(15,361 posts)I do think that the NATO countries will stick together (Because is it is not just about the US, it is about the country to their east).
I do think it is likely that countries will act as projected with US military bases in their countries.
It is possible that some of the economic things could happen.
The one thing I don't see is the corporate part - the rich making money is always priority number one.
Not sure about the travels stuff, maybe.
All that being said, it will not only completely alienate us, but also overtly put the entirety of the world at odds to us, and yes, it will hurt economically.
But, all of that only means something to us.
This has been building for MANY years, long before DT came down the escalator, and this country has indulged with wing lunacy time and time again and held Ds to a MUCH higher standard than Rs.
We as a country should have had the simple common sense to realize its a cult and these are not rational people, but they always got more grace than us adults did.
There were MANY free and fair elections prior to 2016, and this country could have let the adults run it, but instead gave "conservatives" majorities and power in most states, gave them majorities in congress, let them not sit SC justice when they should have while going on about Hillaries emails.
The reelected the guy who staged a half hearted coup when he lost the election prior.
WTF did people think was going to happen?
My point here is that this country gave stark raving mad lunatics every lever of power, when it was clearly obvious they were not let of of them when they them this last time.
So, DT and MAGA could care less about the consequences that come with what they are doing with Greenland. It will blow up in their faces like everything else they do and have done for many decades, they won't admit it, they certainly won't take responsiblity for it. They will gaslight their zombie base and blame it on the libs and move on to the next crazy ass thing.
