Denmark's Mette Frederiksen said "everything would stop" in the event of a US attack on another NATO country. European leaders have backed Frederiksen while saying the US "is an essential partner."

    Nah. I wish, but until now Europeans have shown no backbone at all against Trump. When the USA take Greenland, the Danish and Greenlanders are gonna be alone, because that’s what happens between NATO members in conflict. The USA, of course, designed it like that.

      A UK general said it best. If the US invades Greenland, NATO will naturally dissolve, because it is solely based on trust. Break that trust and it’s over.

      I bet NATO would have defended Greece against Turkey, but that’s different. Somehow.

    Does an invasion/attack by one NATO member trigger an Article 5 response against that country by the remainder of NATO?

    I am sure that this scenario has been imagined before (ahem Greece v. Turkey)

      Unless countries like the UK and France are willing to deploy their militaries to fight US soldiers in Greenland, it doesn’t matter.

        Which, indeed, could mean the end of NATO. If it becomes clear that the “alliance” is basically you following the provisions when it serves the US and nobody following them when it doesn’t, what’s the point of all this legalese?

          Yep I think NATO is effectively dead already. We don’t need to wait for the Greenland annexation for that to be the case.

        France is in no condition for any war, they could at most crackdown on tiny New Caledonia but have no strenght to do anything to Sahel states. UK military is in complete shambles. So not only they are unwilling to stand to USA but unable to.

        The UK and France combined would have a problem if there was a single carrier parked in the North Atlantic. They might have a chance if all the US Carriers and subs were 2000 miles away.

        There is nothing anyone except the US can do about a US annexation of Greenland, short of Nuclear weapons.

    If only the working class across all nations had a defensive alliance. Oh you wanna go to war? General strike.

    Fuck these imaginary lines on a map. We are a divided and conquered species.

    Meanwhile Europe spends its so called independence weapons fund once on American weapons. I fully support the liberation of Greenland from the literal Danish Nazis colonizing it and doing eugenics till this day
