Is Canada an adversary of America? Or Greenland?
What position should Canadians or the people of Greenland take with regards to the people in the US military who are currently working to annex and invade their countries?
What position should the US military take with regards to the people in those countries who are currently working to resist those efforts to annex and invade their countries their homelands?
Do you consider Canadian and Icelandic civilians your adversary? If so, how did that come to be?
I think you meant to write Greenland.
Indeed I did, my brain was a bit foggy when I wrote after a night of partying.
Thanks for catching that.
The times are wild enough that I first checked if Trump had been making any moves on Iceland, just in case I had missed something...
Should the whole of the military quit because the American people were x enough to elect Trump?
There is a Godwin in there somewhere.
I can’t speak to what the American military should do in this situation but I’m curious to hear what HN users think the people of Canada and Greenland should do in this situation.
What would the American response to these kinds of actions be if the shoe was on the other foot?
Given the asymmetry in power how should Canada and Greenland respond?
If the American response to Iranian actions against American allies and interest in the Middle East is to spend half their missile stockpile to assassinate the leadership of Iran how should Canada respond to American threats of annexation and Greenland of invasion?
What’s proportional and sensible here?
