If Trump orders a military invasion of Greenland, whose side will you be on: Denmark (and most of the world) or USA?

1. Why would you even ask?

Jeg ville ikke støtte en ulovlig invasion af en NATO-allieret.

2. Can you imagine, a decade down the road,

going to Arlington National Cemetery to view the grave of a young family member who died fighting a war against Venezuela, or Denmark, or Canada? Can you imagine the mix of anger, shame and irony you might feel. Especially if you and your family voted for Trump.

A National Embarrassment is what we are living through.

4. I stand with Denmark and Greenland.

And against Trump, Hitler, Nazis.

6. Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Good one!

7. What if the US and Denmark are on the same side, and it's Donald Trump who's at odds with reality? NT

[Volaris]

11. Probably this. Treaties carry the weight of Law, and im pretty sure that

INVADING A NATO ALLY is pretty fucking high up on the 'Don't do that, that's an illegal order' list.

9. If he gets away with giving $100k to each person in Greenland it will divide

the people enough that Trump will get Greenland. They are just like most other humans everyone
is for sale at the right price.

10. Greenland can't be "sold" without Denmark's consent.

He can offer cash to the Greenlanders to get them to vote for independence, but the way the arrangement with Denmark is set up is that Greenland can't unilaterally remove itself from Denmark. Since Denmark funds Greenland's social programs, which include health care and other benefits the people wouldn't get as US citizens, those bribes wouldn't go very far if Greenland became a territory of the US (and it would be just a territory like Puerto Rico or Guam, with exactly zero electoral votes).

[Doodley]

12. Good point. He will try to divide Greenlanders, but should they decide? If a majority in a US state wanted

secession, or they wanted to be ruled by Russia, do we let them?
