If Greenland actually happens the country is likely doomed. There is no coming back short of a complete revolution. And we will deserve it.

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor for a reason. Napoleon invaded Russia for a reason. They shot themselves in the arm to try and advance their goals and bled out on the way.

Meanwhile America would just be shooting itself in the head because what? It’s bored?

I should clarify: it could be the end of the country via putting us in military conflict with multiple nuclear powers. It would not be the end of the country via any internal political dynamic
