The UK only had to send a single officer to Greenland to stop Trump's previous attempt to annex Greenland. That was a signal, thankfully there are still adults in the USA who recognised it.

And he's just making a grill scrubber. I just ordered a bunch of drone parts. The majority of those part were only available from China.
If you want: motors, ESCs, flight controllers and radios those can be sourced from outside of China, and competitively priced too (if you're in Europe, outside you'd still have to add taxes).

Dunno, start by reading the national security strategy and count the number of times it mentions the words "Arctic" or "Greenland"? (hint: it's zero). Then maybe look at the Nato chain of command and who was interviewed and what was said in mid-Jan?

Did that US really exist without a self imposed convenience of blindness ? The brutality of the School of Americas might indicate otherwise. Now rebranded as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere_Institute_f...
That's a tough question. There has always been a meddlesome quality to the USA that the rest of the so called developed world turned a blind eye to. Along the lines of 'their bastards, but at least they're our bastards'. Of course that does not make it good, but the balance calculation worked out in favor of toeing the line and being careful not to get pulled out of joint too much. 9/11 changed all that and effective…
Bay of Pigs, regime changes all over including Iran, South Asia wars, Afghanistan (not the recent one, the one in the 80s), all the cold war stuff, etc etc.

Starting illegal wars and engaging in extreme corruption, for starters.
The war isn't illegal. The president has that power. I don't like it either, but since the Korean War this is simply a statement of fact.
You're going to have to specify a framework if you want to make statements about legality.

Lots of us were, but we were mostly shouted down as being hysterical for warning that fascism was coming.
The people who said that are still saying it. Few minds appear to have really changed. Everyone just believes the same positions, harder.

Yeah tbf I wouldn't underestimate Eastern Europe. The drone industry there must be booming nowadays, pun not intended.

It is on the table, why are you spouting bullshit? People are discussing this right now. Or do you mean Denmark wont help at Hormuz, but I doubt Denmark would help there anyway, but other countries are discussing that. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-military-i...
Sending experts to the US to "help" and sending warships to an active war zone are not the same thing. > Starmer refuses to send warships to Strait of Hormuz. PM rejects Trump’s call for reinforcements to stave off mounting economic crisis > France will never take part in operations to unblock Hormuz Strait amid hostilities, says Macron > European countries reject Trump’s call for help to reopen strait of Hormuz > Th…
On the table doesn't mean it is already decided they will send anything.
Of course they were. The United States has never before damaged its own reputation in Europe as much as they did in the last 12 months. And the same goes for Canada, possibly worse. You don't go around threatening your allies unless you really have plans and that's why you don't elect senile old guys to positions of power.

Specific examples: Francis Lowell stealing British Loom designs in 1800.
Bessemer steel process replicas. Bell vs European Telephone patents.
Radio: Marconi was initially backed in the US then Bell filed the patents.
Operation Paperclip and all that entails (thousands of German patents invalidated and filed in the US).
