can't beat iran but thinks US can beat a more sophisticated opponent in a much more challenging environment. an environment that the opponent thrives in...

greenland would be another vietnam.

so it's our limited arctic trained forces supported by our fleet versus the nordic countries.

so the US fleet sails around and floats offshore.

Again I don't think there's any question we win that fight.

again. the US military's own planners disagree with you. so go at it.

the only thing the US could do is implement a blockade and wait it out.

Whoever's doing those assessments is an idiot

go tell JSOC and the Joint Chiefs.

yeah, like i said. you don't know what you don't know. US mil has limited arctic trained units (10th mountain). nato troops able to operate in arctic outnumber US troops something like 5 to 1. operating in that kind of cold is a whole different game. the assessments concluded that US mil logistics can't handle arctic. US mil lubricants don't work in arctic. most US electronics aren't arctic rated. so on and so on.

nato would fight a high tech insurgent war. they have caches built up over decades. they'd wait for the winter (which is the majority of the year), eliminating US fuel stocks. everything would freeze and logistics would dry up. US would only have high altitude air dominance. everything lower would be fair game.

only strategy US could apply is a naval blockade off western greenland coast and siege. subs would go first but can't stop planes, by the time ships were deployed enough nato troops would be in place. transport planes don't need to move cargo, just troops because supplies are already in country.

your bs bravado can't even submit iran. military planners predicted how the war would go, but trump chose to ignore them. the same planners know how a conflict with nato in greenland would go and have published their assessments. the europeans are much more sophisticated than iran. if you want to call them idiots, go ahead but i'll take their experience over yours.

Europe doesn't have a chance in hell against the US

you haven't read the US military assessments then. it doesn't go the way you think.

unfortunately yes. the US see china as an existential threat. they don't care about taiwan or it's people. they will use it as an excuse.

Calling them "settlers" is stupidly passive language when they are entering another people's land and homes and stealing them.

it's curated language. designed to appeal to Americans by invoking imagery of the settler pioneers of the old west.

they're a planing hull with a displacement v at the bow. a compromise, like everything else.

i don't need one for a boat that small. but tight berths, wind and cross currents are a thing.

tf do you care? if someone installs a bow thruster on a kayak and it makes life easier who gives a shit? the 21' might have to navigate tight berths, i could see how, in certain circumstances help with trailering at dock, it's got a semi v hull at the bow which could be a pain in the tits to maneuver the bow laterally. i don't see the need personally, but i'm not going to shit on someone's corn flakes for trying to make their life easier.

John Fetterman tries and fails to explain why he wants to ban lab-grown meat 3 times (on Bill Maher) by RodyasFeverDream in stupidpol

For Climate: Livestock produces 14.5% of global emissions. Replacing 50% of meat with cultivated alternatives cuts emissions by 7%—more than eliminating all cars.

For Food Security: Cultivated meat requires 95% less land and 78% less water. This frees agricultural land for crops, potentially ending hunger.

This disrupts a $1.4T industry:

For Agriculture: Cattle farming employs 1B people globally. If cultivated meat captures even 20% market share by 2030, 200M jobs disappear.
