US President Donald Trump's administration has issued an ultimatum to countries seeking permanent membership in his new Board of Peace, requiring a cash contribution of at least US$1 billion.
Any nation that joins this farcical board makes itself a vassal to the US. I kinda expect random small nations with low stakes in the UN to go for it, to suck up to tRump and try to curry favor. For them, becoming a vassal will be moving up in the world. But any self-respecting European nation needs to double down on its commitments to Europe.
Who becomes chairman when trump leaves office? The next US president, a senior member of the board, or is it a position for life? Or is he so convinced that he’ll never leave office that he didn’t bother describing that in the charter?
He’s trying to make himself chancellor king of the world.
Also Europe having a few dozen soldiers on Greenland is more of a deterrent. It says “you attack here, you’re attacking all of us,” and it also acts as an assurance to Denmark that the other nations will respond if something happens. Since Article 5 wouldn’t apply if attacked by another NATO country…
He’s fucking delusional.
The next 90 days will decide if the EU is a puppet state of the US.
By the soldier count on Greenland right now, it’s lookin kinda sus. They couldn’t defend a movie theater rn.
