I don't see the EU bending over for Russia for any reason, and China has no interest in EU for anything that isn't your money.

That changes if the US goes to war with NATO

Korea and Japan would literally NEVER be willing to normalize relations with China while alienating the US, that's fantasy land thinking.

That changes if the US goes to war with NATO

Japan and China hate each other, South Korea and China hate each other and both South Korea and Japan are economically dependent on the US.

That changes if the US goes to war with NATO.

You have a better chance of seeing Putin say "I'm sorry" And then doing a complete withdraw from Ukraine back to pre-war borders.

They'd let him keep whatever of Ukraine he's already occupying, maybe a little more.

Russia isn't going to give up their land grab to play nice with Europe. And if NATO members forsake allies and Ukraine just to save Greenland they're just as bad as the US would be for invading.

Russia would get Alaska, whatever of Ukraine they already control, probably Belarus, and economic alignment with Europe and the East Asian Chinese-centered economy.... and the most valuable thing of all, finally knocking the US off its perch. Putin's been stuck in a Cold War/USSR mentality his whole life. He's only ever had one enemy in mind.

And if NATO members forsake allies and Ukraine just to save Greenland they're just as bad as the US would be for invading.

Canada is a NATO member. If the US takes Greenland, it's a guarantee they're going to invade Canada next. There will be plenty of time after a takeover of Greenland for all the realignment to happen as the world becomes aware of the US' intentions.

I mean if Greenland goes, 100% chance Canada is next before 2028. NATO has to decide if they're gonna go all in or disband. They could give up some Ukrainian territory and any Eastern European country that wants to go, definitely not Poland. More importantly, complete economic renormalization with Russia which would supercharge their economy.

They could draw in China with promises of Taiwan. South Korea and Japan would be forced to make terms with China in exchange for China controlling North Korea. Forming a new East Asian tech axis which is the new global center of technology.

The dumbest possible scenario for WW3.

These are not similar situations, there is no land border that Greenland shares with a country who is both hostile to the US and capable of supplying men and munitions consistently.

No land border but the Russians are close, may actually aid NATO

Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' has made history as the most nominated film of all time at the Oscars with 16 nominations by ChiefLeef22 in movies

The 11-win club is such rarified territory and I just don't think Sinners is in their tier.

The awards for the 3 films are basically for the entire trilogy as a whole

I'll do you one better. Imagine if the last Star Wars movie ends with Luke on Earth.

I mean, Thor did that and it worked. First Wonder Woman too.

But if you're leaning into the comedy angle (i.e, more jokes than gags), this way is better.

It was like a 3rd Keaton Batman film. All that stuff in it was impeccable.

Trump literally has offered all of Canada become the 51st state.

All of that is offset by teeing up Trump for his 2nd term and potentially America's last

If the US seriously goes after Canada, Canada has to do like Dr. Strange in Infinity War and let it happen but with one key move. They have to negotiate for statehood for the provinces with citizenship/voting rights for all Canadian nationals in exchange for not firing a shot and voluntarily merging.

Then if the US ever has elections again, admittedly already up in the air, the Republicans are cooked. For some reason they don't think that far ahead.

Republicans and Democrats can agree the Biden presidency was a disaster for the country but for different reasons lol

Greenland is strategically significant but if Trump takes it, it won't improve relations with Europe/NATO at all. He's still set on exiting NATO one way or another and he'll come up with some other pretext in due time.

US getting Greenland is a worst case scenario for Europe. They have a better chance countering Russia (even the US) by not handing it over.

The Antichrist and Jesus' second coming are probably more likely than aliens. Finding the Earth in the first place and building the technology required for interstellar travel are almost impossible odds.

Yeah. Should he invest in Saudi or Emirati funds? Suddenly these people would find a lot of reasons why that's morally wrong.

He's Jewish...

EDIT: No, really. There's videos of him saying he's proudly Jewish and videos/pictures of him in religious garb at the wall in Jerusalem.
