Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to acknowledge that the Pentagon has developed plans to take over Greenland and Panama by force if necessary but refused to answer repeated questions at a hotly combative congressional hearing Thursday about his use of Signal chats to discuss military operations.
Democratic members of the House Armed Services Committee repeatedly got into heated exchanges with Hegseth, with some of the toughest lines of questioning coming from military veterans as many demanded yes or no answers and he tried to avoid direct responses about his actions as Pentagon chief.
In one back-and-forth, Hegseth did provide an eyebrow-raising answer. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., asked whether the Pentagon has developed plans to take Greenland or Panama by force if necessary.
That says nothing about attacks of NATO members on NATO members and there are precedents like Turkey taking over and occupying half of Cyprus leading to war between members Greece and Turkey where the other useless members did absolutely nothing because the standard interpretation is that NATO doesn’t protect members from other members. Stop making up theories and spreading misinformation.
It says that members will fight those who attack other members of the group. It doesn’t have to say it specifically its blatantly obvious through a plain reading of the text. The absolute minimum action would be Greenlanders violently resisting and murdering soldiers. Denmark attacking the US to prevent the murder of their citizens and others providing financial support whilst dumping US dollars and sanctioning the US.
1 year in we have 5000 dead US soldiers and a cratered economy, our own citizens are calling military babykillers again, and are suing for peace not because they beat us militarily but because we ruined our own shit.
