    Imagine how sadly funny it be if Ukraine finally is given the greenlight to join Nato then the next day US takes Greenland ending NATO

  2. Don’t threaten Trump with a good time. Throw in some cash, a trophy, and a couple of 13 year olds, he will be there tomorrow.

  3. And the end of NATO will mean a total collapse of the US arms industry as the EU will move away from all of that crap that has an off switch.

  4. I don’t think Trump sees this as a problem. European leaders are still acting like Trump can be reasoned with rationally, when Trump has literally turned the US into a rogue state overnight.

    Dear European friends… do you get it now? We have the biggest threat with Russia at our East border. We have the Chinese in the far East helping the murderers in Russia.
    And since Trump had made the USA a fascist country… we have the Americans on our Western border as our enemies.
    We have Trump, Musk, Thiel who openly say they want to destroy us…. want to destroy our European Union… what would be our end.

    We are alone now. We are the last real democratic free region on this planet. And all the evil on earth want us dead. I think now it’s time to fight.
    Putin, Trump, Netanjahu, Xi…. all have to go as soon as possible. No matter how.

    The reality of the situation is that Greenland in January is not an easy place to get to even with the largest military force in the world. It turns out that the vast majority of the arctic warfighting capability in NATO sits with the U.K., Canada and Nordic countries. If it came to a shooting war Greenland is not where it would be happening. It would be around US bases in Europe and the suburbs of Vancouver and Toronto.

  7. If this ends up happening, I hope they have a backup plan to make an European alliance without the US, else this is just like playing to Putin’s hands.

  8. Isn’t that what the Putin wants? End NATO…
    Strange that Krasnov is moving that direction…

  9. Thats the idea. I have no doubt russians are pushing for this to happen, they’re pulling US and europe into military collision with the plan to shatter NATO. Then, the russians hope is that europe is for grabs. Smart thing would be to time it with Taiwan invasion, so hopefully we have a few years still.

    As an American who dislikes/hates Trump, the EU needs to stay strong and never end NATO. Just vote the United States out, don’t let any Americans visit there on vacation.

    Too many republicans I know still vacationing there like nothing is wrong in the world because it doesn’t directly affect them.

    It’s almost like someone was planning for that all along. Now, who would benefit most from NATO ending? Perhaps someone who has an interest in invading and taking over Europe?

  12. “Weapons are bad for the world.”

    “More weapons means worse world.”

    “Therefore, less weapons means a better world.”

    “We can improve the world by not buying any weapons ourselves!”

  13. Yup, if the US attacks then NATO would have to use Article 5 but there is literally no way NATO would do so for Greenland if they have to go against the US. Once that happens then NATO will be pretty much seen as worthless.

    I will say as fucking stupid this administration is and how anti-NATO they are I don’t think they would do a full on attack on Greenland. More likely they’ll strong arm a deal to get it which would 100% weaken NATOs standing but I really don’t think they’d actually launch an attack.

    Then again this administration has been proving my extremely low expectations wrong so many times already.

  14. Why the end of NATO?

    Isn’t the logical step to fortify NATO without the United States?

    The United States may be “most” of NATO.

    But it isn’t “all” of NATO.

    One thing is for certain. Arms companies are going to be very busy for the foreseeable future. Making trillions…

  15. Just like Putin wishes.

    Incredible how Trump administration always does what Putin would have wanted. What a coincidence!

  16. Well now the pedo is definitely going to attack. His pimp in Ruzzia ordered him to dismantle NATO.

  17. Why are we waiting till USA attacks to end NATO? USA clearly arent our ally anymore. Kick them from their bases in Europe.

  18. I don’t think threatening US at “destroying NATO” is very productive. Maybe that is thing, US really want. So you can’t threat somebody things they any case want. Maybe this Greenland-case is the “trigger” some kind of “false flag” thingie, US really USE to destroy NATO. Double win. No anymore responsible Europeans defence and get Greenland. US is very capable to defence itself so they really don’t need Europe anymore kind of “buffer”.

    Within 1 year Trump has turned the US into the ENEMY of Europe. Read that again. 

  20. I mean, the US taking Greenland would mean a complete suspension of trade with a Europe, plugging the US into the worst depression in it’s history.Â
