The EU are toothless, and I don’t think they would actually do much outside of a few half-hearted condemnations. Without the empire, the EU are nothing, and would get annihilated by Russia and China. Hell, even with the US they would have a really bad time. The EU are posturing against the US now, but when it comes down to it, I don’t think they would risk a full on confrontation with the US if they were to try to annex Greenland. What are your thoughts?
“Would”? I’m sitting at 85% sure usa will.
The response will not be kinetic of course but I think they will give a fullhearted condemnation. I think they will take legal actions. It might even start the breakup of nato even if it won’t be immediate. I think Europe will be seeing the parallels to the the nazis and start trying to figure out what to do.
The part of me that thinks a Greenland annexation by the US is likely says it’s because they’re riding the high of kidnapping the president of a socialist country.
The part of me that thinks the US won’t do it says that there are too many top Military brass who are displeased enough with Hegseth, et al. and believe in the project of NATO enough, that the shoot down the idea and refuse to go along.
The CIA has the ability to cut the top brass out. The general in charge of southcom stepped down because the CIA’s Special Activities Center was calling shots that he didn’t authorize.
