US Politics

If the US moves on Greenland, it gives China the moral thumbs up to move on Taiwan.
But I suppose the reaction here will be “so what?”.

It's not quite the same as Taiwan has a massive military. Literally millions. Greenland has American bases and Denmark's overall military is not large. I doubt there's even a few hundred Danish troops in Greenland but have no actual information.

There is an argument to get age verification on here looking at the idiotic childish insults that some consistently post.

This is true.

I've been 19 for 36 years now.

It's getting embarrassing at the nightclubs.

It's all about the big boys taking what they can. Ukraine, Taiwan, Greenland.

Who are we to complain when our former empire painted half the known world red........

It took a massive investment into painters and decorators but eventually we managed it.

We painted it with the blood of our enemies, whilst we feasted on the entrails of their women and children. (Lammy Report, 2025).

Trump sabre-rattling with Iran over a new nuclear deal. 4 weeks to go until the deadline for a response, or they'll bomb the hell out of Iran.
I'm amazed they have much weaponry left after all the shipments they've sent to Israel and Saudi Arabia. 🙂
James Vance's trip to Greenland downplayed, although he displayed a stunning lack of courtesy to his hosts by not wearing a suit 🙂

It would produce an interesting dilemma!

Denmark is a NATO member. NATO members are committed to regard an attack on one as an attack on them and to respond collectively.

So the USA would be committed to fighting itself.

Maybe they would need to divide the military along political lines and get things sorted out at home too.

Careful, Becky. You'll be accused of hating Great Britain with talk like that.

No chance - I'm so right wing I have to sit in the middle of any plane I fly on or it goes round in circles....
