US military conducts first major beachhead operation since WW2
Thousands of American troops freeze to death
marines in ancient AAVs drowning en mass because nobody thought to check if the water had icebergs before ordering a landing
this is like an old school StarCraft battle.net grief move. you wait until your "ally" sends in an attack wave, then send your dudes into your "allies" base and then turn off allies/unshare vision with them.
then when they post "wtf" in the chat, you say, "you should never trust the [your team's race]" or something else deranged.
"you should never trust the [your team's race]"
you should never trust honkeys?
Just so everybody knows, the shortest war in world history was the Anglo-Zanzibar War, which lasted approximately 38 minutes. So if the US invasion of Greenland takes fewer than 37 minutes before Denmark surrenders, it will officially be the new shortest war in world history.
This has been honestly better foreign policy from Trump than I could have ever expected, burn all the bridges in the imperial core even before taking the office
really is a great start of the presidency
You love to see it. I implore all American PATRIOTS to encourage this behaviour from the white house!
Gonna predict a quick and easy war based on enemy official military spending and the size of their standing army, eh? Gotta respect the classics.
And now, Greenlandic Dora in 2026:
"That YanKKKee soldier was just sniped by a qoqassiisarlutik sorsuttut. That's what we in Greenland call a guerrilla fighter. Can you say qoqassiisarlutik sorsuttut?"
edit
That might actually say "guerrilla fighters" rather than just "guerrilla fighter", I'm not sure
I absolutely cannot say qoqassiisarlutik sorsuttut, but I do thank them for their service.
Worked with the Houthi's
I wonder if the US will just straight up start annexing it's allies
It would be hilarious if Greenland got senate seats
I can confidently say the imperial expansion will not include expansion of the franchise
whoops, all Puerto Ricos
I swear to god if I see one more post about how annexing greenland would be sooooooooo stupid because then their democratic representatives would all vote for the socialized healthcare and leftist policies they're used to since they're part of Denmark I'm going to become the fucking joker. The layers on it!
Eagerly waiting for a new Social War in the new Roman Empire.
Greenland has like 50k inhabitants. It will be a territory until american settlers turn it into a mini-alaska.
[Norway declares independence after 277 years of Danish rule, Sweden immediately invades] "God dammit!"
[Norway declares independence after 91 years of Swedish rule, Germany invades 35 years later] "Not again!"
[Norway liberated after 5 years of German occupation, USA invades 80 years later] "WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!?!"
I know everyone is laughing at the absurdity of this but please think of the Inuit who are already colonized by Denmark
I feel like the US is just gonna take it and everyone will pretend it was nice and cool.
That seems like the most likely scenario, cause let's be real who's gonna stop them?
Yes it will be short when all the NATO treaty members all have to launch nukes at each other because of mutual defence.
(I know this won’t actually happen and the us can just do whatever it wants of course)
Also worth noting that article 5 doesn't actually say what people seem to think it says. It just states that each member has to help in some way, but the level of support is completely up to them. It absolutely does not require members to engage militarily.
Canada commits to sending $12b worth of laser guided Thoughts and Prayers
Canada donates their entire military to the invasion of Greenland leaving them completely open to the American Anschluss
Germany sends some rusted chainmail
Support plummets among chewing tobacco enthusiasts once they find out the city of Copenhagen has nothing to do with the price of dip.
nuclear armageddon would be pretty short too
I don't think duration is the key problem with how bad a war is
