There is no clear provision in the #Nato treaty for #expelling a country,
though its preamble does commit the US and other allies
“to live in peace with all peoples and all governments” and
“to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilisation of their peoples”
– wording once intended to be u…
I was a bit slow in my thinking but the fact that grabbing Greenland also breaks NATO could actually be an extra reason for Trump to do it.... The alliance is one life-support anyway... Also there is good chance that the EU will struggle to reach consensus on a reaction, divisions will increase, all wins for Trump....

#NATO expansion according to #Russian #propaganda:
American: Let's expand into Poland!
NATO expansion according to the rest of the world:

RUSSIA PLANS ATTACK ON ESTONIA: #NATO ON HIGH ALERT Vlog 1195: War in #Ukraine
2025 was the year of appeasement... of Europe and NATO.
My prediction for 2026 is that this will be the year Trump fully turns his back on Europe completely and officially turns American foreign policy to one of “non-alignment”.
This means the USA will officially or through effective posture, suspend its membership in NATO.

Heute vor 46 Jahren: Am 12. Dezember 1979 beschlossen die NATO-Staaten die Stationierung neuer atomarer Mittelstreckenwaffen (#NATODoppelbeschluss). Die Begründung lautete: Die SS-20 und modernisierte Kurzstreckenraketen hätten die sowjetische Überlegenheit in Europa vergrößert.
If you remember that Rutte has to speak on behalf of all NATO-members (including the USA), his speech is quite strong.

You know what I haven't learned to say in Spanish? F off…
“Spain has not come through, Spain has not been loyal to NATO,” Trump said from the White House... Trump added, “I think Spain should be reprimanded for that. … But that’s up to NATO and Spain.”
¿Qué dirías tú, ciudadanos de España? :D
Muchas gracias!

Dass #Selenskyj den angestreben #NATO Beitritt aufgibt, ist nachvollziehbar.
Vor allem wird er erkannt haben, dass mit Darth #Trump die #USA
Whoa: “Western peace troops could, under certain circumstances, push back Russian forces, declares Merz”

“Scathing Polling Reveals What Key U.S. Allies Really Think of America Under Trump”
The world has changed in its stance to the USA and I am glad Canadians are leading the way.
““When asked whether the United States supports or challenges its allies, Canada again stood out as the most critical. Sixty percent of Canadians said the United States challenges its allies.”

Now #TheAmericanFascist has appointed an 'envoy' to help convince Greenlanders to ditch Denmark and join the USA. Denmark is shocked and angered, as they should be. Greenlanders are wholly opposed.
There is poetic irony of a Louisiana politician being tapped to lead a "Greenland Purchase" by America. I very much doubt the result will be the same. But there are some interesting parallels.
Lousisiana Purchase (1808)
a) Made possible by squabbles and warring in Europe.
b) involved purchase of 2.14 million km2 of North America for $380 Million in 2024 dollars. Greenland is 2.17 million km2.
It's difficult to fathom just how undervalued the Louisana Purchase was...nevermind the whole — selling Indigenous Lands without Treaty — issue. But hey... that would be another parallel with today's Inuit and Greenland Peoples.
Back in the modern context, America's Fascists just want to do Fascist things like take over sovereign countries and oppress nations, not unlike Hitler, the Kaiser's Germany, the Napoleans, Imperial Britain, Conquistador-ist Spain, and Tsarist-Stalinist-Putinist Russia.
This all needs to be kept -- forefully if need be -- in the past. We cannot allow these regressive dictators to come back.
He must be stopped.
United States of America!
Americans!
Stop prancing around with Christmas presents as if nothing is happening and DEPOSE YOUR PRESIDENT ffs! This is ON YOU first and foremost!!
