President Trump said he would talk to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about making Canada the 51st state. But the president said he didn’t expect it to get to the point of using military force — though he wouldn’t commit to the same for Greenland.
“Something could happen with Greenland, I’ll be honest,” Trump said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that aired on Sunday. He said that “we need that for national and international security,” but he added “I don’t see it with Canada. I just don’t see it.”
Greenland is part of Denmark, so attacking it ought to trigger NATO Article 5. I’m pretty sure NATO ex-US is capable of putting up a fight too, even if the 50k people who live in Greenland themselves could not.
This comment alone put more thought into the strategic situation of Greenland than Trump ever has.
They’re going to use the cia. Trump would use proxy forces to invade under the guise of assisting a rebellion. He can find an opposition political leader, declare him the leader (in this case, declare Greenland to be soverign from Denmark) and then absorb greenland.
Nope, not possible.
Everything would leak worse than hegseth because they all think it’s stupid and have more friends in Europe than here.
The CIA would love to bring this regime down, they hate the worthless inbred southern fried junta more than anyone.
That’s true, but how many leaks have you seen regarding the CIA’s operations in Venezuela?

The US recognized a right-winger as the rightful president of Venezuela and even had most the US believing it. No leaks at all.
Because they wanted to take down Venezuela.
Taking down Greenland doesn’t help them and it strengthens Trump, which is bad for them.
They want him weak and helpless, a failure at their mercy.
Expect that.
