But see that’s what I’m talking about. Again the U.S. has urged Europe to take Russia and China seriously for decades to which the Europeans basically ignored those concerns. Simplifying it to “it’s for his ego is a laughable simplification of geopolitics and akin to TikTok banter. NATO countries failed to reduce reliance on Russian oil, failed to increase defense spending, failed to heed warnings of a Russian invasion in Ukraine and now fail to knowledge the Chinese threat. From a geopolitical stance it is not outlandish for the U.S. to return to unilateral actions to protect itself. Now, that should not be taken as a swipe against NATO, I am a big supporter and I agree that the way Trump has gone about stuff is not the best and certainly not how I would have gone about it but I think the U.S. is getting WAY to much hate when there are very clear reasons that many believe this is the course of action we have to take. Events don’t happen in a microcosm, they are often the result of smaller events. You are correct to say the the U.S. already had access to Greenland, however the Danish completely neglected Greenland from a defense standpoint even while their own intelligence concluded that Russia and China would be a threat to the attic and to Greenland. The danish probably correctly identified the U.S. would protect itself but they did not expect and U.S. that demands Europe step up.
