C'mon and have a go if you're hard enough

You may have noticed that Trump is threatening to invade and annex Greenland.

Which is part of Denmark.

Trump asserts that the US needs Greenland in case Russia of China siezes it, and that Chinese ships are all over the island.

Ahem.

The US has a treaty with Greenland allowing it to have as many bases as the US wants on the island. And still maintains one of the dozen or so bases it had during the Cold War there.

The US is threatening an ally and member of NATO, and is now going to impose tariffs on any European nation that does not suport his claims, 10% to start with next month, and increasing 25% in June.

A trade war with an ally and fellow member of NATO.

Overnight, Stephen Miller, claimed Denmark was a tiny country with a tiny army and would be worry to US forces.

And yet this show how stupd he and the Trump administation is.

Greenland is not green. It is covered with glaciers, and the eas around it freezes. Getting around is difficult, and care must be taken in supplies that keep the 56,000 people on the island alive.

A US invasion would be mainly fighting the weather, not just fellow NATO troops. And after watching a report from a Finnish Army General last week, I am convinced the US has hardly any Artic combat experience, and once landing on the island, US forces would be open to Guerrilla warfare tactics. Their one base currently survives with three generators, take those out and the servicepeople there would be a few hours from death.

Extreme cold does strange things to rubber and diesel, meaning storage of these and other supplies would have to be in heated conditions. All of which easy targets for under cover attacks.

Moving around is almost impossible, and taks are useless there. Guns jam, and people would freeze without high arctic kit and warm selter to return to at regular intervals.

All kit and manpower needed to prosecute a war in the high artic on Greenland, European forces have at least ten times the resources the US has, and without training and kit, inexperienced troops will get into serious trouble.

The US might have more troops, planes, ships, helicopters and the such, but such overwhelming forces didn't matter to either Napoeon or Hitler when their forces tried to invade Russia. The Greenalnd summer is about three months long, from July to the end of October, the rest of the year its a white hell.

I'd like to see Trump give it a go, for the disaster it would be.

But go on, if you think you're hard enough, bone spur boy.
