This is Europe. We collectively don’t support what the US is doing in Venezuela, or threatening in Columbia. Stay TF out of Europe. We need to unlink reliance on the US. Trump today, with a myriad of other morons lined up.
I’m siding with NATO if the US invades Greenland.
An invasion for a hostile place like that would be extremely reliant on supplies. Running out of supplies means rapidly becoming completely unable to fight and probably even freezing to death.
Ships would be vulnerable to submarines and arctic ice. The US would have to rely mainly on its air power but the weather there can make it extremely difficult, if not impossible for long periods of time. It is also extremely challenging to distribute those supplies on land over long distances.
And that’s even supposing that your soldiers even know the basics of how to survive in an Arctic environment like that or they’d just die on their own. And having done some cold weather exercises with Americans, I can tell you that the vast majority of them don’t stand a chance against the elements. Leave them there to their own devices for two days and the survivors will be surrendering to the locals in exchange for a warm place to be.
Really, a place like that has many, many ways to make an invasion go wrong.
