What are we going to do if Rump attacks Greenland?! This is feeling not "if," but "when," just like Venezuela.

[LaMouffette]

And I wonder if Rump is more than just a useful idiot to Putin, but an actual Russian agent. What would delight Putin more than a war between the US and Europe? Nothing!

1. Get the body bags ready

the walrus hunters use a large caliber loads and don't just knick the ear.

[LuckyCharms]

2. We are going to suffer.

We won't be worried about a civil war anymore.

We will be worrying about a world war.

And Europe will destroy us economically.

[Aussie105]

3. Trump is off on his own World Domination crusade.

I'm guessing different NATO countries will send troops to Greenland so any invasion by the US will be considered a declaration of war.

How far that will then go is up to Trump.

Might just make Europe recognise the US as it is currently as a rogue state and cut off all diplomatic and trade ties.

Who the biggest loser will be then is yet to be seen.

[Bread and Circuses]

4. Nothing . Most People and legislators have accepted the fascism .... not us and many others

Fascism is here. There’s no Force to stop it domestically

We’ll have to wait 3 - 4 years if NATO decides to fight fascists again.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. If I were the Democrats, I'd be in heavy consult with our NATO allies.

Let Trump think he's "won" in Greenland. Keep focused on Ukraine and Putin's Russia. Let Trump start a civil war in the US that exposes this naked aggression as illegal.

What does Trump "win" in Greenland? Not much, but Europe should not take the bait. When the pendulum swings, we will return Greenland, After we finally deliver justice to this moron.

[LaMouffette]

8. Excellent suggestions. I hope our former presidents Obama, Biden, Clinton, and George W. are consulting with them, too,

as well as with trusted current and former US military leaders.

This is effing nuts! You would think the threat of war with Europe would be enough to make Repubs in Congress finally, finally stop this insanity, but apparently they really are cool with fascism and World War III.

[kacekwl]

6. Is the republican congress really

going to allow the US to go to war with our European allies ? Is anyone asking them. I'd be curious to hear their answer on the record, everyone of them. Make them explain why and what the consequences will be. You know standard news reporting.

7. He is at least a Russian asset

which could mean he works for Russia while being too stupid to know it.

[LaMouffette]

10. Rump is loyal to no one but his own wretched self. And, inexplicably, he believes he is always the smartest person in

the room. I wouldn't be surprised if Rump believes he is in a secret, and very clever, partnership with Putin that will make him, Rump, the richest, most powerful man in the world.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

16. Yep, back in the days of the Soviet Union, he would've been as a useful idiot. nt

9. If we attack a NATO country, technically we obliged to come to Greenland's aid.

I suspect someone at the Pentagon has made an attack plan for Merde-a-Lardo.

[Norrrm]

11. Greenland has a hunting culture. How soon will Trump confiscate their guns?

[Mysterian]

12. House & Senate Democratic leaders send strongly worded letters

condemning the attack without the authorization of Congress.

[mr715]

13. Well, no, not yet.

They first must form a committee to ensure the wording is appropriate and doesn't violate any longstanding norms of comity and decorum.

[Jack Valentino]

14. Now that various other NATO members are sending troops to Greenland as a deterrent,

I don't believe that will happen.... It would necessitate attacking the troops of the UK, France, Germany as well as the Danish...

That has to be a bridge too far, even for Trump---
and the people around him are evil, but I don't believe they are that utterly stupid....
Even Republican senators are pushing back against this Greenland shit-talking stupidity---
and the military knows that this is an ally---

Can't help but think there would be significant push-back from the military
if Trump tried to give such an order.

In the end he is still a bully--- and bullies tend to back down when they are confronted with any strength.
All his threatening talk is just an attempt to get his way by intimidation-- which is what bullies do.

Remember T.A.C.O. ?? I'm betting on that being the result here.

15. You really should read this post (lays out the potential blow back very well).

17. What is Europe going to do?

Some have suggested they won't kick US bases out of their country or dissolve NATO...

Literally, someone has to show a backbone. It just can't be mothers and bystanders. Someone on the world stage has to have big boy pants.

[Initech]

18. If Chump attacks Greenland, the US is done as a country.

We lose all NATO support, we lose all international support. All our international bases will be closed. Soldiers will be captured. It will be a shit show.
