Stop eyeing and start doing, Europe! Once US troops are in Nuuk, it's going to be too late to do anything.
This. The orange bufoon is only encouraged by lack of action. We need to slap him the fuck up, figuratively speaking.
I share the sentiment, but in IR, you only change policy based on events, not rhetoric. The moment you make real changes based on shit people say, but not do, you're just a dancing monkey while they wax lyrical.
We should be well prepared in advance for that event. Prevention, planning, and strategizing are key elements that can help avert the worst-case scenario.
Always
That's how it used to be, until Trump came along.
"Freezing" it? Fucking burn it up.
I know this may sound like a crazy idea, but maybe put some …. tariffs on US goods?
The trade deal that is so ridiculous that it will never be ratified?

That "deal" was a non binding piece of paper given to Trump to make him happy. It never was going to really happen.
Trump's "deals" are not worth the paper they're printed on. He changes his mind whenever he wants. Take a lesson from Canada.
