I think we are a bit away from Trump ordering an actual attack, but I suppose time will tell.

Nearer a figure in weeks, rather than months I'd wager.

But I liked my zippo lighter :cry: I mean not exactly bougie but better then a bic.

Besides the real reason you hand over your cig is because you're afraid they'll steal your lighter :D Bics go bye bye. People at least give back zippos.

Zippos are cool. Expensive lighters are cool. Sean Connery showed us.

People pocketing your bic is uncool.

But you lighting their smoke takes care of that.:contract:

I don't like the flavor that the lighter fluid in Zippos give to a smoke.  :x

So far Sweden, Norway and Germany have announced personnel going to Greenland. I expect more will follow.

Danish soldiers have been instructed to resist if they attacked.

Imagine what we could have spent our time and resources on instead of this nonsense. So idiotic, everyone having to pretend there some rationale or meaning behind this.

I doubt the US military will go ahead with this.  There will be pushback.

According to our state broadcaster, the massive reinforcement is two (2), deux, zwei, dos, dois, to people.  :uffda:
You are: Welcome. Plz send red hot dogs.

The US will want to move in before the international reinforcements arrive, so it's very soon now, probably a few days after they start a new war with Iran.

My understanding is that most of the people going right now are there to pave the way for actual troops being sent. They're some kind of logistics/ planning officers most likely.

You think that's how it's going to play out? The US starts a war with Iran in the next couple of day, followed by an invasion of Greenland inside the week?
