If Putin wants no NATO then all he has to do is get his poodle, Trump, to invade Greenland …
“If they invade Greenland, they invade Nato,” says Svane. “So that’s where it stops. Article 5 would have to be triggered. And if a Nato country invades Nato then there’s no Nato.”
“He’s saying it’s legitimate for us to take this piece of land,” he says. “If we take him really seriously this is a bad omen for the whole of the Western alliance.”
Something tells me the people of Taiwan also better be prepared for the coming 4 years. Trump is liable to just hand it over to china on a whim.
It really wouldn’t be the end of NATO. Greece and Turkey have had numerous spats while both NATO countries. An Article 5 resolution can be vetoed by any other NATO member. The US would assuredly do this.
A much more worrying possibility would be Denmark specifically withdrawing from or reducing cooperation with NATO. Forget Greenland, Denmark itself is in a very strategic location, considering its place in the Baltic.
Article 5 also has provisions to prevent starting the same political mess of WW1
Stupid MAGA fucks can’t have a moment of reflection and ask why the fuck do we need Greenland? Why are we starting new problems?
Arctic trade routes and newly uncovered natural resources.
Uh, stealing or coercing a country into becoming part of the USA for that is worth it? Fuck that how about we work out trade deals that are mutually beneficial. Unless the whole point is that MAGA wants to rob and steal like the good old colonial days…
Assholes
This is crazy. A global power like US trying to take Greenland by force will most certainly trigger a world war.
Or not, given how apathetic everyone is nowadays.
