    No European country could survive a war with the US, and Greenland is just not worth it. The US government knows this. It will further push Europeans to become independent. Such a tragedy.

      A few years ago I would have agreed with you, but after watching the US’s disastrous campaign in Iran I’m not as sure. I think there are quite a few European countries that could lock the US into an unwinnable conflict.

        Yeah war has changed massively and it sure seems like most of the US military is equipped for combat that drone warfare has rendered obsolete. Not to mention the rampant corruption in the government - hard to say what they’re capable of anymore.

      The point is not Greenland. “Nobody” cares about Greenland.

      NATO is a defense pact. If the US claims and invades Greenland, that’s an attack that will trigger the defense clauses in NATO.

      The US is big, but I don’t see them winning a conflict between all of Europe, Canada AND the other usual suspects who would happily jump at the opportunity, like China and Iran.

      Yeah right, the US struggles against farmers and goat herders… They have lost most wars they started. They would get crushed by modern age military. They are actually getting fucked up in Iran alone. Now go up against advanced militaries and essentially an entire continent plus war with Europe would drag in it’s allies. The US will face total economic collapse and face civil war before the EU comes close to falling.

      Dipshit donnie already neutered us by wasting our arms on another conflict. We may not even be able to defend against an actual threat like Russia or China anymore let alone pick a random fight with an ally.

          China has Tibet like Russia has Ukraine or Israel has Palestine. The US obviously doesn’t have a good track record either but past allies, countries we’ve helped in the past, may be more vulnerable since these pedophiles took over. For example, we’ve moved missile defenses out of South Korea whom North Korea wants to invade and China backs.

          Unfortunately, things aren’t black and white but shades of grey.

            Could you please tell me when Tibet was an independent country and not just an autonomous territory or vassal state of China?

            I’m sure the Tibetans living in Tibet really want their Buddhist-pope back and live in serfdom.

      US missile stockpiles looking a little thin according to recent reports. Maybe they shouldn’t be trying to butter everybody’s biscuits like the bluster would lead one to believe.
