Defending Greenland would be as unpopular in Europe as attacking it would be in the US. But if push came to shove, the US could achieve air superiority in Greenland in about a day, and European troops would have no choice but to retreat off the island. It’s nice to think about the EU “resisting”, but it’s tough to resist against Tomahawk missles and F-35s. |
Greenland is already secure. What you are describing is an invasion of America troops who were not invited nor wanted. |
Stephen, go back to the white house and placate your boss. |
and if this happen, US citizens will no longer be welcome in the EU, NATO dissolved and we would stand on the precipice of a global war with nuclear parties on both sides. the US will lose its largest trading partners in Europe, Canada and Mexico, bringing the US economy to a standstill. |
Macron - Trump please, think of the brown people we can bomb together!

lol, I read the last line quickly as “felate your boss” but I guess they mean the same thing. |
BAE might have an F-35 kill switch embedded in the software. |
Europe knows it can withstand hardship and prevail. The US does not have that experience. Just imagine the absolute chaos within the US when European holders of US debt and equity dump a combined 11 trillion. And do you think China and Russia will stand idly by while the US is wracked by paroxysms of economic upheaval? No. they will contribute to the dumping. |

Trump amplifies post that says NATO — not China or Russia — is part of the “real threat” to America.
https://bsky.app/profile/kyledcheney.bsky.social/post/3mcukmk55th2r It is 1984, and the shift amongst who our friends are and who we are at war with is about to shift. I am eagerly awaiting MAGA spouting off about how Russia has always been our friend and we are at war with Europe and always have been. |
Sure, but that's a military hypothetical that's almost irrelevant. If we're using Tomahawks and F-35's against NATO/Europe, then planting a flag over Greenland is going to the FAR AND AWAY LEAST of our worries. |
Nuclear war over Greenland? No. |

Yes they will fight. Especially when the US military rolls out of the US military base in Greenland killing UK, French, Denmark, etc soldiers and civilians. If you see the US use a military base in an allied country to invade and take over that country what do you think Nato will do? You think the European couldn’t take back European US bases by force? The 100,000 US troops would not stand a chance and the US will lose all the pre positioned equipment in Europe and bases around the world. If you take Greenland you now have Canada as an enemy state. How are you going to track ICBM without Canada? How are you going to track the Russian nuclear submarines’ missiles? The US does not even have an icebreaker fleet needed to deploy in arctic. The Soviet Union won the war against Germany in ww2. The US invade Italy in September 1943. By that time the Soviets had beaten the Germans in Stalingrad by February of 1943 and destroyed the Germans at Kursk in July of 1943. By August the German military had about 3.8 million troops on the eastern front. The Soviets had 12 million plus and growing with superior equipment and production. |
It will definitely devastate our economy. MAGA somehow do not care about our economy. |
If the US tries to use force, it will be WWIII and the US will be the odd man out. |
