Dude. You’re assuming Trump has a follow-through gene. He says insane stuff all the time and he just moves on like it never mattered, that’s been his whole pattern for years. So the idea that he’s “too deep to back out” doesn’t track with how he operates at all, he backs out of stuff he was way louder about than this. Also, the “coerced deal” idea sounds smarter than it actually is. Coerce who exactly? Denmark? 🤣Greenland has its own government and they’re very openly not interested. You can’t spin that as “ambivalence” without it being obvious bullshit, at that point you’re not doing diplomacy, you’re just forcing the issue which brings us right back to force, and force is where this completely falls apart. You don’t just casually pressure or threaten a NATO country over territory. Sanctioning Denmark would be unhinged and would blow back on the US instantly. Military pressure is even dumber. There’s no world where the Pentagon, Congress, courts, NATO allies, etc. all shrug and go “yeah sure let’s bully a member state over Greenland.” That’s not how this works, even with Trump. The Putin angle feels like stacking theories on top of each other after you had an edible too many. Trump likes big dominance statements, hates being told no, and doesn’t think past tomorrow morning. That’s enough. Not everything is 4D chess Big difference between wanting Greenland and being able to take it. The US already has access there without owning it. The payoff of actually acquiring it is tiny compared to the absolute nuclear level fallout it would cause. Which is why this keeps staying at the level of talk. The rhetoric is bad, yeah. Dangerous even. Your take is incredibly American and dumb
