As a Dane I am grateful that so many countries have expressed support for Greenland and Denmark in this situation.

Have they closed the US military base? Stripped the soldiers of weapons, kicked them off base, deported them? Sent in people to secure the base? These are high alert actions.
Appeasing to a bully never works. Until you evict the US base out of Greenland, you are not in crisis mode. Europeans are tired of inaction.
If the US takes Greenland, I fear that NATO will be effectively dissolved. Denmark probably invokes Article 5... does anyone come to their aid against the US? Seems unlikely. If they do, let's be real here, the US will just acquire new colonies. Either way, NATO means next to nothing; total Russian victory. Russia gets to sabotage/colonize western and then eastern Europe, and China gets Taiwan (if they feel like calling the US's bluff) and whatever else they want. The only truly sovereign countries left will be the ones with a hefty nuclear arsenal.
If the US takes Greenland and NATO doesn't respond Canada is next.
Maybe Canada needs a midnight swoop and kidnap Dump in the night and send him to prison for being a child rapist
Just it anyone has the final call for nukes and stuff, make sure you include Putin in the list - wouldn't want the filthy mastermind behind global rot and decay to not see justice before his untimely pants-shitting demise.
I don't think so. Taking over Greenland will look a bit like changing the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. US will say they now control Greenland, Denmark will say they don't. There will be no invasion because US already has a military base there. Denmark will not attack it because it would be foolish and pointless. US will probably say that Greenland residents can get US passports and establish some parallel administration. And then, at some point, when they want prove they actually own Greenland US will provoke some conflict. Maybe they will take control of the international airport or something. Denmark will back down and everyone will accept it's US territory while opposing it officially.
With Canada this will not work. They would have to actually invade it and I don't think they are there yet. Bombing of Mexico will happen first.
This is a distressingly realistic take. The vast majority of human beings don't want to be the one to start a fight, and the psychopath class that exists at all levels have used this generally agreeable human trait to leverage "I'm not touching you!" into fascist takeover because nobody wants to be the one to throw the first punch.
it's there anything in NATO about what they will do if a NATO nation invaded another NATO nation?
denmark can rebuke with, we will report more on the epstein files you clearly are trying to distract from. its what one of the south american countries currently threatened are doing.
I don't know what the arguments against this idea would be, but seems to me like the first thing Denmark needs to do, probably with the help of some allies, is expel the US from Greenland, take over the US military base there and strongly fortify it. Then the US can't use it for the invasion. I'm sure their plans heavily depend on having and using that base. Don't say anything beforehand, just show up with enough force that the existing US contingent there can't win if they fight back, present the eviction notice, and get them moving out before US can send reinforcements.
-people are being abused and murdered by another state
-no one gives a shit because they didn't sign the right pieces of paper 40 years ago.
What the fuck is wrong with the world man. Oppression everywhere needs to be met with EXTREME VIOLENCE.
You want to abuse people, you need to be removed from the planet by something very fast moving. Doesn't matter if that is a head of state or a military. Oppression needs to be met with overwhelming retaliatory force.
EU is too divided to do anything. My guess is Hungary will support it, UK will "strongly oppose" but do nothing to protect their trade deals and Germany will express support but do nothing not to engender their failing economy. Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands and Spain will enact some sanctions. Not sure about France... Anyway, EU as a whole will not respond. This was long time in the making. Tolerating foreign agents like Hungary for way too long, letting Germany weaken EU's security for their economic benefit through deals with Russia and not reacting to developments in US in time. Our politicians failed us and now we will feel the consequences.
A coalition of nations that are opposed to imperialism needs to be formed. Only a world united against imperialism can stop these imperialist powers.
All countries need to band together before he picks us off one by one
Ok, imagine this coalition is created. What next? (What to expect you can see from coalitions around Ukraine. Mostly speeches and proclamations. Not very helpful.)
Time to find out if the North Atlantic Treaty is worth the paper it is printed on.
Quick! Let's order more F35 and spy on other European countries ! Maybe the USA won't hurt us tonight when he comes home!
It's OK! The EU has Their BACK!
