So America will be on Russias side

Now I am reading that Trump plans to invade Greenland which would put them at war with NATO or effectively Disband NATO and Russian bear is coming. I was hoping that America would just pull out of NATO rather then directly attack us.

    He never said that at all, he said the USA should buy Greenland, and he first said it in 2019.

    As a result, Denmark (which "owns" Greenland) significantly increased their Defence budget. Which is what Trump was really angling for.

    ah ok thats a positive then we need everyone in NATO to be strong right now.

    I guess it shows how the elite think of us though, we are just property like any other cattle to be bought or sold.

    basically you buy land from a country people live there so like what you buy the people to?

    So like in theory one country could buy Bournemouth and now I am not necessarily allowed in other UK land as I am no longer UK Citizen I belong to and am the property of whichever country bought Bournemouth?

    No, that's incorrect too.

    Just because he said he wanted to buy it, does not mean he can.

    He's not a well man (mentally), he says all these daft things but does not do them, it's just his rather unsubtle way of negotiating.

    No country anywhere, ever, can buy Bournemouth. Boscombe, perhaps, the naff end, but not Bournemouth.

    America isn't leaving NATO.


    The U.S. is one of the largest arms exporters in the world. NATO countries buy weapons American-made weapons systems from the United States, fighter jets (like the F-35), missiles, tanks, and other defense equipment.

    The US is not going to sabotage any arms deals with NATO countries.

    Nato helps the U.S. economy by supporting jobs, generating revenue for defense contractors and its not only about sales, there are strategic and geopolitical reasons why the US needs to belong to NATO, it gives them a strong foothold all around the world.
