Putting your country above others, you mean like Putin is doing to Ukraine? I am all for doing whatever the fuck you want, but don't dress it up and pretend it's something else.
You want to literally start a war, invade a country, grab and conquer some land. Nothing's going to stop the US from doing this, they could have Greenland before breakfast tomorrow.
They could also fly across the sea and invade England, probably take Germany as well. We could play a real life game of RISK and in the end we'd have Russia, China and USA fighting for who gets to control the entire world.
You might think I'm stupid but think about it, really.

Can you tell me what claim USA have over Greenland?

The ability to take it and defend it.

Going great with venez de poopy land so far.

All they did was take two people and threaten they would take more. No oil has been moved to the US. Wouldnt that be a priority?

For decades, the United States was widely described — especially in Europe — as the “world’s policeman”: a guarantor of order, an enforcer of shared rules, and the backbone of a rules-based international system. That idea left a deep psychological imprint on European governments and publics — one that is almost impossible to erase. Many assumed that American power would always act in the interest of Western alliances, guided by shared values, culture, and beliefs; that the West stood on the right side of history and had a duty to promote democracy and order globally.

In reality, the United States has long acted first and foremost in its own interests, not in the interests of allies. What is changing now is not U.S. behavior, but its candor. Statements by the American government — reflected in this discussion — highlight that this is a fundamental unmasking. We are not looking at one radical American leader. We are looking at an entire culture coming out and saying: might is right.

Europe misunderstood its relationship with the United States and is still clinging to the hope that this is just a bad dream. Washington may appear to be an ally — a disagreement, a debate, a relationship to maintain — but the American reality is different: Europe is not an ally in the U.S. calculus. It is a collection of interests that the United States supports only when convenient. Right now, European interests conflict with U.S. intent — and Greenland will be annexed (in my opinion).

The US has carried the team so to speak, extremely disproportionately deprecating domestic quality of life. It's been an asymmetric alliance at best of almost 90 years..In the last decade, as United States has tired, EU nations have made moves away while simultaneously being warned by US (military spends, gas from Russia). Now US foreign policy actually changing and EU is surprised? It's not that the US culture thinks might is right, it's more of, y'all lost your way.

USA is a Superpower afterall. You don't retain that title by keeping alturistic alliances for infinity. 90 years enough. Instead of saying might is right, more accurately could say cuck is wrong.

Using your analogy, Team Europe paid for an external contractor to step in during WWII and has spent the next 80 years paying off that initial job. The contractor found inventive ways (the Marshall Plan) to keep getting paid. England for example, paid off the US for entering WW2 in 2006. This isn’t an alliance. These aren’t allies. It’s transactional payment for services. The contractor never truly joined the team — he was always looking out for himself.

Blaming other nations for America’s non-prioritization of its own infrastructure and domestic systems — say, health care — is misplaced. That’s an internal issue, not an external one, and only relevant as a footnote: the U.S. is built on a culture of rugged individualism, where people, and by extension the nation, look out for themselves first, and help for others is conditional at best. American Culture.

An old man quietly plants acorns in a barren valley, knowing he will never live to enjoy the shade - but his grandchildren will. It’s a story about patience, legacy, and doing good without expecting payment. It’s not an American story, its a French story (granted I can also argue about France all day long!).

The "contractor" lost 400,000 lives saving a bunch of ingrates.

The united states themselves signed a declaration that Greenland belonged to the danish crown but i guess if words and law mean nothing anymore we can all start bombing eachother back to the stone ages.
i would say that the argument that greenland is needed for american security is complete and utter BS.
The US already have, and have closed, multiple military bases in greenland and all they had to do if they wanted to ramp up security there is just ask Denmark. So this is not a security issue whatsoever

The only time that article 5 of Nato was activated happened when the US was struck on 911.
Many European countries have lost soldiers in Afghanistan fighting for the US.

But some in here have a cock too big and cuz they r so stimulated by the recent success of their military (kudos!) the blood doesnt reach the head anymore.
