"We don't want to be Americans. No, we don't want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders," said Jens-Frederik Nielsen of the island's Demokraatit party.
Just your daily reminder that the President of the United States is a raving lunatic who, were it not for an accident of birth, would right now be sitting in the corner of a seedy bar somewhere mumbling toothlessly into a beer.
He’s a raving lunatic with the most powerful army in the world at his disposal, who has threatened to annex multiple sovereign states - and no checks or balances.
Good luck keeping that military fueled, fed and maintained for more than a couple of months when embargoes start to hit and your resource supplies stop flowing in from the countries he's pissing off.
Assume he would, what do y'all think will happen? Technically I guess all NATO countries should defend Greenland, which means war with the US, which means kick-starting WW3. On the other hand, if the US attacks NATO is there even an alliance left? I think there might very well be countries who, when faced with the option of cowardice or war with the US, will say "fuck it, NATO is void and we really don't want to be nuked over Greenland".
If at all possible, I'd really love it if we can postpone WW3 until after I'm dead.
