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.
less than 5% of Americans support using economic strong-arming, and less than 1% support military force for Greenland or Canada (source below). Annexing is overwhelming unpopular for both conservatives and liberals. The people, including people in the military, will revolt if Trump uses force to annex any country. And the people of Canada and Greenland have made it very very clear: force will be necessary.
No comment from me about the rest. Expectations can be bad but keep them in check.

They don’t seem overly concerned with public opinion or the possibility they might be removed from power by the vote.
likely, they are banking on us to revolt so they can deploy the military domestically.
If the whole thing seems like unchecked expectations - so did the dissolution of NATO prior to 2016.
