Denmark launches $2 billion Arctic security plan, seeks EU unity on Greenland

NATO will simply dissolve when a NATO member is the attacker.
Article 5 is triggered by a unanimous vote among all members. So the US could just veto it.

And since the CDC has been muzzled and WHO departed from, guess we’ll see if we’re magically healthier without them.

That won't matter either.

There's very obvious evidence that some average American homesteading Greenland, or invading neighbors, is a Bad Idea, but that doesn't matter because its not penetrating people's reality bubbles filled with influencers incentivized to push this stuff for attention.

...So why would real health data matter either. Trump can just claim victory and claim everyone is healthier, and how would the average American know otherwise? Sure, maybe they're personally miserable, but the world as they know it is telling them their leader is fighting it.

What's especially troubling is that Trump is "drinking his on Kool-aid" in this situation. I don't want to say its unprecedented, but usually despotic regimes are more self aware that that.

Maybe this will be the reason Trump makes the US leave the NATO

The EU has a harder defense clause than NATO Article 5

[barsoap@lemm.ee]

Greenland is, for the time being, unless Greenland decides otherwise, EU territory. The EU's mutual defence clause is not voluntary, it's "obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in [the member state's] power". All the means, not just any. Only way to get out of that is to be a traditionally neutral country which, with Finland and Sweden aligned, now should only be Austria.

[barsoap@lemm.ee]

Article 5 gets invoked by the attacked country ("hey someone is attacking us"), upon which members decide, individually, what to do about it. There's no vote.

Darn, I have Gotland and Svalbard on mine. Well, there's still hope.
