I wonder how they'd spin it in Europe to justify remaining "allies" with the US if they annex Greenland.

I'm thinking they'll blame all on Trump and hoping that as soon as he's out the yanks will go back to being polite about plundering Europe.

They'll probably blame Putin for it somehow. I don't think the average Eurolib will buy it though. They're deranged, but even they can see that the US empire has its own ambitions.

the average Eurolib

You mean the people ranting and raving that Putin wants to annex as far as Northern Ireland?

Yeah, those nerds. I know a bunch of really insufferable ones who seem to hate the EU's response of "monitoring the situation" because they know what's going to happen next lol.

Same thing as with the tariffs, there will be immaterial narratives about Europe turning away from the US, how they're making super somber, long term plans to become more independent and causing massive frustration to Americans, and at the end of the day, it's just some people are boycotting American spirits, and next year's defense budget is up a little to do an extra FON patrol in the Taiwan Strait.

Ukraine. That's the European password unlocking all doors.

That one Family Guy joke but instead of Lois saying "9/11" it's "Ukraine".
