CONSEQUENCES FOR DUMBASSES: You are an F'ing idiot. If we invade Greenland we go to war with 31 nations. NATO stays together but without us. Its HQ is in Brussels, not the Pentagon. Our global reach across the Atlantic will end with our closest refueling base in Israel or Egypt. 100,000 American soldiers
will be forced to board civil airliners and sent home or be taken as POWs/Detainees WITHOUT WEAPONS OR EQUIPMENT. Canada will close its airspace and sea space. US Ballistic Missile Defense at Pettufik and Fylingdales ENDS, which means we see nothing except what space sensors can see. US Intelligence is reduced to Fort Meade, Ft Gordon and Colorado Springs and Hawaii. CIA spies will be rolled up by their former friends in HOURS. NO ONE WILL SHARE ANYTHING WITH US. ALL GLOBAL SHIPPING WILL BE CLOSED TO US. Denmark operates the largest shipping company in the world. SIX OUT OF TEN global shipping companies are in Europe ... Worlds Biggest container ships? DENMARK!
Australia, NZ, Canada are Commonwealth so they will cut ties with us or be neutral too.
PS Denmark & locals tun all life support and generators at Pittufik and Canada resupplies it ... all 150 US Space force personnel would become POWs to guys on sleds. FYI They have troops there now and 35,000 Caribou hunting rifles.
FYI France and UK have nukes. Hundreds of them so you cannot intimidate them with that.
Oh and they collapse the US economy by sanctioning us and selling off 2.3 Trillion in US treasuries simultaneously. Also no Botox, Ozempic or insulin. Its made in Denmark.
Ya fucking dope.

Given the fact that Greenland does not want to be a state, the population would be unhappy with the party that dragged them into the Union -- the Republican Party -- thus resulting in TWO MORE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND ONE MORE DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE.

(10,997 posts)..filled former Rep. Mike Waltz's vacant seat when tsf appointed Waltz National Security Advisor at the start of tsf's 2.0 reign of terror. Waltz was dumped for Tulsi de Ville and then made Ambassador to the UN. He was my Rep before desantis redrew the map and gave us that morally bereft POS Cory Mills (FL-7). Fine makes Mills look like Mother Teresa. The Florida gop is counting on mid-term elections being canceled. The assault on "entitlement" programs and government decency isn't playing well with Florida seniors. Florida will be purple again in November.

(4,875 posts)I dont know that anyone will do anything except let us do it.
Its not that the things Mr. Nance says couldnt happen, I just dont think they will. I listen to a lot of English news and commentary (LBC and the like) and the predominant opinion seems to be that the UK wont do anything at all. Theyre not willing to send their military to face off against Americans, let alone threaten us with nukes. Its just not going to happen. And fucking up our economy fucks theirs too and all of the G7 countries.
I think if Piss really wants to do this, theres nothing to stop him. And he knows it.
