Look at what Trump has done.

15. Not so fast

Upper brass have real legal qualms about invading Greenland. This isn’t a “legal” snatch and grab like Maduro. There is some pushback against Kegsbreath and Miller.

NATO is on its last legs. Recent Chump admin national strategy plan has it leaving the organization in 2027.

EU is going its own way and they’ll be the better for it. They’re already beginning to box out future US military purchases for Ukraine and they’ve begun pulling back their intel sharing from the US.

The EU already has a larger arctic presence than the US. Putting more troops there now is smart and draws a line in the sand.

Troops in that area of the world train in that harsh environment. Our troops have only recently begun training with the Finns and Swedes in that winter cold.

And as Nance pointed out in his heated post, there’s still a lot the EU could do.

Either way, I don’t think this is going to be an easy in and out, militarily or otherwise. We’ll see who has the stomach for this conflict once troops start dying.

But this “it’s all over but the shoutin” is off the mark.

The Danes have already said they will fire on anybody that enters their territory, and they’re motivated. Once the shooting starts, no telling how it’ll go.

Russkies thought they had a cakewalk with Ukraine, didn’t they?

Besides, we’re the bad guys in this, I want to see us get our noses good and bloodied. Wipe the smug expression off of American arrogance.

Last years of my life living in a fascist country.

What a timeline indeed.
