Invading Greenland = National Suicide

Summary:

A U.S. invasion of Greenland wouldn’t be a flex—it’d be national self-destruction within days.

I walk through the cascading consequences of an aggression fantasy: NATO shatters, EU trade freezes, overseas bases flip, U.S. debt gets dumped, the dollar craters, and domestic supply chains seize up. Short-term “military win,” long-term systemic collapse.

National suicide. That's what the US would be committing if they decided to invade Greenland. For whatever reason, the Diapered orange dementia patient is obsessed with invading Greenland, and for that matter.

He is obsessed with invading any country that seems to catch his interest.

These are the actions of an unintelligent toddler who in between constantly filling up his diaper, has always got to throw a tantrum about one thing or another. For someone who is supposedly the model of alpha male behavior, he sure does cry and moan more than any person that I've ever seen in my life.

exist within Greenland, even [:

But that's just one part of the equation. If this were to actually take place, the US as a functioning country would cease to exist within 72 hours to. A period of a week, and here's why.

So the first thing that happens if the US ever decided to do this, would be a complete shattering of NATO. The people that most benefit from NATO falling apart would be Russia and China. Two countries that have. Really significant investments in the Trump criminal organization. So what would that mean?

the minute that the US invades Greenland, you would see. Countries across all of Europe coordinating to provide for Greenland's defense that effectively ends nato.

But that's when things start getting interesting.

the biggest markets for the [:

All of those bases around Europe would be shut down and taken over. And you can imagine what's gonna happen to us personnel on those bases. In the face of an unprovoked US invasion of Greenland, there would be some pretty severe military consequences, resulting from that action. So when the European Union and countries in that region shut down all of the US bases.

knee capped from conducting [:

On top of that, you would see European Union member states cut off every sort of business arrangement that you see with major US companies, whether you're talking about military companies, airlines, tech companies.

In one fell swoop, all of them would be locked out of the market. On top of that, any of their employees who happen to be in Europe, their immigration status would be revoked and they would either be detained or deported. So in less than 48 hours, you would have catastrophic Economic impact, economic damage levied against the US if they decided to invade Greenland.

ppens to be one of them. The [:

Great Britain, one of the largest holders of US debt would start dumping US treasuries,

and that action would be followed by many other countries who owed US debt. As soon as you see that happening, the dollar collapses. The US economy and inflation goes through the roof beyond anything that we've ever seen.

Think Weymar Republic, where people were carrying. Currency by the wheelbarrow and was using it as a means to provide themselves heat than actual currency. That's what we're looking at. If the US invades Greenland and England, along with other countries, decided to dump US treasuries.

tary supply chains, but also [:

Trade from European countries to the US would completely stop and trade from also Canada, which is a NATO member state. And potentially even Mexico would stop as well, that would effectively render the US on a starvation plan because the US cannot provide its own resources and its own goods. Doesn't have the manufacturing capacity.

Doesn't have the agricultural capacity. So you're looking at a massive domestic catastrophe as a result of that. So you're looking at domestically massive inflation complete. Lack of goods and services and you're looking at a period of a few days before people run out of reserves and are starting to feel the pinch of going hungry.

[:

So when you look at all of those things combined, you would have a short-lived, fairly straightforward military victory, followed by a complete collapse of US trade, a complete collapse of the US military across Europe, a complete collapse of the US economy. Thanks to. US companies being completely shut out of the European markets.

You would have thousands and maybe even millions of US citizens being detained or deported all across Europe. Global trade to the US would cease to exist. The US dollar would be nearly worthless. And you're talking about an economic catastrophe that would make the Great Depression look like a walk in the park.

be put in charge of anything [:

Yet, here we are. This is what happens when the dumbest voting block in history votes in the candidate that they think is a genius. What you're seeing is. The outcomes that are driven by a guy that was never successful and has been a loser his entire life, being put in charge of one of the largest economies and working really hard to rack up another bankruptcy so that he can actually profit off of the liquidation event.

That's what you're seeing today. And that's what you're gonna continue to see the longer this guy is in charge. And the question that I have for everybody that's watching or listening, are we great yet? Is this making us great? Sure. Doesn't seem that way.
