    That’s been the US modus operandi since Truman.

    If you think this is a feasible sane approach

    It’s no more feasible or sane than any of our other adventurist wars. But it’s crazy to think the Europeans are willing to play the role of Punching Bad to our Imperial Iron Fist. If the US is serious about taking Greenland, the Europeans will back out of the way. Because the US is an enormous, horrifying killing machine and Greenland simply isn’t worth that kind of heat.

    The world will turn to China and trash the US economy instantly.

    European reactionaries will be on the side of the US - just like Canadians were in the last election cycle - and they’ll likely eat some shit for it in the short term. But the US will continue to pump the continent full of white nationalist propaganda. The liberal European leadership will continue to let it happen. And the reactionaries will win in the end when liberals roll over a few years later.

      All the other times you attacked your allies? All the other wars with Europe and Canada?

      This has got to be the stupidest comment you’ve said in our entire exchange, and the bar is pretty high. If you truly believe that you can flatten all US imperial actions and assume the responses will be the same - and you’re comfortable building the granddaddy of all false equivalences ever, comparing invading a NATO member country and killing their citizens to, say, Iraq - then you are well and truly brain damaged.

      Thank Christ you’re not representative of the real and good Americans, and you should frankly be on your knees thanking them everyday for saving you from yourself and giving you a country that isn’t a complete moral and economic shithole. That is assuming they beat you shitpumps down and start reversing course, which it seems like they’re doing.

      From this point on, I’m assuming you’re a bot so I don’t start to taint my impression of the majority of Americans who have had enough of the Trump dictatorship. So in light of this assumption, I bid you…piss off wanker.

        It’s sort of our thing

        This has got to be the stupidest comment you’ve said in our entire exchange

        Brother, if you don’t want to learn about this country’s history, that’s on you. But your need to scream “Stupid!” every time I say something you don’t want to hear isn’t an indictment of my intelligence, just your maturity.
