I didn’t realize we were arguing about whether NATO would dissolve… of course it will. Frankly I didn’t think that question was really all that contentious, in fact it’s fairly obvious isn’t it?

NATO will instantly be invalidated, dissolve, whatever, and the Allies will switch over to other mutual defense agreements.

Are you suggesting that NATO would break and the soldiers there would immediately lay down their guns and surrender to the US? Like Trump has just found one weird trick that NATO hates?

I don’t need to imagine, you said it plainly. There would not be a war.

What I’m saying is that there are EU and Canadian troops there. They are likely going to get in the way of the US if the US decides to occupy a port, or whatever it is the US decides to do to ‘take Greenland’. If the Allies try to prevent it and the Axis kills someone in the process, that will be difficult to just brush off politically. If Greenlanders die due to bombing, same thing.

I would be interested to know how anyone can imagine an Axis occupation of Greenland that doesn’t involve Axis powers exercising lethal force. What is the actual plan from Trump?

If the US killed EU soldiers, it might go rather differently than you think.
