A few people I work with are huge Trump fans and with the news of taking over Greenland they are fully onboard with it and have been trying to find racial slurs for Greenland people. These people are mentally unstable and need to be removed from society.

What a fucked up world trump is making.
His entire regime is truly evil and rotten to its core.
But hey, at least we don’t have a brown lady who laughs as our president.

What is that minimizing title? He's talking about an invasion of conquest. Call it that.
Any American forces attacking Greenland are committing war crimes. If they listen to trump and go ahead with an attack the American military leaders of any rank will be guilty of war crimes. Let's see how many generals and admirals are willing to quit sucking trump's asshole and abide by the law.
checks history notes
guilty of war crimes
And just who would try them for it?
The Revolutionary Committee

So he’s choosing WW3. If the US attacks Greenland, that is attacking Denmark which is attacking the EU, he’d start a war between allies in NATO. Denmark would cite article 5, it would be war between NATO countries and the US.
Hold your horses - NATO general secretary Mark Rütte has already said that he "wouldn't want to drag NATO into all this"... 🙄
The position of NATO general secretary is irrelevant, the actual treaty is irrelevant, in the end military action is always a political choice of member states.
The worrisome part of course is that Mark Rütte was leader of an EU country for 14 years. There are certain to be people loyal to the USA in EU politics and military after all those year of US alignment. Heck Russia has managed to buy a few EU politicians in a couple of decades.
Trump is rushing straight to Justice League without doing the world-building first. Not one single person in this country outside of Trump's inner circle hates the Danes or Greenlanders (guess maybe they are still Danes?).
You can't just will a country to war. At least some people have to believe in the mission. And I'm betting Trump's rural base could give an absolute fuck about Greenland. It's not even like it's a "DEI country," the way Africa and the Middle East are.
What in the fuck is he playing at?
he wants the country to be 'at war' so all those wartime laws that give him more power come into affect. he can lockdown the entire country and claim that when a democrat sneezes its a national security issue, and oh look at that, this ancient law says he can lock citizens up.
that and he is a literal russian asset destabilizing the united states on behalf of putin.
thats my guess.
Thats not a guess, thats a valid prediction based on the facts that we already know.
I agree with your prediction 100%, and add to it: When HitlerPig starts his war, whether in Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama, etc., he will call for a draft. In the past, there were deferments for those in college, or with good political connections, and those will still be in effect, but with restrictions. If you have student loans, you will be eligible for the draft. Only college students who have the money to pay cash for their college education will be deferred. That way the rich kids get out of it, but the poor and middle class still go. Only Republican connections will count for deferments, and even then only those who make substantial campaign contributions.
Anyone caught protesting will be drafted. Dissidents and critics will be drafted. Criminals will be drafted. Prisoners will be drafted. Age will not be a consideration, and you can be drafted even if you are retired. Basically, anyone they don't like will be drafted.
Of course, declaring a draft for a highly unpopular war will cause even more protests, where even more people can be detained and drafted.
I will declare this right now: There is absolutely no way I will allow my son to be drafted to fight in a MAGA war, for any reason.
What you describe is the least effective army that can be assembled. Not saying they wouldn't try, mind you... But that's not a group you give guns and put into a battlefield.
Obviously, MAGA isn't concerned with competence, just look at the people that they replaced competent leaders with.
They wouldn't care anyway. They are the types to just throw as many people at a front line as they can get. Kapo Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has said that he wants to reduce our population from 335 million, to 100 million rich white people. A war that kills millions of middle class/poor people plays right into that plan.
Seems like he could do that way more easily on our Southern border.
Send a helicopter to shoot at cartels near the border, wait until they finally shoot back. Send a mission deep into Mexico to attack the cartels and wait for the inevitable blow back.
I agree with a lot of that, but Trump is such an idiot, I can't imagine Putin would trust him enough to coordinate that closely. Maybe if it's just sheer manipulation. This is the weirdest fucking timeline.
I can't fucking believe it. Trump is taking over DC police, preparing for the inevitable civil backlash. Are all of those assholes really going to fight for him?
I legitimately have to worry that on my anniversary trip TSA is going to go through my phone and perhaps decide I'm a traitor for anti-Trump sentiment. I guess if I disappear in April and no one hears from me again you'll know what happened.
Travel with a new burner phone without your social media apps or emails on it.

Greenland(and the Faroe Islands) are autonomous territories of Denmark. They function very similarly to US States. They have their own local governing bodies that deal with local matters but when it comes to foreign affairs, monetary policy and security they defer to the Danish Government in which they also have their own dedicated representatives.
The people are full Danish citizens so they use a Danish passport but pretty much all of them will identify as Greenlander (or Faroese) first and as a Dane second.
HitlerPig wants to quit NATO, amd form an alliance with Russia, China, and others. Both Russia and China have shown an interest in occupying Greenland. That allows them to have a base of power looming over Europe, and much closer to America.
In 2019, Tom Cotton got a letter from a Danish foreign minister, claiming to represent a Greenland separatist movement, and asking for money to fund a referendum on Greenland independence. Cotton took the letter to HitlerPig, who skipped right over the fundraising part, and decided that we could buy Greenland, and he hasnt shut up about it since.
In 2022, Danish intelligence determined the letter was a Russian forgery. The Russians sent the letter to Cotton because they knew he was stupid enough to not question its veracity, and woukd take it straight to HitlerPig. The Russians totally played both of those idiots.
Still, knowing the letter was a forgery, they have decided that its still a good idea to take Greenland. Theyve already invented a lot of propaganda claiming that Greenlanders actually welcome America's slavery, and these MAGA Morons always believe their own propaganda, so they are still in the hunt to buy, steal, or conquer Greenland.
Russia and China would love to share Greenland with America, so they can threaten western Europe more effectively.
Can't wait for them to try to false flag a terrorist attack from Greenland.
Trump will encounter a home-grown resistance in the US if he wages war on NATO. It will start a civil war. MMW
I'd love to believe that but I find no evidence to support it
The problem is that invoking the term "civil war" for the US calls on a historical image of two clear sides, or perhaps the very vague handwaving history of the recent movie of the same name. There might finally be some sort of civil unrest against the government in some ways, but it won't be a Blue vs. Grey organized movement. More a fall into chaos where some places will go on as usual, while others might be a war zone type scenario caused by official lashing out at public actions. It's unprecedented, like most of recent events, and unusual because of the size and makeup of the US itself. It won't be like any other civil war.
Americans couldn't vote for Kamala because she wouldn't condemn Israel's genocide
Instead they ellected a war lord who will go to war with anyone for no reason
Why doesn't Greenland/Denmark disallow them from even having a base there anymore?
Aka WW3 with America vs The World is not off the table.
If that happens, only American citizens will be able to stop it.
If that happens, only American citizens will be able to stop it.
So we are all fucked then... Americans couldn't be bother voting to prevent this
