The Greenland Crisis Has Broken NATO

Well, that could have gone worse, right? I mean, at the moment, President Trump stood before the audience at day those yesterday to begin his speech, who appears that he might do something truly extreme. An ounce of the dissolution of NATO, maybe, or inform his audience that Delta Force was already on route to Greenland to kidnap the island's prem, yet.

Well, I'll let we jest, but I mean a little bit, right? In truth, America's allies woke up yesterday morning expecting the worst. Instead, they got a speech that was still bad, but just not quite bad enough to precipitate a transatlantic meltdown.

The headline moment was Trump ruling out force to annex Greenland, that an American president promising not to attack a treaty ally, was seen as a good outcome, shows you just how wild this timeline is already, but while the speech took military action off the table, with tariff threats dumped soon after, it didn't solve the deeper issue.
