to Greenland if Greenlanders call, while complicating the larger ambitions from the start.
Democracy needs an Arctic umbrella.

They better do it right now

And in Ukraine?
We don’t see that.
LMAO.

The headline is a lie. It’s the head of the German reservist association asking for that, which has nothing to do with the German government.
Musclecar123 on
This is not “Germany” calling for a brigade in Greenland.
This is a German guy who is president of the reservists association calling for a deployment there.
This type of jingoistic rhetoric is dangerous.
MarvVanZandt on
reality: they don’t have a European army outside of NATO. They cant use NATO because USA controls / operates the majority of NATO. Rendering in detrmintal command vaccums and material loss.
This is doable I suppose as a loose coalition of nations sending troops over. . But if Trump is hellbent on securing Greenland…they will be martyrs. Europe doesn’t have the collected organized force necessary to sustain a resistance. Let alone fight a two front war.
The likelihood of Russian aggression during a western conflict would rise considerably. Even if only to retake some weak ex-USSR neighbors.
In the end the most likely thing is nothing will change and this will all be some tough rhetoric to keep distracting from the Epstein files. Worst cast scenario the US controls a landmass that currently has a population the size of most suburbs. I dont think any Euro solider wants to risk their life for that. We will see in time.

I strongly doubt that Europeans would open fire on U.S. soldiers. One scenario I fear is that they would do nothing beyond condemning the invasion. Denmark might request NATO support, but not all member countries would agree, and as a result NATO could collapse. Some U.S. military bases in Europe would be closed, though not all, since certain European/NATO countries would continue to stand with the U.S., such as Hungary, Turkey and Poland…. This is the worst case scenario in my opinion and I hope it doesn’t happen but honestly there is no good scenario either except if Trump calls it off

Fuck every single american who voted for trump, you’ve made world much more lawless,so much less safe.
I worry central Europe still hasn’t really woken up to this current situation. People don’t want to believe what they are seeing.
I hate it how I’m not yet getting the sense of anger, disappointment, boycotts and resistanse from Europe that Canada offered in response. People need to realize usa isn’t a friend, ally or trustworthy partner anymore.
Nick_Strong on
I still find it incredible how unnecessary all this drama over Greenland is. The US got along perfectly fine without Greenland. It used to have like 17 bases there and closed all but one. I don’t want to blame Russia for everything, but Trump’s behavior is typically Russian. Russia is obsessed with making its country look bigger on the map, by force if necessary, while almost everyone else today spreads their influence through alliances and partnerships. One thing Trump and Russia have in common is that they think they should just bully anyone they see as weaker into submission. That’s Trump’s whole strategy: just try to bully everyone you can, or extort them and call it “dealmaking.”

I’m against using force to acquire other nations.
But I like how Europe’s been useless against Russia on their doorstep, but now, all of the sudden, are ready to gear up against the US.

Germany can’t manage a brigade in Lithuania before 2027 and anything more than that they have said is beyond their capabilities…
TheDrAlbrhect on
It hasn’t technically even been a full year since Trump was sworn in again after a brief hiatus and here we have Europeeans having to actively consider setting up additional troops in Greenland to defend against…the United States.
As someone else said, either the BP oil rig accident unleashed Cthulu on our world or the Large Hadron Collider exploded and we merged with the Mirror Universe.

If it all goes to shit. I hope the world remembers that many of us were never okay with any of this ever
Fragrant_Fox_5056 on
It feels more and more like NATO have no actual power, it’s time they asserted themselves on the world again to stop what is currently happening . That was the whole point of NATO. Send troops to Greenland , let Trump know it’s more than words .
Everyone is making his power trip so easy.
Enough is enough, America needs us all right now like we have often needed them
