…it is painful to see my country, the Netherlands, holding expensive exercises, with heavy combat machinery, with drones and real bombs, with unmanned strategic aircraft (almost as big as the Mirage, Eurofighter or F-35), it is painful to see the Netherlands printing 20 million booklets with instructions for the population to prepare for the “worst case scenario”, because the danger from the “East” is never known, it is painful to see the Secretary of the NATO alliance avoiding the simplest questions regarding Trump’s aspiration for Greenland, it is painful that Europe and NATO had to increase their spending by 5% (according to Trump’s dictates, according to the dictates of the “American military industry”, a terribly large industry, they have nowhere to sell the weapons they produce, they sell a few hundred billion to Saudi Arabia, a few hundred billion to the Gulf states…and Europe must buy the rest)… etc. etc.
…in my opinion, as a revenge and as a logical political ‘counterpoint’ to the Trump’s idea regarding Greenland, Europe now should rightfully annex Britain : ) the British supposedly “ran away” with Brexit, with tricks and manipulations, but they have not “gone far away”, they are still where they were, Britain was, is and should be Europe’s, while by the way Greenland has never been America’s – Taiwan is also China’s, the Chinese say, the seas, the surrounding waters are ours and when we hold massive military exercises, Taiwan is always surrounded, if you ask the Russians or Putin, Ukraine definitely but also the other Baltic states with the entire Balkans (maybe) should be Russia’s, if we ask the President Trump, Greenland and the surrounding waters are full of Russian and Chinese ships so America needs Greenland, it is a strategic issue and negotiations for the sale and purchase should begin, just like they once bought the vast Louisiana from France, a few cents per km2, and Trump doesn’t even hide his ambition to somehow completely deceive Canada…
…that is, if America is right about Greenland (tomorrow they will annex Canada with 40 million people, very easily, with the pretext that Canada is strategic to control all the edges of Alaska), if Russia is right about Ukraine, etc… so as an expert on world politics I propose that Europe should annex Britain… as soon as possible, period, the’re no compromises on this point : )
…as is known, “American exceptionalism” as a doctrinal idea… (e.g. according to Professor Jeffrey Sachs, and according to many others) is losing its “color”, American exceptionalism is the belief that the USA as a political entity was and still is something unique, morally superior compared to other nations, often because of the fundamental principles of democracy and freedom, the idea of exceptionalism suggests that America has a special role to play in global affairs – America has acted and would still act as a global policeman, but with the rise of China, India, in the last 1-2 decades, with the development of economic globalization, things are obviously different now…
…and as the world now clearly sees, it was universally clear, it came to light with Trump’s victory, with “Trumpism” American politics serves Republican conservatism (something traditional) and the embrace of the multi-polar doctrine is on stage, according to experts the world is now multi-polar, there is no longer 1 “American policeman” patrolling the entire globe and dictating the “conditions of democracy”, now according to the “25” doctrine and “Trumpism” the world is something like multipolarity and Trump’s goal was a “domestic” orientation, the achievement of MAGA (Make America Great Again)…
…the world has 3-4 major political factors, or 4-5 of them, these must be balanced among themselves, they must balance their interests among themselves at the expense of the entire rest of the global part (i.e. really bad for the 190 small countries) – these big ones as is known the USA, China, India, EU, Russian Federation will share the political-economic cake with all the macro-political crumbs – we saw what President Trump said in Davos, he bluntly told Europe “I love you but you are alienated, what were you and where are you going, God forbid, don’t ask, bad, it’s almost hard to recognize that you were who you were yesterday…”

…as a conclusive, closing conclusion, let’s mention once again the fact that Europe should annex Britain as soon as possible, because it is a strategic issue, it is pure foresight, it is kinda a la Trumpistic wisdom-vision, imagine Iceland attacks, what should Europe do, it will be caught by surprise, how to defend itself with Britain in the middle of the “sight”, you can’t even see the missiles coming, and if you think that Iceland with its ridiculous smallness, a few thousand inhabitants does not attack anyone… well, we all would be terribly wrong, we should not forget nor underestimate the fact that Icelanders are Vikings, even in times of Ragnar Lothbrok his 2-3 ships did not have the capacity for some 100 warriors, or even less, but 100 Vikings were like 100 lions, they terrified the Britain, Lothbrok with his girlfriend, with the brave Lagertha were unstoppable, they caused serious problems for the kings of that time, they had humiliated Northumbria, even the vast majority of Scotland and even Ireland, they had plundered and ravaged the entire island, they had ruled London… and even Paris itself (supposedly far from London, quite impossible… cause the endless wasteland of Europe, but history does not lie), the Icelanders may be few in number but should not be underestimated, they are all descendants of Lothbrok, there is no need to mention Thor, nor Loki, nor the Valkyries… there is no need to speculate that far, Thor with that charming Hollywood hammer now pretends to be American more than Norse Thor, we are not saying that Iceland with those volcanoes and eruptions is something like the “central heating” of Valhalla… but no one can guarantee that the underground of Iceland isn’t filled with American ballistic missiles, simply strategic issues, total silence, to protect secrets, silent “covenant” of American supremacy, supposedly “independent” Iceland but in fact 100% American base, etc. etc. there are 1001 reasons for Europe to think seriously and annex Britain, in order to clear its own strategic defense line…
