That's a political stunt to make President Trump look bad and to try to save face. They know it won't come to war. They also likely know we could obliterate then in a very short time. They'll do anything to try to keep their populace, who they have betrayed, from turning on them.

I'm just thinking those poor Germans are being deployed where there isn't any bier, lol.

I trained with some German soldiers back in 1989 and 1990, unless they suddenly got tough we don't have much to worry about.

If you got bier they aren't a problem at all, lol.

They served spice wine on the rifle range because it was cold.... I had 2 canteen cups full but they wouldn't give me a third.....lol

Saw a diplomat from Greenland on FOX yesterday. He said they had no intention of being owned by the US, but were definitely open to negotiations to America's presence there.

Trump's said that Greenland is a strategic location. His concern was a hostile takeover by China or Russia.

Makes a guy wonder what's going on in world wide picture. Maybe more than we think??

a hostile take over of Greenland would start ww3 as it is own by a NATO nation and ally of the USA so a pretty lame reason to take it over seeing the usa already has some sort of base there

Not that I think taking it by force is even a realistic possibility just dumb rhetoric to remind the world we can and knock some taking the US backing and not having to take your own defense seriously let the US foot the bill for you down some.

Get real if you think nato would be a problem for us to handel. It would not and regardless ot all the talk several would back out of doing anything.

Take a look at the rest of the world's military equipment and its capabilities. Then what's actually operational and ready to deploy. All I can say is good luck.

Yep,

We're not going to take Greenland militarily, that's a distraction, end of the day negotiations and money will get what we need....Heck, we already have a military presence there and some abandoned facilities....Denmark can't defend that place if they wanted to, and by the time Nato is done dithering the place would already be taken over by bad actors....it's just posturing and ego going on....
The US is the only option for defense of Greenland, Denmark, and Europe....and they know it.

if you seriously think you could win a war on your own your very delusional the USA has never won a war on its own and if you think countries around the the world are not operational ready that's a joke too i didn't mean the USA taking over Greenland but China or Russia that would spark a response from the rest of the world

If China cut off our pharmaceuticals and electronics 3/4 of our population would be ready to surrender in a week

We’re actually pretty good at winning them. The problem is we feel ( by ‘we’ I mean the folks in DC) that conquering the enemy isn’t enough. We also are obligated to rebuild it and make it a proper, Western society.

Trump has repeatedly complained that Europe doesn't pull their own weight in NATO and said that they need to step it up and take more responsibility for their own defense.

Well guess what? lol

Funny how things worked out.

Here's another funny one.
Brits raising mil recall upper limit from.55 to.65 years of age.
Got to call.up the geezers if things get bad.
Yet they seem.to.have millions of recently arrived military aged men ...

all the wars that america thinks they won actually where with multi nations the last war that america won totally by its self was agaisnt the indians and that even the war of indepence was fought with the help of the french navy and napoleon in eurpoe

Read the fine print. They sent 13 soldiers - thats right 13!
And the German army is pathetic - I still have family over there and the german military is an absolute joke.
Nothing to worry about.

Haha, nothing military wise will happen, but can you imagine if it would? Talk about turning the world upside down!
Suddenly, the enemy of your enemy becomes your friend, and who’s left all by themselves? That’d friggin suck man.
Be a cool movie though!
