EU considers $108 billion in retaliatory tariffs on US over Trump’s Greenland threat, FT reports, and it seems like a long-awaited moment has finally arrived. The frustration has been building, and the consensus seems to be that appeasement just isn’t working with this particular “orange megalomaniac.” It’s a sad reality, but many believe the only language he understands is the language of consequences.

GOP Rep. McCaul says a US invasion of Greenland would mean “war with NATO itself.”
It’s a pretty straightforward statement, really, and the core of the issue boils down to this: any military action by the United States to invade Greenland would be a direct act of war against the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Think about that for a moment. This isn’t just some hypothetical scenario; it’s a potential consequence of certain actions that have, or have been rumored to be, discussed. If the US were to invade Greenland, a territory belonging to Denmark, which is a NATO ally, it would trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty.… Continue reading
