Now Greenland

[PAL]

I love, love, love this video. It has been sent to many friends.

Also, Lawrence O'Donnell has pointed out that Greenland is a distraction from what is really taking place. The ACA subsidies and how many people have already lost their health insurance. He says, don't pay attention to the Greenland debacle. That's what the admin. wants.
Although... if the US does something really foolish, like trying to buy Greenland for billions of $ that could help the American people. Greenland has said it is not for sale. Or military action? We are already set up there and can function already.

Iran has closed its airspace. American citizens are being evac'd from Qatar, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada are sending troops to Greenland and now Macron adds France's solidarity

"BREAKING: French President Emanuel Macron throws down the gauntlet to Trump and announces that his nation's military will join joint exercises in Greenland alongside Denmark and other allies.
All of Europe is rising up against MAGA now...
"At the request of Denmark, I have decided that France will participate in the joint exercises organized by Denmark in Greenland, Operation Arctic Endurance. The first French military elements are already on their way. Others will follow," Macron wrote on X.
"We do not underestimate statements on Greenland," Macron stated elsewhere. "If the sovereignty of a European country and ally were to be affected, the knock-on effects would be unprecedented. France is monitoring the situation very closely and will act in full solidarity with Denmark and its sovereignty."
Earlier today, Germany also announced that they will be sending troops to Greenland as part of a reconnaissance mission with other European nations as Trump escalates his saber-rattling rhetoric towards the Arctic island. The joint European mission was requested especially by Denmark, of which Greenland is an autonomous territory.
"The aim is to explore the framework conditions for possible military contributions to support Denmark in ensuring security in the region," stated the German Defense Ministry.
“Security in the Arctic is of crucial importance to the Kingdom and our Arctic allies, and it is therefore important that we, in close cooperation with allies, further strengthen our ability to operate in the region,” stated Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
“The Danish Defense Forces, together with several Arctic and European allies, will explore in the coming weeks how an increased presence and exercise activity in the Arctic can be implemented," he added.
Denmark will also be deploying additional aircraft, naval assets, and ground troops in and around Greenland as part of the increased training and exercises.
It cannot be overstated what a horrifying state of affairs America now finds itself in. Our closest allies are now preparing to repel a possible invasion of a NATO member all because Trump fancies himself a conqueror. His imperialist dreams are those of a child with no real understanding of the world. The U.S. doesn't need to seize Greenland because there is already no limit to the amount of military assets we are permitted to station there. This is about grandstanding. Trump is desperate to carve out a legacy as his domestic policies implode.
As for the MAGA supporters who are mindlessly braying in support of Trump's aggression, bragging that the United States would win if it came to war with Europe, they are completely missing the point. With an increasingly expansionist Russia and an ascendent China, America needs its European allies now more than ever. Regardless of how this Greenland debacle resolves, Trump has permanently damaged our most crucial alliances.

Crimea is Ukrainian. Greenland is Danish. Venezuela is Venezuelan, and Trump is an idiot.

Thought T wanted to abandon NATO. Paying islanders $100,000 each? MAGA needs to wake up. This is how they are being treated. No money for them.

This is a war we will certainly lose. And those eighty thousand servicemembers in NATO countries will all be prisoners of war.

""6-7" (pronounced "six seven") is a popular internet slang term and meme, especially among Generation Alpha, that is largely nonsensical and has no fixed meaning. The point of the expression is its very absurdity, which makes it an inside joke that helps young people signal group belonging and confuse older generations."

You are nonsensical and have no fixed meaning

You really look stupid (and old!) when you consistently use a youthful reference incorrectly! You get em boomer.

I wouldn't be surprised if nearly all senior officers resigned if we committed to military operations against Greenland or Canada.

Great by Jim Wright.
Ah, but other nations tremble when the US wants something. Maybe not so this time? Questions at the end-who does benefit? Not the everyday, US citizen, working their behinds off. On the backs of...
When will the pitchforks come out?
In an interivew, on a Fox channel, T said he was going to bomb Mexico, where the cartels are. Those guys are probalby moving around all the time. You know they have a grapevine and connections in the US. The cartels are indeed bad. But bombing Mexico, trying to pin point where they are?
But the accerlerationists want all that the questions ask to happen. The plan.
And where is Jonathan Ross? Our own gov't may take him out because he is now a liability. Someone else comes to mind with the initials JE.

Jim Wright:

"“If you take it [Greenland], we take every single base of the Americans from Aviano to Ramstein, from Romania, to all the other military bases will be confiscated, and you will lose it, and the whole position of American power since World War II, if you take Greenland, you have to leave,”
-- Gunther Fehlinger, Austria's NATO committee chair
Any attempt to take Greenland (and there's no guarantee we could actually take and hold it, especially against an alliance of multiple nations) would result in a complete loss of EVERY OTHER EUROPEAN BASE. We have over 80 years of investment in those facilities, trillions upon trillions of dollar. We'd lose access to every runway and port in Europe. Nearly every US OPLAN is built around use of those facilities from logistics to repair to communications to command and control to intelligence to weather prediction to fueling to reaction time to power projection.
Hell, US military planning for defending GREENLAND depends in large part on NATO assets and access to European bases and resources.
We might even, and it's increasingly likely that we would, lose access Canadian facilities, assets, airspace, and waters. You could potentially be looking at a collapse of NORAD.
Loss of those facilities, loss of those allies and alliances, would be a catastrophic disruption of military planning and a monumental reduction of US capability to project global military and political power. The North Sea, the Arctic, the Baltic, the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Black Sea, the Suez Canal, the impact and second order effects can't even be measured at the moment.
That's what Trump is risking for Greenland -- a landmass we ALREADY have military access to. A landmass that American companies can already invest in for resource harvesting -- just as they can enter into business arrangements with any other nation for oil, mining, and etc.
Who benefits?
No, really, that's not rhetorical. WHO does it benefit?
When Trump destroys NATO, who benefits?
When Trump convinces Americans to refuse vaccination and America is increasingly vulnerable to disease, who benefits?
When Trump declares Americans themselves as enemies, as terrorists, as unamerican, and turns violent force on the citizens, who benefits?
When Trump imposes tariffs, destroys trade, crashes the economy, and drives up unemployment, who benefits?
When Trump incites civil war, when Trump attacks US states, when Trump divides us, who really benefits?
Who benefits.
Answer that question and you know who Trump really works for -- whether HE knows or not."
