CMV: NATO sending troops to Greenland would help legitimise any U.S. annexation
If NATO were to send troops to Greenland, I believe it would unintentionally strengthen the political case for a U.S. annexation rather than deter it.
My reasoning is not primarily military or legal, but narrative. Trump’s domestic support is driven far more by story than by institutional logic. A NATO deployment would allow any future annexation to be framed as a response to provocation, encirclement, or foreign interference. Even if that framing is weak or inaccurate, it would still be emotionally sufficient for much of his base.
Without NATO troops, no such narrative exists. Any annexation would stand alone as a unilateral act of territorial seizure. That would not prevent it from happening, but it would force it to be seen more clearly for what it is, both domestically and internationally. Silence denies narrative oxygen.
Most arguments against NATO deployment focus on escalation risk, alliance unity, or legal complexity. I think the narrative dimension is more decisive. In modern geopolitics, legitimacy is often shaped more by story than by treaties or troop numbers.
Restraint does not stop annexation. But it removes the ability to present annexation as reaction rather than ag

It's just the most incredible thing! You spank with a belt, slipper, the hand, take off his pamper to do it; maybe the corner; sometimes you use withholding food! It's insane!
When the cop asks 'what kinds of things does he like' 'what does he do for fun' 'what toys does he like playing with? Etc., nothing.
What do you do with your child for fun? Do you feed him age-appropriate foods regularly--and also when he's hungry? What's his favorite color; shoe size FFS?
Do you read to him, engage him, take time out to bond with him, tell your asshole boyfriend 'don't touch my child?
I mean seriously! If we really don't know how to do better in the 21st century, WTF?
In order for black lives to matter, they have to matter to black people 'first! If that's too much, please don't have kids the world can step on just for existing who have to also suffer because you don't know how to love them and can't be bothered to learn!

I’m scared of the police where I live.
The police where I live are constantly being arrested themselves, stalking, harassment, even certain crimes involving minors. Now a more, let’s go with “aggressive” police force is around and they don’t get arrested regardless of what crimes they commit, assault or murder, it still leads to nothing. People near me are being imprisoned and forced out of their homes. Our government says it’s only if you commit crimes but the people they attack show differently. I was born here, but I no longer feel safe. I hope I can leave soon.
