You are ignorant ti the value of Greenland? Yeesh.

Yes. Are you dumb on purpose or a true kool aid drinker?
It’s laughable to suggest Denmark needs Greenland for anything they subsidize them for a ton of money yearly and they’re a net drain for them. They also can’t access any of the massive economic potential since they don’t have the cash or tech.
It’s totally laughable to suggest them having a pms shriek over this is because the EU gets cucked by Orange all the time. We are in the era of realle politiq. Denmark would be wise to suggest something like a 99 year lease with a profit split on resource extraction.
The EU are retarded idiots forming a new Soviet Union though so if we have to just take it, we will. Due to the curvature of the earth they are directly between us and Russia and we can eventually be in a position to completely deny them from any possibility of ever striking the mainland, even with nukes

The war we aren’t fighting in?
No the war were paying for and providing strategic "advisors" in all facets of warfare but definitely not fighting in at all.
The US has provided somewhere in the neighborhood of $65B since 2022 to help them fight their war in terms of money and military supplies.
Exactly how many billions of dollars do we have to give a nation before it becomes a proxy war in your world?

The only reason we aren't fighting in it is Trump. Had Kamala won, we'd be a leading the "coalition of the willing" instead of laughing at them.

Given this is a treaty, don’t more than Trump have to agree to pull out? Maybe he is a king.

You didn’t read the thread
You allude to the need to prestage supplies.
We dont need full access to all NATO bases to stage supplies globally.
We merely need select base access in key areas of strategic interest to be able to preposition troops and thats assuming we really feel the need to be able to continue to invade random nations within 48 hours without clear goals or incentives which I obviously don't believe we should continue doing.

Besides, only an act of Congress or a 2/3rds Senate vote can withdraw us from NATO. That isn’t happening and President Trump cannot do it on his own.
And you get downvoted by the petulant MAGA fools here for stating the facts. If you stand back and look at the horizon. The righties are as screwed up as the lefties.

And be able to invade Cambodia next week possibly.
Again, I'm an advocate of maintaining control of strategic staging bases. My point is we don't need to prop up and support EU/NATO/WEF agendas to do that.
*IF* Greenland is of the utmost defensive strategic importance we should own it and make it a protectorate, not beg Denmark to let us land what we need there.
We can project power without Ramstein for instance, we just need to be thoughtful as to what our needs are relative to a new strategic defense and power projection mindset, changing tech landscape and shifting political agendas and alliances.

How so?
Saving money while kicking freeloaders to the curb (and putting the U.S. fully into Greenland) seems like a prudent decision. Especially with Europe now being a far left insane asylum. They are not trustworthy.

Until 2023, all it took was for the president to issue a notice and wait the 1 year cool off period. Congress slipped a provision into the NDAA that year to require the senate. Every other president before Trump had the unilateral power to leave NATO. I think this supreme court would strike it down. Trump needs to get moving.
Summary of the Steps
In practice, a withdrawal attempt today would likely look like this:
Presidential Action: The President expresses intent to withdraw.
Congressional Block: Congress would cite the NDAA 2024 to block the action and cut off funding for the transition.
Judicial Review: The Executive Branch might sue, arguing the NDAA restricts the President's Article II foreign policy powers.
Final Decision: If the Supreme Court upheld the President's power, the President would issue the Article 13 notice. If the Court upheld Congress's law, the withdrawal would fail without a supermajority vote.

The question should be how does being a member of NATO benefit the United States in 2026?
It’s the most powerful military alliance in the world and it prevents every member from being attacked by others.
