[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There could be a silver lining to Trump's deciding he wants Greenland.  If trump persists in his attempt to steal Greenland then I believe there are enough Republicans in the House to impeach and enough votes in the Senate to convict.

For this reason, Trump will not invade Greenland.[/quote]

I think this is correct. There are enough Republicans in the Senate who recognize that invading a NATO country and taking Greenland by force will be catastrophic for the US - from losing all our bases in Europe to the end of the US dollar as the reserve currency to the collapse of the American economy because no one is buying our $39 trillion of debt and on and on. 80 years of post-WWII American dominance would disappear in a heartbeat. And for what? The US is welcome to put more bases and air defense in Greenland right now.

Furthermore, if Trump does order the invasion of Greenland, I suspect there are very few senior military officers who will actually obey that order. Every American officer knows how insane this is and how contrary it is to U.S. national security.

Given all that, Trump is almost certainly to be impeached if he gives the order to take Greenland. Not even conservatives support such stupidity.

But the fact that Trump is pushing this so hard raises very serious questions. Trump is either far too deranged and demented to be president, or he is in fact a Russian agent.

No. You made a great case for why the US shouldn't grab Greenland, but you're wrong on this. The GOP has not effectively restrained Trump on anything of importance so far. There is no reason to believe they will do so now. There is no reason to believe anyone in the Army will resist. You will notice that individuals RESIGN rather than obey orders. There cannot be enough resignations for an invasion not to take place, if one is ordered. There are too many people who will just blindly follow regardless of what the orders are: remember ICE and how it operates. Remember the "normal" Germans who did what they were told.

Our hope is that with sufficient global and domestic outcry, this White House will back off.
