    The US isn’t going to invade Canada or Denmark, that’s just Trump talking all bravado and trying to get a deal with each. The US wants bases in the Arctic, and Canada and Greenland have land there. He’s teasing Trudeau and trying to broker a land deal with Denmark.

    The Iraq thing was completely stupid though. It was lumped in with the “War on Terror,” but it had nothing to do with terrorism. In fact, Saddam was doing a decent job keeping terrorism in check. I’m still confused about the actual goal there (pretty expensive just for oil…).

      The original question was

      But are they worried the US won’t defend if a NATO country is attacked?

      and I’m pretty sure the current US won’t. In fact, here’s my prediction on what will happen:

      In the upcoming weeks Trump and Putin will split the Ukraine between the two of them. Encouraged by that success, Putin will try to invade Finland in order to reinstate the Russian Empire. Most of NATO will of cause stand with Finland, but Trump (confusing Finland with Denmark, as no true American can tell these nordic countries apart) tries to make a deal: “If Finland wants our support, they must hand over Greenland”. As Finland obviously can’t do that, Trump will say: “Then we must invade Greenland before the Russians get it”. But confusing Greenland with Canada (as no true American can tell these nordic countries apart) he will actually invade Nova Scotia. TBH, I think this orange idiot is so clueless, he might actually try to invade Alaska, believing it to be Canada.

        Lol.

        If we’re going to invade any part of Canada, I vote for British Columbia. We’ll tell him it’s west Washington DC, but Britain claimed it, so we need to take it back. It’s gorgeous up there.

            he can try… There is a reason this region was the birth of the french navy commando 😏 . The “fusilliers marin” who gave birth to the “commando marine” has a reputation on never loosing a place they protect even when they are completely surrounded (for example Dixmude during WWI or Bir Hakeim during WWII ^^)
