Trump’s invasion of Greenland would be ‘the shortest war in the world’ – POLITICO
www.politico.eu

The U.S. has — by far — the world’s largest defense budget, spending $948 billion last year. Its armed forces have 1.3 million personnel — some of them currently stationed in Greenland. Denmark, for its part, last year spent $9.9 billion, has only 17,000 soldiers, and most of its heavy land-warfare equipment has been donated to Ukraine.

      I want based Norwegian guerillas on skis sniping yanks in the mountains.

      I am incidentally an American in Norway, and I've always been very firmly opposed to the US military presence in this country. Which probably means I'd be among the very first people the Yankee occupying forces would execute if they were to formalize their occupation.

      If I survive, however, rest assured that my partisan brigade would gladly take in any of my drafted cousins who wish to desert their posts. It would probably be the most effective force fighting the Yankees, too. It would be named after my communist great-granddad who derailed an enemy train the last time a fascist settler-colonial state invaded the Weathered North.
