Let’s be honest here, the US likely has comprehensive plans for invading every country, including multiple backups to account for different contingencies.
The concerning part here is that someone in a top position is just casually talking about it.
It's noise, junk to get attention away from other things.
What the fuck?!? Why do these nazi’s have such a hard on for Greenland?
I mean I understand that with the melting ice, there are strategic shipping lanes and some rare elements that you’d get with Greenland but for fucks sake we can’t just take it because it’s the new hotness.
It all ALWAYS just boils down to MONEY and resources.
Capitalism requires constant, unnecessary growth. Maybe Greenland has resources that could support US’s unregulated, unrestrained capitalism.
And control of Panama controls trade routes and hidden offshore money laundering.
That’s it. That’s why. Money. The ultra elite wealthy NEED THIS.
The billionaires want the island of Greenland for their climate change bunkers
It's big. That's all. HitlerPig wants it because it's big.
Has he forwarded the plans to the signal group chat yet?
The Pentagon has contingency plans for every situation they can imagine. This is not news so much as it's just another example of Hesgeth being a fucking moron. They have plans to invade everywhere, they have contingency plans to counterattack against a Canadian invasion for fuck sake. They have these plans because if a situation arises, you don't have the time to be cooking up new plans. Hesgeth acting like this is actually a plan that's being considered it just another example of why he's not fit to manage a godamn Mcdonalds, much less anything important.
I guarantee you food service is more difficult than any job he's ever had.
I hate to defend the turd at all, but he was in the military.
That only means he can follow orders, though, which he is doing phenomenal job of doing.
I stand by my statement.
I didn't say you were wrong, either. :)
Vaguely related: I wasn't a fan of the Hogsbreath nickname folks were using. It wasn't targeted enough. I like Pete Kegs'n'Death.
If necessary.
We expecting Greenland to launch nukes or something?
Seriously? Invade Greenland? Who's going to even allow that. The Whitehouse can't just declare war without provocation.
It would literally take an act of congress to ratify such an act.
Did you miss the news? The US is a kingdom again. Trump can do whatever he wants.
...Honestly, it would be best if Fascist America attacked Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and California simultaneously. That kind of malicious action would almost certain get the Trump Regime's dick stuck into a hornet's nest.
Not saying it should happen. But if the regime is dead set on attacking Greenland, it should be in the stupidest way possible.
Don't forget the wars they are thirsting to start in Iran and Taiwan
lmao that would be a wild time... also attacking California would be hilarious 🤣
To be clear, the Pentagon has dusty filing cabinets full of playbooks and wargaming scenarios ranging from plausible to outrageous that various think tanks have cooked up over the years. There is almost certainly a plan to fight an extraterrestrial invasion. I recall one being made about a zombie outbreak during that pop culture craze. We've had plans to invade Canada and Mexico wholesale for decades at least. Their existence doesn't inherently mean that anyone at the Pentagon takes the possibility of the scenario seriously. They're thought exercises as much as they are preparation for the unlikely.
Hint: it's not necessary and never will be.
The only silver lining is that he will text all the strategies out to the world so everyone has a heads up of where to be or not to be.
Greenland isn't a particularly hard place to conquer. It's a tiny population and we literally already have military there. The challenge isn't tactical, it's diplomatic. It'd be a lot more meaningful to ask whether we have contingencies for war with Europe or losing all our bases there.
until NATO steps in.
And I'm sure the EU has plans to defend it, next question.
Or is he just saying that so we’ll talk about that not his signal chat?
If we invade Greenland, I vow to do what I can to not die an American citizen.
I'd be ashamed to be buried here at this point already.
Buried? Ok, moneybags.
I mean, I definitely get your point, but I wouldn't be ashamed to be buried here or to die as an American citizen, even in such an instance or worse, as long as I died doing all that I could to resist.
That's the (original) American spirit!
"Contingent" on what, Kegsbreath?
Greenland making fun of Trump?
Denmark still refusing to "sell" it?
Trumpy needing yet another distraction from some stupid shit he's doing he wants to hide?
You getting cranky from the DTs?
They have plans for all sorts of shit and 99% of them are never used.
While that's true, we have to remember that nothing about this admin is usual. I'm sure we've had plans to invade Panama and Greenland and Canada for generations, surely since after WWII, but now we have an admin run by someone stupid enough to actually try it.
Before WW2 in the cases of Canada, Mexico, and weirdly enough Siberia, not western Russia mind you just Siberia.
This is decades old policy. Contingency plans for every crazy unlikely scenario you can dream up
I'm waiting for more ingo on that on Signal. We should get more info from these idiots any moment now...
A contingency in case of...what?
In case they need a massive public distraction from something else.
In case the orange baby has a tantrum he can't own Greenland
"If necessary"
The OPSEC will be uncanny, one reckons
