Let me put this in words you might understand.

Mr. President, fuck off.

Hi again everybody, it's out five of a pocket in New York.

One of those free-sprane record scratch moments.

You're probably wondering how we got here, as the old saying goes,

when those are the first words from the mouth of a Danish representative to the European Parliament,

a far-right one at that. Denmark, remember, lost more soldiers per capita in Afghanistan,

and the nation responsible for invoking Article 5 as part of that conflict in the first place.

The nation had jumped to defend.

The nation now threatening the sovereignty of its territory in Greenland.

Yes, us, the United States of America.

As we speak, our NATO allies who stood with us shoulder to shoulder in our hour of crisis and tragedy and need are grappling with hypotheticals

scenarios they never dreamed of in their darkest nightmares, things they never thought they'd be

forced to address and plan for. Sadly, they have that in common with American military leadership,

as Tom Nichols writes in the Atlantic today, quote,

American officers know what Trump is planning, the world knows it because Trump won't stop saying it,

and their minds will rebel at directives to take everything they've prepared to do for years and

apply it backwards against the people they have trained to work with and protect.

The president, in other words, will be ordering them to do something they have been trained never to do.

Should Donald Trump pursue this scheme of conquest, the military's training will have to be shattered

and reassembled into a destructive version of itself, as if doctors were asked to take

lifesaving medicines, reconstitute them
