Once the US is at war with 31 NATO countries, having a free Canada — a NATO country — on the northern border suddenly becomes a security risk.
I sincerely hope the American people stops the fascist before he triggers World War 3.

Canada need not worry.
I'm sure Trump will be satisfied once he has the Sudetenland, and we will have peace for our time.

@randahl@mastodon.social That's "senile fascist with probable fronto-temporal dementia".
-
@randahl not forgetting 5 countries in the EU who aren't in NATO after he attacks the territory of an EU nation.
@nomenloony very true. Plus all the allies.
-
This wouldn't be the first time that Canada has had to plan for counter-attacks.
@VikingChieftain very interesting.

@randahl I'm totally ok with Canada sacking the White House again if we attack them again.

@randahl Well he’s going to war with NATO, and he’s testing the allies’ resolve by picking on Greenland first.

If Trump invades Greenland on a Monday, all American assets in Europe will be frozen by Friday. Come Monday they'll be seized.

@randahl I'm curious what the mood is like on various US military bases throughout NATO? Are service members getting their asses kicked by the locals if they go off-base? When I was in the Navy, that was definitely a thing we were aware of when we travelled.
-
@randahl The talking heads here in Canada postulate that after Greenland, Trump will make the same arguments to take the artic archipelago, at which point we'll be surrounded on all four sides, just waiting for the inevitable final takeover.
@rjohnston @randahl We’ll be waiting for the attempt. They will never win.

@randahl
Trump&Co. aren’t going to be as successful at any of this as they would like us to believe. None of them have actually ever played this game before. The odds are stacked against them in my opinion. -
@fsinn Bookmarked. Thank you. But let's not get carried away with logic. This is the guy who's bullying people for their Nobel. @VikingChieftain @randahl

@dnkboston I don’t expect him to reason, and he’ll likely be dead anyway. I hope Republicans in Congress fear for their futures enough to act.

@fsinn @randahl Easy for a dude from Austria to say that, as Austria does not participate in "nuclear sharing" with the US. That is to say, the US doesn't make B61 nuclear weapons available to Austria - like we do for Belgium, Germany, Italy, Turkey, or The Netherlands.
I don't doubt that some NATO members will re-think their relationship with the US over Trump's idiocy. I'm not sure every country that currently enjoys access to B61 bombs will give them up for Greenland, though.
But with Trump's constant stream of bullshit, I wouldn't be surprised if maybe those countries with B61s today might make some discreet inquiries to UK or France or Israel for a "technology transfer".

@grumble209 “Rethink”?
An attack by the U.S. on Greenland puts the U.S. at war with all but a few NATO countries, and perhaps most notably, Canada. Every country that has already sent troops for “exercises” or to demonstrate their commitment, or has otherwise affirmed their commitment to fulfil their obligations under Article 5 have already said they would walk away from the U.S. to defend Greenland and Denmark.

Some pieces on this:
https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2025/02/13/Do-Not-Test-Us-Trump/Yes, the US military would have to deal with a Canadian insurgency, but they would also experience domestic sabotage that would make the Atesh look like amateurs. The US isn't Russia. Some 68-69% of eligible voters didn't vote for Trump. If even a small percentage of those people decide that Trumpism must end, you will see sabotage events popping up across the US like Fourth of July fireworks.
