If the EU is good at one thing, its definitely putting out statements.
The real message would be to pull out of the world cup.
Even if that happened I don’t think the USA would have a shot at the trophy.

"We'll see how long the US economy is going to last when it can't even fund its own government." This is fantasy thinking, projection of a subjective wish. The dollar is the global reserve currency and is under no serious threat to be displaced (and no, the dollar dropping back to where it was a couple of years ago vs the Euro, is not a meaningful event). The US economy is by far the world's largest and now dwarfs th…
The US economy is currently to overwhelming extent a bunch of tech companies betting hard on that AI will revolutionize everything. With huge circular economy. Once that bubble bursts, you'll see where you really stand

The US used to have multiple military bases in Greenland during the Cold War. It has closed most of them and is down to one.
It could, at any time, reopen them and move troops there under existing agreements, or build more. Nobody would bat an eyelid.
To pretend this is about defence is nonsense. It’s about taking territory.

> To answer your question: the US economy is going to last a very long time yet. So far it has lasted hundreds of years.
How old is the US?

#245One thing I never heard a talk about. What would happen to all the US bases in the NATO countrys? I can't imagine the US could fly from NATOs countrys bases and attack Greenland and partner. Would for ex. germany attack Ramstein?
At some point Germany and others will feel the US presence on their soil being occupation forces and not joint NATO forces.
>being occupation forces
That's literally what they are. American forces appeared in Germany in 1945.

There wouldn't have been a problem if the US would've just done a deal go deploy all their stuff on Greenland, hell, even a whole autonomous military zone or something? But nooooo, they gotta buy the whole thing like it's Alaska or something. I don't get it. Especially because now Russia/China will actually get real interested in the Arctic, plus that they now have an opportunity to disrupt the alliance and delegitim…
They don’t even need a deal, the agreements have been in place since sometime in the 1950s.

#247Trump wants to normalize Putinism. It's beyond disgusting. He should end up in prison for it.
Too much credit. Thigs like this were done way before Putin came to power.
It was done, but it wasn't normalized. These crooks want to present it as normal. There should be a very strong push against this garbage.

The thing itself speaks seemingly a truth though: growing up too coddled will risk a twisted perspective of what you deserve and what's a given.
Seemingly? Do you have any indication that this is a consistent pattern in the world outside of imagination?
If you think that it's just an imagination, the universe will make you physically feel what it really is. Not all at once, but gradually, drop by drop. And then, you'll learn the true meaning of another "meme" word: ignorance.

> They think something fundamental is changing
What is not fundamental about the end of NATO? What is not fundamental about the US actively working to give up its role as global hegemon? The US may survive but that doesn't mean it's not fundamental.
I swear you yanks playing down every single thing that Trump does, as if history has ended, are insane.
The USA will reap what it is currently sowing and it frankly will deserve it.
