You're dumb as shittt. We have NATO troops all over the world. 

• Military Organization: NATO has its own command structure (Military Committee, IMS, ACO, ACT) to plan and execute military actions, distinct from national forces.
• Force Structure: Member countries place forces at NATO's disposal for operations, forming the "Force Structure".

Having a plan in place for coordinating a NATO response isn't the same thing as having an actual army, moron.

Boy, you're really dumb.

NATO troops in Europe are primarily stationed as multinational Enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) battlegroups on the Eastern Flank in Poland, Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), and now also in the Black Sea region (Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Finland), led by different member nations, alongside substantial U.S. forces, especially in Germany, with ongoing discussions about potential U.S. troop adjustments amid shifting geopolitical dynamics.

I already explained it to you.  We spend money on defense.  NATO members all do.

If we pull out of NATO, we will need to spend MORE money on defense because we lose our allies and their help.

Stocks Post Biggest Drop in Months as Tensions Over Greenland Mount

President Trump’s intensifying standoff with European leaders over the fate of Greenland prompted a sharp response from investors Tuesday, with the value of U.S. stocks, the dollar and government bonds all falling.

The S&P 500 dropped over 2 percent for the first time since October, as investors reacted to Mr. Trump’s increasing threat of higher tariffs on European allies unless they supported his plans for America to take control of Greenland. The Vix volatility index, known as Wall Street’s fear gauge, rose to its highest level since November.

Tuesday’s opening decline was the index’s biggest since April, when Mr. Trump first proposed sweeping tariffs on nearly all of America’s trading partners. And while the sell-off remained contained for now, with the S&P 500 still close to its record high, the moves showed a clear increase in investor concern over the future of the established world order. Investors had become inured to geopolitical upheaval in recent years because it has typically had little impact on corporate profits.

Investors’ confidence wavered on Tuesday even as Mr. Trump boasted about a long list of embellished achievements in remarks to reporters, among them the strength of investments in the United States and the stock market’s returns over the course of his first year in office.

“We have the hottest country in the world right now,” Mr. Trump said.

The moves in financial markets told a different story. Often when stocks are roiled by geopolitical upheaval, investors flock to the safety of other U.S. assets, like the dollar or government bonds. But in a sign that investors were embracing a “sell America” trade and moving away from U.S. assets altogether, both the dollar and U.S. government debt lost value on Tuesday.

Eric Teal, chief investment officer at Comerica Wealth Management, said investors should be “playing defense at this juncture,” focusing on geographic and sector diversification while the current uncertainty lingers.

The dollar index, which pits the currency against a basket of currencies that represent America’s major trading partners, fell 0.8 percent. The dollar weakened against the euro, British pound and Norwegian Krone.

The Swiss Franc, another haven in times of uncertainty, strengthened almost 1 percent against the U.S. dollar. Gold and oil prices also climbed higher, with the precious metal up 1.8 percent in another sign of investor caution.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, which moves inversely to price, also rose, meaning its value declined. This yield acts as one of the most important interest rates in the world by underpinning interest rates across consumer and corporate debt.

This is the kind of reply you get when you hear from people who have no money and no investments in the market or anywhere else. They live their lives paycheck to paycheck and are really angry about it. 

I'm up 19% on my investments on this year alone. And it has not been trailing off in the least. I'm making more money than before I retired when I was in my mid 50's. And yes, the market goes up and down, but I never freak out about it. 

People who are smart, work hard, and save and appreciate what they have in life are happy. 

Dopey hate filled broke liberals keep trying to bring other people down with their political motivations because they are themselves miserable.

AI Overview

(The) U.S. military personnel could refuse to attack Greenland, as they are obligated to disobey patently illegal orders, and an unprovoked invasion of a NATO-aligned, friendly territory like Greenland (part of Denmark) would likely be considered unlawful and highly immoral, potentially leading to immense constitutional crisis and military refusal, though it places individuals in perilous situations. While the President can order planning, actual combat execution of an illegal order can be refused by service members, with legal backing for disobeying such fundamentally unlawful acts.

Yup. Only a shithole, not even a country. Just roll in and "liberate" by deporting everyone with dark skin. Then transplant those poor Afrikaners who've been getting butchered by the thousands! They'll like it there!

It all comes out now.  Denmark got Greenland because they gave us Epstein island.

Epstein never goes away.

But you'll certainly trust him when he says something like "I'll be a dictator on Day 1", and extrapolate that to meaning "for his full term", right?

Does he?  He didn't turn the CECOT flights around when the court ordered him to.  He ignored the Garcia ruling for months.  DOGE kept SSA access when they were ordered not to. Lindesy Halligan stayed in her role and indicted many after courts ordered her illegal.

He continues to break laws like the Epstein Transparency Act.  Tariffs that violate court orders and the constitution.  Extorsion of law firms.  Taking away the power of the purse from congress.  Numerous other EOs that usurp congressional power.

He's been the dictator that we all said he would be, and you dismissed.  Told you so.
