If the EU is good at one thing, its definitely putting out statements.

Don't worry, you're either arguing with useful idiots or pathetic SOBs working in a propaganda unit in russia.

This comment shows why the damage done by Trump will be so hard to reverse, no matter who's in charge next. When Trump talks about taking Greenland, the answer should be "no, moron, it's effectively a part of NATO", and instead you get all this muddying analysis of the strategic signifficance of Greenland, history, and how the EU is weak.

As a US citizen resident of Finland, I am proud of my adoptive country. I have been so far relatively neutral-to- vaguely-supportive of MAGA wrt the culture wars, and I find Trump's posturing on Greenland appalling and disgraceful.

Apparently the right to port arms doesn't apply to take down dictorships. We all know they fall down by showing painted signs at street demos. /s

don't forget the pink hats and furry costumes

While you're remembering things you shouldn't forget, pay attention to how the Black Panthers are out in Philadelphia, and ICE isn't messing around over here. We chased those Patriot Front clowns out immediately, too.

But yeah, focus on the peaceful citizens making their voices heard, if that makes you feel more secure about how things are going.

Russia can barely hold its own in a war against a neighboring country 30x smaller than them. Do people really still think they are a threat on the global stage anymore? China, yes, but their tactic is economic rather than military. And they are already winning in that front considering how dependent the rest of the world is on their manpower and manufacturing.

It's pretty clear that going forward the only real military threat the rest of the world has to concern itself with is the USA.

Unfortunately our federal government is more than powerful enough to take Greenland and mow us all down. I am genuinely sorry that Atlanticism came down to a few hundred thousand of the dumbest Midwesterners we could find.

Don't the Americans have the second amendment to save themselves from their government?

The truth is that on average Republicans have way more guns that Democrats.

Anecdata but… I’ve personally known many Republicans who have massive gun collections and even personal shooting ranges in their basement. I’ve never met a Democrat with any of that.

Only one side of this conflict is meaningfully armed and they are already in power.
