I agree, they are deliberately picking a “low-value” target to drive a wedge between the US and EU/Canada. Miller and Trump are panicked that they won’t finish the term and are trying to crank all the isolationist, fascist, hermit-empire world-building into one year.
Nobody wants to start World War 3 over Greenland, so it’s a testing ground for how far this administration can push their dumb agenda.
If he was a halfway intelligent dictator they would be negotiating for rights to set up a stronger US presence in Greenland and work through soft power, trade and other back-room negotiations, but they’re utter fucking morons so they’re trying to use hard power to divide alliances and threaten the world.
All we will get out of this deal is embargos on US goods and the slow, steady decline of the US superpower status as the rest of the world moves on and we slowly rust.
I said Canada is not going to let it escalate to full blown war. Anything else is your own hallucinations.
Anything less than a strong reaction - including (to name just two) dumping Tbonds and cutting off exports (oil, potash, uranium, hydro power, softwood, etc) - will be unacceptable to most Canadians. If even one of those actions is taken by us, the US will be aggressive because they’ve set it up that way. They want to occupy Canada. They want a response and most Canadians are ready to give it to them. My family and I are ready to suffer and sacrifice. Are you?
I gather from your response you’re not Canadian so you really don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to my country.
Sorry to hear about the threats against your country. I’d have thought this might create allies, but it seems we have a fundamental personality impasse.

Are you Canadian?

Like in in?
Not surprising, as you clearly know nothing about the geopolitical situation or the stakeholders.

Do you honestly believe that Canada has no levers?
As I said, you don’t understand Canada or Canadians. If Greenland is occupied, Canada will be next, and we know this.
I understand you will laugh and dismiss others, this is typical American behaviour. Complete lack of awareness.
