“We need Greenland for national security and international security,” Trump said, taking reporters’ questions in the Oval Office.

    He probably wants direct control of Greenland to cut off Canada from European supply lines when the US starts a land invasion of Canada.

    Right… so, when is the declaration of war coming? The formal, enabling the EU to go for the guns. If this is to end in bloodshed, let’s get to it. Europeans have been away from guns for nearly 80 years. Let’s see if we remember how to make some noise and things blow apart.

      Only congress can formally declare war, but congress hasn’t even wiped their own ass in 20 years.

      That said, a ‘special military operation’ is of course always a possibility

        To my understanding, it will go the same route, as all EU members are bound to assist each other in case of aggression.

        For what it may concern, I’m expecting at some point to have calls to readiness for military reserve effectives in my country, the way things are going. And my country is pretty much forgotten by everyone.
