Russia moving their nukes to Georgia is the most telling sign yet that they’re not serious. Our intercontinental ballistic missiles are marginally closer to you is not the brag they think it is. It means they’ve given up on military superiority and are now resulting to chest thumping in an attempt to intimidate, they wouldn’t do that if they still had a functional military.
So I’m reasonably confident that Poland is safe from Russian aggression.
I also can’t really see the US going to war in Greenland. It’s a wholly unpopular idea both with civilians but also with the US military who know that all it would result in is them losing a significant chunk of their forces to hypothermia since the US is very weak in cold weather combat. They already have a US air base in Greenland, controlling the rest of the country wouldn’t increase US national security and the only person who thinks it would is Trump.
I think there wouldn’t be any serious combat, to be honest. Denmark isn’t that stupid, worst the yanks would get is a belligerent hunter with a rifle. So, all cold weather deaths would be on them, tbh. Besides, they have a military base on Greenland anyway, it’s not like it’s completely new to them
This is the thing though. They have a military base in Iceland and Denmark pretty much gives them free reign to do whatever they want in the country so they don’t need to launch an actual invasion.
But of course Trump is an idiot so he’s threatening this anyway even though it’ll result in zero benefits for the United States.
The thing is though if they try and take Greenland by force it’s going to involve them occasionally leaving the heated interior of the US military compound. I’m sure that’s going to be a fun exercise for the troops.
It makes more sense if you assume that everything trump says is a lie made to misguide his voters.
“Why Canada and Greenland?” makes a lot more sense when you ignore the bullshit about climate change being fake. Lots of currently frozen resources and potential farm land up there.
