We would be on the other side today. |
Wrong, England was running out of money, no way they control this entire country. Would have just taken longer. Plus, your taking about massive differences in men, equipment, and lives lost. |
No, we ARE on the other side today. |
He was talking about acquiring Greenland during his first term. And Russia and China have made great strides in hypersonic missile technology that brings new urgency to the need for a robust missile defense system to protect the United States, of which Greenland is an essential component. |
We already have a base there. |
So he’s afraid of Russia and China but he’s ceding all power in the world, economically, to China, while inviting Russia to his Temu NATO Pedo Lardo Club and leaking intelligence on Ukraine to Russia? |
There are so many silly angles to this. They are letting a mentally incompetent leader in the US set the world back decades because…? I still can’t figure out why. I mean, besides money. |
The Soviet's didn't have the military might of Germany in that era and were only able to overcome the German march to Moscow due to Germany attempting to fight wars on two fronts. Europe, with or without the help of the US, could have fought off a Soviet invasion much more easily than what they were dealing with from Nazi Germany. |
+10000000000000000 This is so stupid. |
You are just doubling down on proving you're an idiot. "Without the direct and indirect assistance of France, it is doubtful that Americans could have won the war for independence. From 1776 to 1783 France supplied the United States with millions of livres in cash and credit. France also committed 63 warships, 22,000 sailors and 12,000 soldiers to the war, and these forces suffered relatively heavy casualties as a result. The French national debt incurred during the war contributed to the fiscal crisis France experienced in the late 1780s, and that was one factor that brought on the French Revolution. In the end, the French people paid a high price for helping America gain its independence." https://www.jyfmuseums.org/learn/research-and-collections/essays/how-did-the-french-alliance-help-win-american-independence |

Lavrov: “If Greenland is ‘U.S. security,’ then Crimea is ‘Russian security.’”
Russia predictably using this as cover. Putin is pleased. (H/T @allenanalysis ) |
God I wish. We fought for the wrong side. |
Whatever, you skipped the part about England running out of money. And the difference in lives lost. Doesn’t fit your narrative, right? And I didn’t even mention WWI. US has sacrificed 10000x over for what France has done. Only someone who inherently hates this country would take your position. You should just leave and live with your beloved Europeans. |

Can we get back to Greenland?
Denmark is being unreasonable here. Denmark does not need Greenland for its national security, as the missile threat from Russia to Denmark does not pass over Greenland. (Not to mention, the United States has provided security for Denmark for the last 80 years.) Denmark is a tiny country located on a different continent entirely and is not capable of establishing a missile defense system to protect the United States. The USA cannot spend the required trillions on a missile defense system in Greenland in to protect America if that system is contingent on the permission of another country. Denmark doesn't need Greenland. We've been standing up defending the Free World for decades and now that we need something to protect ourselves our so-called "ally" is denying us. Make it make sense. |
