The U.S. is eyeing Greenland while Russia continues to carve up Ukraine. I believe the US will place soldiers on Greenland in an attempt to annex it. I think it will likely happen before Trump’s term ends.

If (hopefully not when) the U.S. pressures Ukraine into accepting a bad deal with both Washington and Moscow for “peace”, will they leverage that outcome—along with the Greenland situation—to further erode European sovereignty?

Europe cannot realistically fend off the US on Greenland? And certainly not while being pressured by both Russia and the US on different fronts? I am so fucking glad Europe got nukes.

    The US already has soldiers on Greenland as part of the Space Farce Force. I’m sure you mean an occupying force though, and that voting block tends to be isolationist but they also change on a whim ao who knows.

    I can’t see popular support for war efforts to invade other countries to expand US territory going over well. I also see a huge blowback from NATO and while the US has a lot of range the main reason for it to project that is because our two massive borders are currently friendly nations. If the US pisses off NATO, it would need to defend all the borders at the same time because Mexico might not be part of NATO but it sure wouldn’t have our back.

    We can beat up small middle eastern countries, but that is also because there isn’t a multinational counteroffensive. Plus Russia has blown their cover on just how shitty and incompetent their military actually is, so while they could do a lot of damage with wave tactics, they are already so desperate for human wave fodder that they hit up North Korea.

    Russia might cause truble, but it won’t be carving anything up. The US is going to shoot itself in the dick if it pisses off NATO because the public hates long, drawn out wars.

    The US and Russia might try anyway, but it won’t be something they win.
