In reply to the discussion: This sounds like a good plan if Trump invades Greenland. [View all]flashman13
(2,050 posts)47. If the military shows up at the Treasury and instructs the workers inside to issue paychecks, they will issue checks.
Of course that's a coup which will be staged in defense of the Constitution, NATO and world stability. That is how dangerous Trump is. He doesn't have to nuke the world to crash it. His insatiable thirst for power can crash everything with one intemperate move if the military lets him have his way. We just saw during the Covid pandemic how delicate world stability really is. Also remember it is only American power, coupled with NATO and our Asian allies, that keeps China and Russia from running amok.
I guarantee that if it comes to a choice between Trump's crazy shit or stability under the military, the bankers are going to back the military. I know that sounds beyond crazy. But that is how close we really are to the edge of chaos.

His goal is to use Greenland as a proxy to dissolve NATO. That's his intent.

I just want to mention that the military doesn't have to do anything that it doesn't want to do.

Of course they could take Nuuk in an hour. Then we are at war with NATO and Europe.

Actually I'm somewhat optimistic there. I think we could reestablish a functioning democratic government fairly quickly.

Your local paper sounds like the right-wing rag near us. I canceled it after years of being a subscriber.

It's a conservative-leaning paper. I've canceled it and resubscribed a few times over the years.
