I don't understand their endgame here. I'm sure they could take over Canada by force if they wanted, but keeping it is a whole other matter. They should have learned from the many wars they fought that occupying land the locals don't want you to occupy sucks.

They already have strategic control over Greenland. Denmark would let the USA do almost whatever they want on greenland.

Denmark probably were the USAs biggests bitch in Europe until they started threatening Greenlands sovereignity.

Hard agree. Why do people always expect someone else to foot the bill for their parking needs?

Your car takes up space when parked. Somebody is paying for that space, so you need to do so when you park there. It's not that difficult.

"who else but this guy could have designed this?"

I was thinking the exact same thing when I first saw the cybertruck. It just wasn't In a good way.

Sure it is. You just confiscate the infrastructure that operates them here on earth, and order their employees to comply.

I don't think that this would be a good idea, but it is definitely doable.

I actually agree with you that, the EU/Europe destination doesn't matter that much, but my pedantic side have to point out that "Europe" technically also include Belarus and a big chunk of Russia.
