    I don’t think he realises that Greenland is part of Denmark and therefore part of NATO. I don’t think they realise that any attack on Greenland would invoke article 5.

    The only people that mentioned taking Greenland with military force are those complete idiots who know absolutely nothing about them being part of NATO.

    Their only hope can be for the people of Greenland to have a referendum to leave Denmark and join the USA. But they have already expressed multiple times that they are not interested in joining the USA.

    All this is right now is just empty talk seeking popularity points.

    So unless America wants to leave NATO and start a war with it, it’s not gonna happen.

      I mean is there any provision if one nato country attacks another then what happens? realistically I dont think even united europe could do much to US militarily, until they all sanction them heavily.

        Yep, it’s all kinds of fucked up. Europe certainly can’t afford to fight both the USA and Russia.

        I’m absolutely certain if the EU went to war with the USA, Russia would take advantage and invade all the eastern Europe, while the USA is attacking the west.

        The most that could happen is throwing out the USA from NATO.
