Yes, NATO must get involved if one of its members is attacked.

[–] lennee@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

Oh yes it will get involved, the US will be kicked out but yes, NATO will be involved

He just had Rutte visit and thinks he could arrange that for him. Rutte skirted the question by affirming that the defense of the polar region was important.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 36 points 2 days ago

Which side does he think NATO would support?

[–] Ferroto@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

An attack on one is an attack on all. I always wondered what would happen if one NATO country attacked another.

[–] lennee@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Aggressor gets kicked out and NATO has to defend the attacked

[–] nilo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yep. Because that’s exactly what happened with Greece and Turkey…

[–] lennee@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, it was close to happening with greece and turkey. And I dont think cyprus is quite the same thing as the US trying to take over greenland, is it?

[–] nilo@lemm.ee 0 points 20 hours ago

I am talking about the Imia crisis in 1996.

it's also an attack on america. jesus fuck do we not remember how this ends?

kill the fucking americans if they pull this shit. make sure they see that open aggression only gets them coffin stuffing, and that only if they're willing to pay shipping.

Literally what's wrong with you? How dense can one carrot be?

[–] Canadian_anarchist@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 days ago

A literal carrot would be an improvement over the current orange tyrant.

[–] BlackRing@midwest.social 201 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I hope NATO does get involved. Not the same way Trump hopes though...

[–] happydoors@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, what’s he smoking thinking that they would help invade a sovereign nation?!

[–] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 90 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Canada has three of top 5 longest sniper kills. Ukraine has the top spot. We just need to export a small chunk of metal at high velocity into a golf course.

[–] Embargo@lemm.ee 52 points 2 days ago (6 children)

I hope you're prepared to pay an extra 25% on that export.

Amazing. It is like they want people to hate America as much as possible before America starts confronting China.

[–] Devanismyname@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As a Canadian, I don't know which country i hate more at this point.

[–] person1@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know I'm supposed to understand that China is horrible, and the young US dick-tatorship is still nothing compared to Chinese high-tech totalitarian dystopia... but somehow, seeing USA, a supposed former friend and ally, turn into a ruthless, unprincipled traitor, aligning itself with Russia... With Russia, of all states! And spitting in the face of the hero of our times...

We know Russians here in Poland. We know how their army works, we know their mentality. When Ukraine reported war crimes, we believed them. Seeing US backstab Ukraine like that... It's just too much. I think the American brand is dead for us.

[–] Devanismyname@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

China has done about 1/100th the crap the us has. Even at its best, the us was overthrowing legitimate governments and destroying entire nations. China may not be perfect, but they are a whole hell of a lot better than the us.

[–] lennee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

China is a shit country. But like if you look at where they are coming from historically I think they are moving forwards. America is moving backwards. China has a ton of potential and I hope the chinese use it well. I am less hopeful for americans at this point.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 113 points 3 days ago (20 children)

This is wholly out of control.

Fix your country, you absolute selfish idiots.

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (24 children)

I don't disagree, but... how?

Dumbass doesn't even understand that NATO is a DEFENSIVE pact and that Denmark is a member. Not wanting to give you their territory doesn't count as an attack.

Also if he really cared about security he would have strengthened his ties with his allies instead of pushing them away. The US is far less secure now that it was 3 months ago.

Not wanting to give you their territory doesn't count as an attack.

Having been married to a narcissist for 11 years, yes, that's literally how they think. My ex would fly off the handle if I told her "no" to sex or whatever it was that she wanted. She'd throw out all kinds of excuses about how it was my fault somehow, and even during our divorce, when we were literally separated, she forced her way into my room (we still lived in the same house for a few weeks) just to "cuddle" and would throw a fit if I didn't give in. Remember, we were getting divorced. I had to put my foot down hard on that line. And yes, she would get violent.

Orange presidents with tiny dick syndrome calling a country's refusal to give up territory an "attack" is not much different, fundamentally.

Trump added that the result was very good for the US and 'the person who did the best is a very good person as far as we’re concerned'

Me too form together words too

The more I look into Greenland situation the more I am thinking there's already a psychological campaign in play to get them to be part of the US. They're legitimately trying to get away for the Danish government and there's a strong US presence there already with military bases. I suspect the target is to get them to hand over the keys not only willingly but ask for it.

The mighty US of A needs NATO to invade an island with 56,000 inhabitants?

Is Wakanda located on that island or what?

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Maybe he meant against us not supporting us?

"We want you to violate the sovereignty of a fellow NATO country. Are you in?"

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 27 points 2 days ago

Given that he regards the Department of Justice as his personal litigators, it makes sense that he’d regard NATO as his enforcers.

No matter how dumb you think he is I'm sure his cult is lapping it up.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Trumps fundamental and broad stupidity amazes every day.

NATO will do exactly nothing to help the bloated orange shit-weasel take over Greenland.

He wants Greenland the same way as Putin wanted extra countries. How many countries did Russia invade between 2000 and 2020?

National security is just a pretext. Greenland already contributes to your national security you king. They’re a part of NATO. You already have force projection up there if required.

Greenland and Canada are NATO countries. You cannot attack or forcefully annex another NATO country. If he leaves NATO, he will be up against Canada & Europe. The US is one Twizzler away from having the entire world sanction & boycott it.
