Nah. I wish, but until now Europeans have shown no backbone at all against Trump. When the USA take Greenland, the Danish and Greenlanders are gonna be alone, because that's what happens between NATO members in conflict. The USA, of course, designed it like that.

A UK general said it best. If the US invades Greenland, NATO will naturally dissolve, because it is solely based on trust. Break that trust and it's over.

I bet NATO would have defended Greece against Turkey, but that’s different. Somehow.

European leaders have backed Frederiksen while saying the US "is an essential partner."

Would be one of the most internationally positive outcomes of 2026 if NATO dissolves.

Hopefully will.

Does an invasion/attack by one NATO member trigger an Article 5 response against that country by the remainder of NATO?

I am sure that this scenario has been imagined before (ahem Greece v. Turkey)

Unless countries like the UK and France are willing to deploy their militaries to fight US soldiers in Greenland, it doesn't matter.

I'm 100% sure that not even Denmark will leave NATO.

If only the working class across all nations had a defensive alliance. Oh you wanna go to war? General strike.

Fuck these imaginary lines on a map. We are a divided and conquered species.
