      EU today: So Ukraine. You did great work with the Russian Navy. How much does it cost to sink the USA Navy if they get too close to Greenland?

    I only read about how Nazis took inspiration from US, but now you can see it first hand about the why.

    Their leaders are invading and threatening to invade sovereign nations, but the majority don’t really care about it and are flooding the zone with “Epstein” deflection like the world revolves around US.

    This combination of evil and retarded is a recipe for disaster.

        There’s only like 2 months of the year where an invasion would even be possible. The weather is just too cold outside of that.

        So they would have to launch the invasion and secure their position in 4 weeks. If they fail everyone freezes to death, if they don’t get their ships out in time they’ll be frozen in, wind speeds are usually too high even when it is warm enough for a helicopter to fly so everything’s got to be ground-based and despite having a very large military the US only has around 500 cold weather trained personnel.

        It really isn’t anywhere near the foregone conclusion that everyone seems to think it will be.

        The country also only has one airport, bomb or otherwise incapacitate that and now they can’t air drop supplies.

          Bring in some finns and they can sniper them out one by one.

          The biggest problem of course would be the global fallout everywhere else. The whole point of globalism is that countries become so interdependent that war is too damaging economically. So they don’t. So either many economies collapse or the whole world becomes more war friendly overnight.

          Like breaking international law in iraq. Then Ukraine. Then Gaza. Then Venezuela. Its progressively eating away at norms.

            Yup… which was fine to do because both the US and Denmark are NATO allies. Wait… what is it the US gains from invading Greenland again? Seems like the US can do everything it wants to do by just maintaining the status quo.

            Oh, right a deranged old man has a map and a box of crayons and wants to use a different colour crayon.

            Yeah because currently no one is trying to stop you.

            You don’t seem to understand how a war works.
