> that could turn the EU into an enemy of the US

The EU is already an enemy in the eyes of the US, even though it isn't reciprocated.

Not sure what would happen if the US attacked Greenland, attacking a close ally you have literal agreements about protecting each other kind of forces NATO into new territory. My hunch is that the NATO would be dissolved, and everyone would have to team up against the aggressor.

And do what exactly against the US? You can’t invade it, geographically they can easily defend Greenland from any invasion force. And speaking of an invasion force, how many countries do you know that can deploy an expeditionary force strong enough to take on the US?


US would be isolated with sanctions, EU may join to the BRICS (or a partial homologous?).

So I'm not sure if the above is his main intention, or if he is telling Greenland to join the EU (altruism? hmmm), or if we're witnessing how he sent his businesses bankrupt [1] , or if I'm missing something.

Trump specialises in sending his businesses, hotels and casinos bankrupt, to the point banks stopped lending him money, so he turned to the Russian oligarchy for funding.

EU joining up with Russia, Iran, and China? Come on.


We are talking about an senary were the market and energy importation from US finish, that would push EU toward the East, Are you sure we will not return to Russia to supply that energy?

Or with other words, Do you think that what happened to the unfortunate Uranians is not related to cut Russian oligarchy tentacles over the EU through energy supply?

Iran finances terrorism. They have nuclear weapons. They are in alliance with China and Russia.

It would truly be a moral catastrophe if the EU decides to join that side. A true moral catastrophe.


Just following the US’s lead.


>>NATO would be dissolved...

This plays right into Putin's hands including everything else Trump has been doing to bring down the USA.


At some point you have to stop appeasing and actually take a stand. I’m sure America will say they just need breathing room, I can see Starmer coming back from Florida with a note saying “peace in our time”.
