Daily Mail - President Trump has asked JSOC to prepare the Greenland invasion plan, but the joint chiefs of staff are resisting on the grounds that it would be illegal - and wouldn’t be supported by Congress.

@newsguyusa seriously, though, if we are going to throw away international law and 80 years of NATO alliance, could we take over some of the nonfrozen parts of Europe instead? I like Cinque Terre.

@newsguyusa I don't know what this would even look like. Greenland is the size of Alaska and California combined with fewer than 60,000 people. I'm fairly certain if I squandered my life savings that I and all my friends could "invade" Greenland undetected (contingent on it being summer and only staying a few weeks).

ANY country 's armed forces could establish a beach head somewhere but to what end?

@darren @newsguyusa Its both he wants Greenland cause it's big and wants people to stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles

So far it's working

@newsguyusa It’s reported that such an action by Trump could effectively end NATO. Sounds like one of Putin’s primary goals. Guess his puppet is acting as commanded. Fortunately the Joint Chiefs recognize that NATO is way more important than the whims of the executive branch.

And every one of them that doesn't resign in protest needs to be executed for treason.

@newsguyusa "A diplomatic source said: 'The generals think Trump's Greenland plan is crazy and illegal. So they are trying to deflect him with other major military operations. They say it's like dealing with a five-year-old'."

Best quote from the article.

@csstrowbridge
Resign and let him replace them with others who will do what he wants? Why?!

@bouriquet @newsguyusa Funny thing is, this is really Project 2025's baby. It just *also* serves Putin's goal.

@T2R @newsguyusa At this stage nothing less than Nuremberg trials will do.
