    Assume he would, what do y’all think will happen? Technically I guess all NATO countries should defend Greenland, which means war with the US, which means kick-starting WW3. On the other hand, if the US attacks NATO is there even an alliance left? I think there might very well be countries who, when faced with the option of cowardice or war with the US, will say “fuck it, NATO is void and we really don’t want to be nuked over Greenland”.

    If at all possible, I’d really love it if we can postpone WW3 until after I’m dead.

      Nato allows to say “fuck it”, because Nato article 5 only requires some support.

      But EU article 42 requires support by all means.

      However, because of the implication, nothing military will happen.

      Question remains: would such an act be enough motivation for Congress to impeach Trump?
