    I’ve heard one analyst say that the most probable end of all this is just a very bad “deal” for Danemark. Trump and his goons throw the worst things around so people panic and want to negociate, and in the end they accept way worse than they were willing to accept in the first place, while feeling relieved that things didn’t end up worse. It’s what he’s done with Ukraine already.

    No idea if this will be true in the end or if he’s really in to apply Project 2025 to the letter, but it’s good that NATO members fight back at least.

      I think this is often the case with Trump. However, when this does happen, at some point along the way there’s usually hints dropped about what kind of “deal” could be made (like agreeing to buy a bunch of US military equipment). But with Greenland, there has been no indication at all that Trump is interested in budging from full ownership of the island.

        You’re right, it stinks quite bad. Thankfully our militaires probably have until mid-spring or summer to prepare. It would be even more suicidal than it is now for the US to attack in winter.

      Analysts are the last ones to listen to nowadays. They cannot be honest if they even understood. Look at how none even recognized venezuela as a military coup, a deal made with their generals to make them de facto rulers under the us.

      What’s even there to deal on Greenland and Denmark? Denmark is not in any conundrum. If USA invades Greenland, they will lose. There is not even an American public support to invade Greenland. Despite the moral flaws of American military, many US soldiers will feel bad about invading a clearly peaceful and democratic country.

      All this nonsense is Trump’s attempt to distract the people from the Epstein files. That’s how sad Trump and his administration is.

        US troops arent even bothered about invading their own cities and killing people on home soil… what makes you think they would think twice about invading and killing foreigners?

          It’s been reported that the morale of the National Guards and Marines was really low when they were deployed to LA, questioning why they were there to against fellow Americans. Not everyone has the compunction of ICE.
