Sounds good to me. We have spent $22 trillion on NATO since 1980. Give us Greenland in exchange for all that money spent, then we will all go our separate ways.

They have nothing to defend themselves with. They gave it all to Ukraine

I believe he mentioned how many "F35's they have.

Is anyone going to tell him?

Europe will adopt the French method of warfare.......white flags for all.


Or maybe the leftist "hands up, don't shoot"

The problem is we can’t let all of Europe fall (which it would) and they know that.

Without us they’d die.

Great. We should close all our European bases, remove all equipment, and pull our forces out. How long would it take before they're in conflict with each other?

How bad would the recessions be if the US closed down and pulled out of all the bases in Europe?

quote:

The U.S. has over 40 military bases and sites in Europe, with a significant presence concentrated in Germany, Italy, the UK, and Poland, housing nearly 84,000 troops as of early 2025

With zero US intervention, all of Europe would fall in less than a month to anyone with even a half-arse military.

Great, do that.

We’re still taking Greenland though.
