As an American I really hope the EU takes this seriously. I was screaming about shit like this since Jan 6th and nothing was done. Take these people seriously. The US will invade Greenland and it will be to distract from Putin doing something even worse in Ukraine. They are betting the EU can not fight a war on two fronts. Prove them wrong.
WW3 here we come.
Yup it would trigger article 5
Well, if USA and Europe were at war, with article 5, they could arrange it so that Europe fought Europe and USA fought USA, singe they are allies and must help. It would save a lot of transatlantic logistics and make things much easier.
Makes it a lot easier that way
It’s not a distraction, it is the cornerstone for US control in the North Atlantic. It backstops the US ability to defend the eastern seaboard and be able to strike Europe.
The US already has military bases and the ability to develop resources in the area. Denmark has been more than willing to cooperate.
The only reason you spend the political capital to annex Greenland is if you foresee a future where Denmark will not cooperate and may see the US as a strategic threat.
That’s all you need to figure out where all of this is leading.
It’s also about control of the Northwest Passage IMO; that’s why he’s interested in Canada and Greenland.
Euro here. We should bomb Washington asap
USA population: 346m. EU population: 449m, i.e. about 29% higher.

What percentage over the USA domestic market would we need to be to be not “too few”?
