    I love it. It is such a stupid move that I can only laugh. USA will lose EU, very close ally with a huge economy. Where is the big part of military supply chain coming from? Well it is EU - i.e. big chunk of F35 is made in Europe. Which would be really smart thing to lose, when US Navy already has issues to build ships in general.

    And then war with China comes around. Take Greenland and it is going to be more like USA against the world, than USA vs China.

    See US's Treaty of the Danish West Indies:

    > During 1916, the two sides agreed to a sale price of $25,000,000, and the United States accepted a Danish demand for a declaration stating that they would "not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland".

    I'm reminded of the Budapest Memorandum (Russia's promise not to invade the Ukraine if the Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum.

    All part of quid pro quo "great power games"; Reflexive Control/Propaganda/Diversion etc. in action!

    US->{Venezuela etc.}, Russia->{Ukraine etc.}, China->{Taiwan etc.}

    Then China will immediately invade Taiwan. They have more right to do so than the US.

    The EU must leave NATO and start its own Military Alliance - without the US.

    This time the alliance mandate, instead of fighting Communism, should be enforcing ICC rulings.

      The EU already has stricter clauses for mutual military aid than NATO does
