And Hitler wanted Poland, France, Russia, and a few others. See what it got him.
Only in a world where you screw over your allies...
It would lead to the breakup of NATO, so guess who's idea this was.
The US annexing Greenland is all it would take? How so? I'm asking because I'm woefully undereducated in these matters. Couldn't we form our own NATO, without the US but with blackjack and universal health care?
Greenland belongs to Denmark. Denmark doesn't want to give it up. So annexing it would constitute an attack of one NATO member on another.
Exactly. Also, Europe can and likely will start its own defensive alliance sooner or later. But with the US constituting more than half the military power of NATO right now, that won't amount to much other than keeping the Russians in check.
Ah, so the issue is that NATO, in order to be effective, is very much dependent on the US being in it. Bother.
Not really, NATO is a nuclear power and a several times bigger conventional military power than Russia, even without the US.
That said, it would be shit fighting against the US. For everyone involved.
Can we just build a replica oval office at Mar A Lago and having him play president while someone real just takes over? Fuckkkkk
🤣🤣🤣
Why do I have a feeling he saw the Mercator version of Greenland and was having size envy and wants it.
Somehow that is the first thing that makes sense for his obsession with Greenland.
How much do native Greenlanders like being governed by Denmark, would they conceivably be better off as US citizens? Obviously self governance is best but could they defend their own territory in that case. I think there's a case to be made for this idea and few Americans regret having Alaska as part of the union.
And lose their Schengen passport? And have to adopt to a foreign language?
Greenland is autonomous, it is part of the kingdom but governs itself.
Hope that helps.
People skeeting stuff.
