After Trump's comment, if I was the Greenland PM, I would order Pituffik Space Base closed immediately. It's not safe to keep US military personnel on Greenland soil anymore.

I'm not fully sure the PM of Greenland even gets to decide on something like that as it is an autonomous region of Denmark, while autonomous it is still a colonial region of a European country that is in NATO, Trump annexing them would only hurt their people, but don't be mistaken it is not a sovereign country currently, most of it's diplomatic relations take place in Copenhagen
That was my first thought. But that is just what putin wants, and probably why he told the useful idiot to say this.

He’s already doing what putin wants, driving the US and NATO countries apart
Death to NATO. Its an objectively good thing for humanity. I don't care if your boogey man also wants it, its a good thing
NATO is just one manifestation of military industrial complex. Just getting rid of it without any global change it would be net negative for the humanity.
The primary issue with NATO is that it's often misused by US for its own personal needs.
The primary purpose of NATO is to maintain western hegemony over the global south to better extract resources and profit from it. It being gone is a net good
Yes, the primary issue I mention is the purpose you are talking about. Thank you for repeating what I said. It being disbanded wouldn't automatically be net positive, since despite the issues it creates, it does serve other valid purposes. You need to address systemic issues, not manifestations of those issues to solve anything. Because if not NATO, it would be another 4 letter organization doing exactly the same thing by exactly the same people.
Considerimg what's literally happening right now, literally today, that's a pretty hot take.
What is literally happening right now, literally today that you think should change people's minds about not supporting nazis?

Considering NATO has been an enemy to humanity since its creation, its about as cold of a take as you can get

I'd prefer not to be at war with Russia, thanks
Just bc you aren't on the battle field doesn't mean you aren't at war with Russia. The US and NATO are just using Ukrainians to fight their war

If you're in the US, you already are lol
But I'm not sure what that has to do with the fact that NATO should be dissolved
I like that you're sharing your opinion. I just want more information about it, so I can either agree or disagree. What about dissolving NATO would be "Good for humanity"?
I'm not in the US
It has to do with the fact that my country exists because NATO protects it. Russia violates our airspace regularly.
my country exists because NATO protects it.
Then "your country" shouldn't exist. Its just a US vassal at that point anyway
