    If donald orders it, it’s an illegal act and the personnel could lawfully decline the order.

    There has to be a declared war in order to lawfully engage in battle.

    – Now whether they follow those orders or not has yet to been seen

    The Joint Chiefs of Staff would all likely resign if that were to happen.

    Has the leadership been sufficiently purged of sane people yet?

    We already have a base there. We don’t need to own it.
    We can already do what we want. What’s the difference?

    Anything to take the minds of Americans off their retirement savings.

    Yes. The invasion of Iraq order was followed.

    yes it would be, the president has the ability to start a conflict and keep it going for 180 days without congress authorization. it would be a legal order

    you do realize he can just say Greenland is now part of US and his bootlickers will believe it right?

    there is no need for anything else. he’ll tweet he did it and go back to golfing.

    No, because we already have a military presence in Greenland and have had one there for literal decades, and we’re there with greenlands consent, stop fear mongering

    They really don’t even need to invade it. A navy blockade would do it unfortunately

    I’m curious if Trump genuinely has some serious intent behind it. And if so, I wouldn’t be surprised if some bs pretense scenario occurs. It’s a little bit tinfoil hat, but without a false flag scenario I’m not sure how an invasion there would ever really happen.

    It will never come to that, but if it did rest assured the military would follow their orders.

    The very very small percent who refused, wouldn’t even make a blurb in the headline.

    We sure made a mess out of Iraq and Afghanistan without declaring war.

    Yes, because the Military is pro Trump. What you see on reddit is less than 1%. They won’t go against the flow. You might see some objectors. Think they will do anything that will fuck up their paycheck?
