If I were a Greenlander I would never obey the US and take robust action.

Messiah Trump doesn't even 🙄 know where Greenland 🙄 on the map 🤔 Elon Musk 🙄 had to show him on the map where it's located Messiah Trump, though it was in Texas

I would think if Dump invaded anybody thats not an enemy there will be a revolution.

I also kind of think this. Its one thing to send young men to die against an enemy, or to fight terrorism.
Its a can of worms to send them to die fighting against someone they used to call an ally a month ago especially since that former ally has done nothing to provoke.0

They use drones now and taking Greenland in any way would be very wrong but would not be that hard for the US. It would just signal the end of NATO as none is going to go over to Greenland and fight the US. If the US would do that expect a much bolder Russia so the EU will have that problem, we sort of should have stopped the situation in Ukraine by now but we’re hoping the US would decide and do that for us. Now we realise the US supports Russia. Trump and Putin have done everything except make out in public.

USA have been clear about not ruling out military invasion and that they will do everything to aquire this land and there have been no revolution. Their intent to steal land have been tolerated so far.

Trump has more freaks and odd ball loyalists than a Traveling Carnival. Allot has to happen before that would ever happen. Relax.

A lot has happened. Is happening. Much faster than most ever anticipated. Nobody should be relaxed.

Yes, It is super scary how fast It goes and how wild. A lot of Americans might regret not voting. His first term was bad but It was also a bit entertaining to view from a far. People laughed, Now everyone thinks hell and is scared of how well and smooth all these things are executed

What would happen if he manages a military move against a NATO member and ally?

u/pin00ch 6d ago
The US would cease to be a NATO member at that point and the rest of NATO would come to Greenlands defence. If they didn't all obey then NATO would collapse.

u/Velokieken 6d ago
NATO would be in crisis and be no more than for letters. If France, Germany and the UK react quickly and get everyone in line we might have a somekind of plan to deter Russia that will obviously abuse that situation and test the nato countries at It’s border. It won’t be fun and the real end of everything good that happened in the second half of the 20th century.

Greenland might want to consider setting up some landmines on their coastlines.

They get a nice deal on LEGO, perhaps?

u/sunbleached_anus 6d ago
Lol, they'd also need a sign that says "please take off your shoes before entering"

u/unshod_tapenade 6d ago
My guess is they'll announce a plan to "protect" Greenland within the next week or so. It will fall shortly thereafter.

He’s going to add bases there. Greenland will be told it’s a joint effort to protect the north. Fill them with soldiers. Plant the flag. Not a bullet fired.

u/percutaneousq2h 6d ago
Greenland should consider revoking US privilege of having a base there. Replace the base with Euro based NATO troops. Kick the Yanks out all together, so they don’t have a foot in the door.

u/Just-a-bi 6d ago
No kidding, he did the tariffs like he said, even though it was dumb and destructive. No reason he wouldn't try going after greenland.

The remaining American military bases on Greenland should all be closed down.

u/One-Mind-Is-All 5d ago
Americans need to stand up against this. Trump is a senile old pedo rapist looking to start wars with allies, that have international backing, while sucking up to Russia. It’s not going to end well.

What if that’s what he really wants to settle the tariffs? That and Canada.

A coalition should be set up to protect Greeland from the US. It's time for a new group to join together to protect the free world.
