USA is no longer wanting to appear reasonable. It has forever said goodbye to being the world police with limited liability. Instead it’s now only after its own simple selfish gains. And it won’t face other predators but instead work with them if deemed worth it.
The biggest threat to Europe is no longer Russia or china. The most immediate threat to European soil is by the us in Greenland.
I don’t think that trump and Vance are going to stop short of what they announced. They will go for Greenland.
This time the roles are reversed. It’s no longer the US saving Europe as in the World wars.
This time it might go all the way around that the US also invade Canada and that Europa has to find it’s position to bringing them to their senses.
At the end of the day this means that borders become increasingly uncertain.
The question is what policy will prevail. Predator logic or community based on the protection of minority rights.
Btw. I favor the later but I’m also not a fan of the strict division of nations by borders.
I imagine it’ll kick off at once. Canada will defend Greenland as if it were our own.
Your take is quite reasonable, but can we please collectively stop regurgitating this “the US saved Europe in WW1/WW2” nonsense? It’s crazy how much they influenced our perception of history to the point where some of us genuinely believe they were our saviours.

US of the past is the only nation to ever nuke an adversary. It wasn’t necessary either. It was a show of force that could have been as effective if detonated at sea.
You’re right, but all of that doesn’t equate to the US “saving” Europe. We should be grateful for every single nation that contributed to ending the suffering in Europe at the time, so I find it a bit disingenuous to only name the US when we talk about these events.

There is a significant portion of the US that supports all this.
US annexing Canada and China invading Alaska is the scenario from Fallout. But the timeline has moved by ~50 years…
Isn’t it lore that the middle east are gone years before Alaska is invaded?
