Is he actually threatening another NATO member with military action?
He doesn’t have to. He’ll first let the US leave NATO.. and then attack Greenland.

The United States is threatening invasion of a free and allied nation.
The media is complicit.
The population is complicit.
Edit: The military is complicit.
The population is complicit.
Come on dude. There are so many of us appalled with what's going on, don't put that shit on me or the entire population in general in the US. Asshat.
I mean, in a way, it's fair. We're not rising up to stop it in massive droves.
While there are valid reasons for why the US struggles with that (size, atomization of population, lack of job protections and jobs tied to healthcare, surveillance state), it's still valid for other nations to see that as capitulation.
Wage slavery and healthcare tied to your job is a hell of a drug, guys.
That’s less of an excuse than it is an explanation.
Right, which is why I advocate for fewer protests and more community organizing so we can care for each other outside of these broken ass systems. People are going to wait until after the last minute to start organizing ways to protect and care for each other, but that's America for you.

Nobody wants to be the first person to “go there,” and really protest (beyond waving a few cleverly worded signs on the sidewalk). The first person to take protests to the next level (i.e., throwing fists, rolling cars over, occupying government buildings, confronting masked cops during kidnappings, showing up with arms, whatever) gets mowed down rather quickly.
Ineffective, and it gives the current admin the leverage to bring the hammer down quickly, before an opposition can recoup and really organize.
People are waiting for a critical mass, and “the moment,” when they’re assured that everyone else will turn out en masse at the same time to set shit ablaze, French-protester-style. But nobody knows when “that moment” will be, exactly. Or if it’ll ever come. So, who’s gonna go first?
And who wants to go at all? It’s easy to talk a tough talk when you’re young and you don’t have family depending on you for their survival. Then again, those with children also want their kids to have a country to grow up in that resembles the one we grew up in (or, optimally, far better). So, quite a pickle.
Perhaps “the moment” will never come anyway, and we’ll all just whimper our way into Fascism.

Then do something about your mad king, else your inaction speaks volumes.
How does that saying go... "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

NATO countries should put out a statement that they are ready to defend Greenland from any incursion.
the rest of the g20 countries should immediately financially sanction the us and every us politician along with the us dollar
It would be more effective to threaten sanctions if the US proceeds if the goal is it to deter them, then if it doesn't work, you impose them as punishment and a bargaining chip to get them to pull back.
No need. That's what articles 4 and 5 are for.
Everyone knows that. The point is to create a deterrent by making it clear that they are 1) taking the threat seriously and 2) already preparing and planning to defend, IOW not fucking around. Sending some extra troops to the island and/or flying some jets around the area on a regular isn't a bad idea either.
I wish this man would finally do something beneficial for the world and just die already... preferably of a cheeseburger related causation (heart attack, stroke, or choke).

Welp. It was nice being in NATO while it lasted I guess.
You guys should definitely invoke article 5 if we pull anything, and if orangeboi vetoes it, straight up ignore him and A5 anyways. I am completely serious.

That's basically a declaration of war against a NATO country.
The US should thus also bomb itself through article 5 when it decides to invade Greenland.
Maybe he'll take a trade, offer him Greenland for Hawaii, see if he takes it
He would because that gives the US/Russia alliance a much better play at Europe
Imperialist pig.
War with rest of Nato, really ?
What better way to destroy NATO for the Russians?
Every fucking time he announces tariffs they hit the buy Greenland or make Canada a state bullshit button.

Just do it, okay? I'm so fucking tired of hearing this bullshit everyday. Just do it and get it fucking done with , you fucking imbecile.
Accelerationism hasn’t proven to be an effective method of dealing with him so far. There’s no reason to believe that pattern would change because of this.
Careful...careful what you wish for.. we don't want to do that.
Just a little imperialism we promise 🥸
Why? Why does he want greenland?
Strategic control of the melting Arctic, half of which is bordered by Russia and the other half by Greenland and Canada, both of which Trump wants to invade. Also a foothold in Greenland would be useful in an assault on Canada, whose resources both Putin and Trump want. Canada would be fully surrounded by the USA and Russia.
