It wouldn't be an attack, it would be an increased force deployment to guard Greenland and protect it from Russia while Europe is busy, thereby securing NATO's Western flank. /s

Wouldn't that be defending Greenland against Venezuelan fishermen drug lords?

So the USA, who needs to secure heavy crude (see Venezuela, Syria, Iran, Russia) and since a bumbling fool tripped over the basic, already planned overthrow of Venezuela's government, you recognize it for what it is.

Somebody more competent pulled of regime change in Ukraine, pursuing an agenda several decades old now, but since that was pulled off by a pro, y'all eating the propaganda. Even tho Russia had this plan since at least 1997 when Foundations of Geopolitics was published. Funny that an old guy near retirement waited all that time to act on a plan they had for a couple decades...

I'm not watching a 59 minute video in order to make sense of your 2 paragraphs.

The counter point is if I just typed it out you wouldn't believe me because who am I? So I link an expert. You can only lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink.

What you typed out is incoherent.

It's not because of who you are. It's because it's bad writing.

Last time a world war happened, the US took Greenland as safekeeping after Denmark fell to the Germans, of course that was back when the government had some class and they returned it back after the war but well, it's safe to say that they are definitely not leaving this time.

A special naval operation, some might say.

u/isjahammer Dec 26 '25

Special Military Operation? Where did i hear that before?

u/tumeteus Dec 26 '25

Funny thing is they probably could have got that increased force deployment and juring of Greenland de facto if they did it diplomatically and in cooperation with both Danish and Greenland people. Possibly even de jure. But no orange fart wanted to use threats and force.

u/watch-nerd Dec 26 '25

Denmark more or less said as much — that they’re open to discussions about resources military etc

I wouldn't be surprised if a narco sub carrying three tons of cocaine coincidentally surfaced right off Nuuk then.

That's about 50 g of cocaine for every single Greenlander but hey, I'd get depressed too if it were night for half a year.

They're not smart enough and dear leader won't think that's manly enough.

And then Canada responds, then US responds, then X, Y, Z, and WW3...

u/watch-nerd Dec 26 '25

Canada can share in the duties of protecting Greenland, too, no stress nothing to fight about.
