The funny thing about Europe is that despite their ruling class sharing the same ghoulish values as the US, they might actually be the only ones with egos big enough to put up an actual fight. I’ve been seeing some US/EU discourse where each calls the other entitled and snobbish. Of course, that’s not something I’m going to bet on though.
In all honesty I don’t think the other NATO members will be thrilled to alt f4 themselves over Greenland and Trump knows it
Its the old argument on the foolishness of NATO expansion. Mutually Assured Destruction was always horrific but the west was aligned that it would be necessary if say, Germany or France were lost to the USSR. The same cannot be said of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Can any westerner say with a straight face that they’d be willing to end humanity over an occupation of Riga?
NATO is dead the second the US attacks I guess. It will be a US faction versus whoever is the target or stupid/stubborn enough to defend the other NATO target.
If other EU countries can they will absolutely join the US to prevent being attacked themselves.
