From a national security point of view it is not a win win.
If all US military is expelled from Europe then the closest you have to Russia is India?
This board is blinded to hypocrisy of this narrative vs views on Russia with Ukraine and China with Taiwan.

Since when do Muslim men wear any kind of headgear except for that needed in isolated situations? It's not day to day wear.
The people who are "ragheads" (not my term - yours) are Sikhs who are staying clear from Europe for the most part.

As I posted in another thread I agree with NYPost commentator Rich Lowry about this -
The fact of the matter is, we can almost certainly get whatever we need from Greenland without violating a friendly country’s sovereignty, or straining a world-historical alliance to the breaking point.
We already have a missile-defense base there. The 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement between Denmark and the United States that allows for the Pituffik Space Base could presumably be updated and extended.
Given the national-security importance of critical minerals to both the United States and NATO, it should be possible to unlock Greenland’s resources.
Instead of clapping back at Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen should be reaching out, asking to sit down for a steak dinner at Mar-a-lago and offering a deal. While public pressure gets Trump’s back up, private persuasion — and a warm relationship — goes a long way: The Panamanians managed to get him to stop talking about taking back the Canal (for now) with prudent concessions.
For his part, Trump should realize that making everyone in a friendly nation hate him doesn’t help his cause. His loose talk of annexing Canada last year helped Justin Trudeau’s party survive a national election that it should have lost.
His Greenland saber-rattling is presumably making it harder for leaders in Denmark to work with him on sensible economic and security cooperation.
If Nicholás Maduro got what he deserved, Demark is a different matter.
Even the unsentimental, results-oriented foreign policy of Donald Trump needs to distinguish between friend and foe.

Hope he knows that if we are not using them then the money we bring to those towns disappear also. European towns would die without the money the US spends on those bases.

We do pay for those bases and its a lot more than what we give Isreal for the people that want to bitch about Israel.

Lmao.... The EU are spineless cowards!! They are incapable of defending themselves, much less taking on the US military.

I been watching the news and the globohomos in Brussels are shook. These people are fricking terrified and it is funny to watch. These idiots keep talking about an attack on Greenland. What the frick is there to attack? It is 52K people on a landmass about the 1/4 the size of the United States. We operate a Spaceforce base there that was formerly an Air Force Base. I mean this is going to happen 1 of 2 ways. A vote by the people of Greenland or a negotiation with Denmark.

It allows far more than that.
Article 1
quote:
The Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark, in order to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic Treaty area by uniting their efforts for collective defense and for the preservation of peace and security and for the development of their collective capacity to resist armed attack, will each take such measures as are necessary or appropriate to carry out expeditiously their respective and joint responsibilities in Greenland, in accordance with NATO plans.
Thats a literal anything that we decide as we are supreme NATO commander.
Could even include mining for national defense minerals.

An with no US to prop up the EU russia will exert more muscle in the region.....

They contribute a token amount towards the bases and we cover the rest.
The US has no need for freeloaders (all of Western Europe, most of Central Europe). We can move our airbases out of Germany and put them in Hungary.
I wish the Europeans good luck in convincing their migrants to enlist and fight for them. They better hope the migrants don’t decide to fight for Russia instead

Why on earth do we need to defend Europe? Give them the bases and let them do it.
