- JacoboJacobi 9mo agoWouldn't it be simpler to surround the enemy in Ramstein?

- mepian 9mo agoA base becomes useless pretty quickly if it can't be resupplied, I suspect there is enough hostile AA around it to ensure that.
- general1465 9mo agoUnless the base is completely dependent on host country to supply electricity water and gas + it is inland so it is not possible to supply it in any other way than through air, which can be easily intercepted.

And it’s not necessary for defense to see anyone else as “enemy” either. Bees and other animals invade “my” territory and I may want them out and will extract them, but they are still not enemies.
- threecheese 9mo agoFor a moment I agreed: Yes, a flamethrower-wielding Till Lindemann with a bare vulva backdrop would scare the shit out of those troops.
- nicbou 9mo agoThe fact that the Lindemann doctrine is back on the table speaks volumes about the state of affairs.

Germany has also given more than most countries to defend Ukraine.[0] No foreign country has deployed their troops to Ukraine. I genuinely do not understand your take.

- anon291 9mo agoGreenland is a European colony in the new world with a mostly indigenous population. America has no interest in mainland Europe. While Ukraine isn't NATO, Ukraine is closer to Germany and Russia presents a more imminent threat to Europe. Germany bankrolled the Russian war of aggression and still does while sending no troops to Ukraine. You can argue nuclear deterrence all you want but America is also a nuclear power, so like... Why is Germany so willing to fight for a European colony rather than its own backyard? To be clear, I do not support American annexation of Greenland. I do support full independence for them ideally under an American protectorate. Europe has no place in the new world. Denmark's position is that they should own it just because.
- LarsKrimi 9mo ago> Denmark's position is that they should own it just because No that is the American position
- juliusceasar 9mo agoWhat a clown show. Conservative Christians and their Project 2025 is all about attacking Europe and becoming friends with Russia and Israel.

- pseudohadamard 9mo ago"The No Funds for NATO Invasion Act makes clear to our allies and partners, as well as those around the world, that it is unacceptable to invade the territory of an ally of the United States". Should actually be called the WTF Act, as in WTF should something like this even be necessary?
