Trump threatens Tariffs on those who don't support his purchase of Greenland.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Unfortunately the US is the world superpower. That used to be ok when they were moral.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The annexation of Greenland could happen because the US already has the forces there to do it. If you ignore what allies think, international law and treaty agreements, then there is nothing stopping America.

However, it would be a game-changing event in geopolitics, and I am nit sure the Trump administration has fully thought it through.

@JimboSaturn I only disagree on one point. The US empire has never been moral. The reality is what has changed is it no longer serves our self interest.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I guess you are right. I guess I mean we never expected the US to upend the post WWII order.

@Burnley123 If Trump breaks NATO, can NATO countries kick American bases out of their countries? Such a dangerous and totally unnecessary game he's playing.

@JimboSaturn @Burnley123

Never thought I would say this coming from a military family but NATO is now a national security liability for all members.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow We (including Britain) can liquidate over 3 trillions worth of US treasury bonds and make the dollar compete with the ruble for the title of world's worst sh*tcoin. It won't happen until an actual invasion, as that'll torpedo the world's economy as a whole and for obvious reasons Europe doesn't want to look like the one who started it.

@Elessar A major flaw with that. All our currencies are pegged to the dollar so it turn our own currencies into meme coins too.

And it still doesn't address the fact that we are all now chained to a rogue state as long as NATO exists.

NATO hasn't made sense for decades since it has member states that have completely opposite and opposing national interests anyways. This just makes it a security liability too.
