Showing Original Post only (View all)I don't post chatty opiners. Nance has the chops to know what he is talking about. This is worth your time. [View all]
I recently posted a condensed version of Nance's list of consequences which would result from an invasion of Greenland. I was pooh poohed by a number of replies. Maybe if we hear from an expert the message will get through.
What's the message? An attack on Greenland will have devastating consequences for the United States. The Danish pension fund AkademikerPension dumping their Treasury bills is just a taste of things to come even if there is no invasion. Trump made fun of Danish dog sleds. He has no idea that Denmark is an economic power house. Don't trifle with the Norse men.

Okay. I hear you. I get it. Some hypotheticals are close to reality, and this could happen.

I do understand your consideration of the law. I was in the process of saying exactly what you said regarding treaties.

Re the CIA, are you referring to Nance? Because he's not. He's former military.

Years ago I tried telling MAGA relatives about the NATO nations that lost troops for us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Out in Middle America, it's more about the radio than TV. Years of Rush Limbaugh and other Sinclair Networks crap.

From Junior year HS til my mid 30s I lived without a TV. Now I mainly watch news, Kimmel, Netflix, Paramount+, AMC.
