    How do you believe the Axis power will occupy Greenland? Tell me a typical plan. How would it roll out?

    And how will it happen without lethal force?

    And if EU or Canadian troops are killed, or Greenlanders are killed, do you think it will just be brushed under the rug and dismissed?

      How do you believe the Axis power will occupy Greenland?

      Same way they do it anywhere else. A month of artillery bombardment on every hospital, church, and elementary school with a “Fighting Age Male” in line of sight until everyone in the country is afraid to step outside the house.

      Send in the jackboots to take major ports and city centers, then loot the surrounding area of valuables.

      Start paying half the surviving population a bounty of bread and cigarettes for every “insurgent” scalp they bring in, and set off a civil war that scars the country for a century.

      Then fall back to a Green Zone and use anyone left for target practice with your latest AI powered weapons system.

      Write the territory off as “ungovernable” in fifteen years, and have your retired grunts sign a multi-million dollar book/movie deal called “Snowmobile Heroes: Liberation Victory Patrol”

        Ok so they plan to kill their former allies, as well as any Greenlanders that don’t want to be occupied, which is all of them.

        If you think this is a feasible sane approach, you’re either a troll, or you’re out of your fucking mind. The world will turn to China and trash the US economy instantly.

          That’s been the US modus operandi since Truman.

          If you think this is a feasible sane approach

          It’s no more feasible or sane than any of our other adventurist wars. But it’s crazy to think the Europeans are willing to play the role of Punching Bad to our Imperial Iron Fist. If the US is serious about taking Greenland, the Europeans will back out of the way. Because the US is an enormous, horrifying killing machine and Greenland simply isn’t worth that kind of heat.

          The world will turn to China and trash the US economy instantly.

          European reactionaries will be on the side of the US - just like Canadians were in the last election cycle - and they’ll likely eat some shit for it in the short term. But the US will continue to pump the continent full of white nationalist propaganda. The liberal European leadership will continue to let it happen. And the reactionaries will win in the end when liberals roll over a few years later.

            All the other times you attacked your allies? All the other wars with Europe and Canada?

            This has got to be the stupidest comment you’ve said in our entire exchange, and the bar is pretty high. If you truly believe that you can flatten all US imperial actions and assume the responses will be the same - and you’re comfortable building the granddaddy of all false equivalences ever, comparing invading a NATO member country and killing their citizens to, say, Iraq - then you are well and truly brain damaged.

            Thank Christ you’re not representative of the real and good Americans, and you should frankly be on your knees thanking them everyday for saving you from yourself and giving you a country that isn’t a complete moral and economic shithole. That is assuming they beat you shitpumps down and start reversing course, which it seems like they’re doing.

            From this point on, I’m assuming you’re a bot so I don’t start to taint my impression of the majority of Americans who have had enough of the Trump dictatorship. So in light of this assumption, I bid you…piss off wanker.

              It’s sort of our thing

              This has got to be the stupidest comment you’ve said in our entire exchange

              Brother, if you don’t want to learn about this country’s history, that’s on you. But your need to scream “Stupid!” every time I say something you don’t want to hear isn’t an indictment of my intelligence, just your maturity.

                Ok buddy.

                You think this is like Iraq. I don’t need to comment on your intelligence I just need to underline that.

                Your insults mean nothing to me. I’ve been called worse things by better people.

                And frankly it’s charming that you think people don’t know about “your country”. I guarantee I know more about the US than you think, and for damn sure more than you do about mine. Note the quotes and my wording…they are used specifically because I don’t believe you’re an American. I’ll remind you, I assume you’re a bot or an agent provocateur so you should know that nothing that you’re trying to do is convincing me to hate anyone, nor is it changing my mind on anything that I believe. If you want to keep responding back and attempting to insult me, feel free. Maybe it will mean you don’t scam or influence anyone else.
