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.

      I see your point, but it’s all talk right now. There’s still US military everywhere, the dollar is still strong, McDonald’s is still selling hamburgers, people are still watching Hollywood movies and TV shows and still subscribing to Netflix.

      I’m not saying actual shunning and sanctioning of America can’t happen, but we’re absolutely nowhere near it right now. People are just yelling, and mostly on the internet.

      Tesla is getting hit, but they’re only one company.

      An actual boycott of America as a whole would be a massive lifestyle change for huge portions of the world and that kind of scale is not where we are at this moment. We’re all just bloviating.
