(54,559 posts)1. *IF* Trump's military "took over" Greenland, then
would a sequential (democratic) administration return the territory to Greenland's autonomy? Would this be temporary? And would the U.S. return to NATO?
Or would a democratic Executive be hampered by a republican Congress from these goals?

I've suspected that Trump was trying to incrementally leave NATO by his demands for higher contributions by other member countries. He's ramping up the disengagement b/c he and/or his staff don't believe that he has that much time left to effect this goal.
