US could just threaten to withdraw from NATO if it can't get Greenland. What then will remain of NATO that can defend itself from Russia and China? Besides the US, only the UK and France have nukes.

- aebtebeten 10mo agoHow is that a threat, considering that the US also effectively withdraws from NATO if it can get Greenland?
- OutOfHere 10mo agoIt is a veiled threat because once the US voluntarily withdraws from NATO, it is no longer bound to any obligation to not seize Greenland by force.
- ndsipa_pomu 10mo agoSeems a bit subtle when Trump could just send invading troops and see how it pans out (assuming that the military remains loyal to him). That could then lead to NATO kicking out USA, so what would threatening to do it achieve?

- LeChuck 10mo agoCongress can, Trump cannot.
- mna_ 10mo agoAt this point, I don't think anyone in NATO thinks the US will aid them if anything were to happen so the US is kinda out of NATO anyway (at least until Trump/MAGA is gone).
