So the draft is the US to have free rein in areas that are used as US bases?
That’s not giving in to the US that’s just basic diplomacy.
You’re kinda already losing when you treat a lunatic president with standard diplomacy.
Are you though?
“Ok Trump how about this. We will let you build a few more military bases that are no different than the ones already there.”
Trump “deal. For that I’m going to back off in taking Greenland.”
Ssh. He is easily distracted and doesn’t understand how literally anything works.
It’s more for folks over here because I feel like the wording makes it sound like Greenland and NATO are caving
The TACO needed to make sure we weren’t mentioning some files or something.
So…
Like embassies?
If this makes him shut up, neat.
It’s not gonna make him shut up. Instead, it’ll just encourage him to ask for more outrageous things next time.

This is exactly what Denmark and Greenland were already willing to do with the treaty it already had with the US. The only difference is now we get to navigate damaged relations for the next couple generations because we needlessly threatened them. Same exact beneficial situation of NATO just with a much shittier diplomatic landscape. What a victory.
