(trigger warning for those overly sensitive readers ~ admin)
If you aren’t paying attention to why Greenland is suddenly becoming a hot topic, let me remind you of a few things.
First, reading is a habit I picked up about age four. It was, and still is, the most important method of retaining information the human brain that has ever been created. Video information doesn’t have the impact of reading as far as information retention is concerned, and if you have a camera and half a brain you can make a video.
Second, Greenland is the cork in the bottle, the stopper that seals Europe’s northwestern borders from Russian aggression. We, the Unites States, help operate, maintain, and use extensively, the passive sonar systems that cover vast stretches of icy ocean waters in that part of the world. We, the United States and NATO, keep the Russian submarine fleet under near constant surveillance and we know where nearly every Russian missile submarine is at all times.
Russian missile submarines carry nuclear warheads that target American cities and military installations.
We, the Unites States of America, are one stupid decision by an aging and slightly coherent orange painted elderly narcissistic felon away from losing this protection from the Russians, forever.
If you are stupid enough to think we shouldn’t try to defend against nuclear weapons that are targeting our nation simply stop reading this right now, because you are not intelligent enough to understand the threat. If your loyalty to a president is greater than your love of America, and you are fine with a nuclear arsenal aimed at your children, then leave now.
We can’t get that system of protection back once we lose it. The moment we declare war on Greenland we lose the faith and trust of our NATO allies. We can’t elect anyone who will be able to go to Europe and tell them it was all a mistake, and the Good America is back.
Europe will respond to all things American as an existential threat, as well they should. All trade treaties and immigration will halt.
Every military installation in Europe will be seized, or worse, will surrender to European forces.
If you think the American military will blindly allow American security in the northern Atlantic to be totally destroyed by the whims of a man who wears a diaper and cannot speak coherently on his best days, you are deluded.
We, the United States of America, have voted into office the one person on this planet that could create the conditions for a military coup.
Men who have spent their entire lives hand in hand with our European Allies to protect this nation are not going to sit idle while the best military alliance in human history is destroyed. They shouldn’t. They should do what they have to do to keep this nation safe, as our military has always done.
You want to know who I trust? I trust the collective of humanity who believes that the unity of free nations is more important than the personal ambitions of two elderly white men who are going to be tried for crimes as soon as they leave office.
If you do not believe this, if the wall falls down, and we discover that isolationism is suicide, I hope your bunker is deep enough to stop a nuke. I hope it’s deep enough to be the final resting place for Democracy, and the dream that the Constitution offered humankind as a guide of governance. Across the world, people are holding their breath, waiting, wondering, and asking, “Where are the Americans?”
Where are we?
Take Care,
Mike
