    All other countries should go ahead an impose severe sanctions on the US now if Trump doesn’t reverse sanctioning our (now former) allies.

      True, but also what he wants. It gives him the excuse to use the military, or refuse to use it to defend an ally. He’s looking to break NATO and the EU. Leaving nothing to stop Russia, and most likely to help attack directly. Greenland is a forward staging area for the US to attack or even just threaten NATO countries. Even if he doesn’t get it, the fight creates opportunity to draw resources away from Ukraine, helping Russia. Also creating the situation where the US is isolated with aggressors all around, making the case for martial law and canceling elections. That’s the goal, shut down democracy, and lock in authoritarian rule.

        If Trump uses the US military to attack an ally, it would first off cause NATO to respond. Dead US soldiers is never a good thing, not even for Trump, and that very much will happen.

        If Trump invades Mexico, US soldiers will be hung from bridges, that is a guarantee. Let’s see how well trump handles that.

        I get that trump is out for chaos, but there are limits even to him

          He’ll put our troops in harms way, let them get blown up, then scream for vengeance for the atrocity he staged. It got us into WW2, it’ll get us into WW3.
