    if denmark blocked exports to the USA there would be boots in copenhagen by the weeks end. The master can choose at any time to put down the dog, especially if the dog bites them

      Yeah, thats basically the gist of it. Trump most likely wants to avoid bad press or bad optics but I could also totally see an action like this backfiring with Trump making an example out of Denmark. To basically show the other vassal states who owns them.

      Now do I think that is gonna happen ? No . The USA will annex Greenland . The EU will write a strongly worded letter and thats the end of it.

        I think the same too. I’d love to see the alternative happen though, I wonder how many eurolibs would understand their position though, or will they still envelope themselves in cognitive dissonance about the reality of their vassalage.

          I will say I cant “really” predict Trump . Plus his state isnt really getting better there is a chance he just wants to be remembered (no matter how ) thats where the real fun begins but at that point we are in the realm of pure speculation. LIke theres a shot of us entering the cool zone but I really dont see it.
