> My hunch is that the NATO would be dissolved, and everyone would have to team up against the aggressor.

And do what exactly against the US? You can’t invade it, geographically they can easily defend Greenland from any invasion force. And speaking of an invasion force, how many countries do you know that can deploy an expeditionary force strong enough to take on the US?

US would be isolated with sanctions, EU may join to the BRICS (or a partial homologous?).

So I'm not sure if the above is his main intention, or if he is telling Greenland to join the EU (altruism? hmmm), or if we're witnessing how he sent his businesses bankrupt [1] , or if I'm missing something.

Trump specialises in sending his businesses, hotels and casinos bankrupt, to the point banks stopped lending him money, so he turned to the Russian oligarchy for funding.

We are talking about an senary were the market and energy importation from US finish, that would push EU toward the East, Are you sure we will not return to Russia to supply that energy?

Or with other words, Do you think that what happened to the unfortunate Uranians is not related to cut Russian oligarchy tentacles over the EU through energy supply?

Iran finances terrorism. They have nuclear weapons. They are in alliance with China and Russia.

It would truly be a moral catastrophe if the EU decides to join that side. A true moral catastrophe.
