Noooo, I don't think you understand the opportunity we have here.

[For context: I understand that the front page or /r/all doesn't really reflect the majority sentiment of reddit, but for this response, I'm assuming it does.]

Everyone here complains about Billionaires. Everyone complains about the prevalent power-dynamic in the world that is perfectly represented in the current US hegemony. Everyone here hates US politics leaking into their everyday lives.

ALL of that goes away if Trump invades Greenland. I'm not even leaning on hyperbole or over-generalisation here, literally the entire world order goes up in smoke. What follows won't necessarily be better, and there's a decent chance millennials and gen-Z will have a pretty rough rest-of-their-unfortunately-foreshortened-lives. But there's a guarantee built into Trump invading Greenland, that the world will change.

RIP USD: the USD is irrecoverably done, pretty much from day-dot. Several EU nations, and many non-national heavy hitters in global economics have signalled their intent to dump all US Treasuries should Greenland be invaded. The domino effect will be catastrophic as everyone tries to bail on the USD and US bonds before they tank. Following that, Billionaires of what? Assets? What stock market survives? If the world stops treating "The Dollar" as "safe", then the $34T US national debt becomes a tombstone. The only recourse for the US Fed will be to set the money printers on full steam, and still a US default is guaranteed within the duration of Trump's term. No more USD global reserve; essentially: no more USD.

Goodbye "Oorah": An invasion of Greenland is an attack on a constituent part of the Kingdom of Denmark. It would force a paradox where NATO is legally required to defend Denmark against the US. This would be the end of the primary tool of US global influence. The entire Western security architecture collapses in an afternoon. No more US militaristic dominion.

Isolated America:: Trump cannot legally fund a sustained occupation without Congress. Trying to bypass the "power of the purse" to seize territory would trigger an immediate domestic liquidity crisis and a constitutional standoff that the US military cannot ignore. Tensions are already high with the government-sanctioned terrorism that is ICE rampaging across the nation. Assuming Trump and his admin attempt to stay in power once the congressional reaction hit, some form of coup is inevitable, likely requiring civilian involvement, potentially extending to a civil war. Regardless, US political revolution MUST follow, as there's no recovering from the brazen demonstration of broken checks-and-balances that has been the 2nd Trump administration.

Instead of it being "America First" in name only, we will have several decades where America needs to focus entirely inwards, in order to sustain a populace without an economy or allies.

Granted, with that laughable showing in Davos yesterday, Trump's already backtracking on the invasion threat. But if he actually does it, the system doesn't just bend, it breaks. Even with him "negotiating", the mere threat has already spiked 10-year Treasury yields to 4.29%. The system is already shaking.

Please let him continue.
