Fascinating analysis by Aurel Sari on mechanisms to effectively suspend a #NATO member (or lack thereof).
https://www.justsecurity.org/66574/can-turkey-be-expelled-from-nato/
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…
#NATO expansion according to #Russian #propaganda:
American: Let's expand into Poland!
NATO expansion according to the rest of the world:
Warum sollte die #NATO zerfallen, nur weil der Schurke Darth #Trump, der schon in der ersten Präsidentschaft die NATO in Frage gestellt hatte, Freund angreift als wären es Feinde.
Dann verliert die NATO halt ein Mitglied. Zugegeben das mit Abstand stärkste Mitglied. Aber umso notwendiger wird es sein, dass a…
Objectively USA is already allowed to do anything it wants militarily on Greenland, Rutte probably "repackaged" it into a framework, well done

"I'd love President Trump to come and see me," she says.
"I'd soon tell him how it is being an Army wife and an Army mother, and what it is to lose a child in those circumstances, something that he knows nothing about."
I'd love for him to go meet her too. He could meet a mother from every NATO country that he has insulted and betrayed with his idiotic, ignorant and disgustingly narcissistic remarks.
This is how century-long friendships and alliances are destroyed.
Americans: don't say sorry. Say, "I'm going to change this”.

If several European countries send troops to Greenland (as seems to be happening) they will make it difficult for Trump to just take control. I am wondering which US military officers will be willing to give the order to attack their NATO allies?

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.
And Canada is weighing its options. There was already a RCAF exercise planned to be happening in the area now before TSHTF. The question is whether to be part of the European buildup (editorial: YES WE SHOULD)
“A Royal Canadian Air Force contingent is already taking part in a pre-planned NORAD exercise in Greenland, but the prime minister is weighing whether to send additional forces as part of sovereignty exercises the Danes are planning, which could include drills to protect the Arctic island's critical infrastructure. “

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
If you remember that Rutte has to speak on behalf of all NATO-members (including the USA), his speech is quite strong.
#NATO
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.

“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.”

#USA attacking #NATO over #Greenland. You know you've seen this scene before.
#Politics…
I watched the latest video from @… where he spoke with a German analyst and author ostensibly about the author’s new book… but it really was about how NATO may be on the verge of collapse right now and what the new reality might look like. Highly recommend Canadians watch this.
My only complaint and comment completely selfishly, is the absence of Canada 🇨🇦 in the discussion. I have to say I am feeling more than a little apprehensive, even isolated. I know Canada is not exactly pulling its weight and won’t be a major player in whatever Europe needs to do to secure itself in a post-NATO reality.
But I am definitely left wondering and more than a little worried…. What the heck is Canada going to do?
We border Greenland. We are deeply connected to Ukraine socially. We have a force in Latvia.
Anders, if you have thoughts on this, I would be interested, as would others.
Is a transatlantic alliance impossible without the USA?

Seriously though.... the frontpage of the BBC today would be absolutely mindblowing to anyone living in the world in 2015.
Also. Putin must be very.... VERY... happy for this.

Addendum: and the first thing we need to do to shore up our own borders, is have a long talk with Alberta about ending this separation talk and coming together as Canadians. #canpoli #cdnpoli #usa #nato #norad #russiaUkraineWar #theAmericanFascist
I've been a bit of a broken record on this... but the fact that Greenland's only North American neighbour, Canada, is not participating in this is concerning.
All we had to do was send literally one military attaché or something.
We are isolating ourselves. Trump doesn't give a *ck what we do, and the Europeans are being shown that our “pragmatic" leader is actually utterly spineless.

Trump is now implying that Canada is dependent on the USA acquiring Greenland in order for it to gain “protection” under the “golden dome”.
It is time for Canada to end its participation in the Golden Dome and NORAD until the USA once again becomes a trustworthy global nation.
We cannot be dragged into complicity with international crimes.
It is time for Canadians to have a very very deep discussion about our military, our own expectations, and our neighbour. The days of “the longest unguarded border” are gone.
We need to consider a much more European stance. A much more Ukrainian stance.

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!!

So... #TheAmericanFascist is
1) suppressing speech (citizens and visitors)
2) launching trade wars with other nations
3) rounding up immigrants and citizens
4) launching military missions for economic gain
5) threatening other countries, near and far, ally or not,
and now….
6) increasing military spending by half from $1 Trillion to $1.5 Trillion.
This is the most dangerous man to world peace, stability, and human life since Adolf Hitler, period.

If the USA tries to move on Greenland, there ain’t no one in Canada who thinks we should just sit idly by…. At least according to this extremely scientific polling.
