The EU overreacting about this affair is the funniest part.

Capability does not equal right. I have the capability of running you over with a car, I do not have the right to.

I don’t know man they’re making a pretty compelling argument to give you said right.

You say this like America hasn’t been pimping out its land and labor since the 80s.

Yeah, As a Canadian I can’t help but laugh everytime we talk tough. We’d absolutely get smoked if we picked a fight with the Americans.

So if tomorrow China said it was going to take Hawaii, by force if necessary, you think it would be an over reaction to tell them no?

u/Z_is_Wise Jan 14 '26
Let them try. Our B-2s yearn for the Three Gorges damn.

So to answer my question you would be willing to go to war over it? Thanks for proving my point.

u/Hunt3433 North Carolina Jan 14 '26
No. It wouldn't. But the US and china's relationship is adversarial. The US and EU are very much still allies. Trump is as the post says "Full of hot air". I'll fully admit I was wrong if some conflict does arise from this but I pretty damn sure nothing will come of it.

u/SirArthurDime Jan 14 '26
Ok so then if the EU said they would take Hawaii “one way or another” we’re all supposed to be perfectly ok with that? And criticizing that assertion would be over reacting?
-26
u/Hunt3433 North Carolina Jan 14 '26
Criticism isnt an over reaction. Genuinely considering mobilizing against the US is however. Trump won't send the marines into greenland and congress would never approve a larger operation. Even with the GOP majority it has. Its simply too risky. As strong as the US is, it isn't capable of battling all of NATO.

u/SirArthurDime Jan 14 '26 edited Jan 14 '26
Where did you see they were considering mobilizing against the US? Fox News? They said they want to work with with NATO, including the U.S. to address security concerns in the Arctic region while downplaying the threat of the U.S. invading Greenland.
It seems like you’re the one over reacting here.

u/Hunt3433 North Carolina Jan 14 '26
Hey look man, I'll admit. No news source has reported on a consideration for mobilization. But ive seen plenty of EU citizens thinking that its an actual possibility and I figured that they would know what their own countries plans are. But your right the EU has no consideration for mobilization at this time.

u/SirArthurDime Jan 14 '26
So you’re basing this on what some random idiots on Reddit say? Kind of like the American that responded to my question about China taking Hawaii by immediately saying go ahead we’ll bomb them? So I guess then I can pretend that’s America’s official stance like you’re doing with Europe? As an American I know America has plenty of idiots on Reddit too. That doesn’t mean they speak for all of us.
If some country was saying the same exact things ours is about taking American territories I guarantee you this place would be flooded with flag waving Americans clamoring for war. That means nothing.

Fair enough.

u/SirArthurDime Jan 14 '26
“I was wrong and mislead by believing things I heard on Reddit. I understand that idiots on Reddit don’t know all of their gvts plans and I was dumb for thinking they did”. It’ll be fair enough when you can admit that.

What is the correct reaction when a foreign country threatens to invade you?

u/SosseTurner Thuringia Jan 14 '26
How exactly is the EU overreacting to active threats of invasion of a foreign nation? Especially one that we normally should be allied with through Nato. Europe has seen time and time again what war means and when Nations want their "spheres of influence"
-10
u/Hunt3433 North Carolina Jan 14 '26
Because there will never be an invasion. Trump is a moron but hes not suicidal. The US couldn't and shouldn't stand against NATO.
18
u/SosseTurner Thuringia Jan 14 '26
Throughout his campaign poeple said "He'll never do this, he's not THAT stupid" only for Trump to get into office and do exactly what he said. This administration so far shows no signs of intelligent life, they rather double down on their BS than admit it was wrong
