It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now.

The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal
Attacking an ally would be a perversion of everything the armed forces have been trained to do.

If senior officers carry out what Trump is threatening against NATO, “the officers and enlisted people below them will likely obey the chain of command”—and “such an outcome would be a tragedy, and potentially a global catastrophe,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/OtxpMxan

and any other missle heads as we fondly call them: what is the scenario for removing Trump by military coup? Under the banner of 'coup to restore democracy' how does it go?

No, Greenland is a crucial place in the defense of the Northern Hemisphere, which is why *it's already bound to us by the most powerful alliance in history*
It's absurd at multiple levels.
Greenland isn't much useful for America's national security interests. Standing upto China's insane Current Account fudging is, so is helping Ukraine.
America lags behind in processing and refinement of rare earth minerals, not extraction.
Innate stupidity ignorance

Every time someone says "well, it's not an absurd idea," they're normalizing an absurd idea. We have everything we want from Greenland, and Trump isn't thinking about strategy, he's thinking about vanity and conquest.

People need to stop seeing the hand of Putin everywhere. Trump does what he does because he's a vain, stupid person who is gripped with megalomania and narcissism. Don't go for complicated explanations when the simple one is in front of you.
Tom, do you think it's possible that Putin himself put Trump up to this Greenland scheme simply because he knows it will destroy NATO from within?
Or is it simply Trump seeing a big island and thinking "I want it".
Or something else?

The president's threat to impose tariffs on countries that oppose his desire to acquire Greenland shows that he does not see tariffs as an economic tool to help America, but as a weapon to hurt his enemies. That's the fundamental nature of his entire presidency.
