In a militaristic sense, yeah. We do send a trillion dollars on the army as deplorable and unnecessary that is, so the threat of invasion if you don’t comply is there.
However, why would Trump threaten to invade Canada and Greenland if the EU, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand has no autonomy of its own? They certainly wouldn’t be turning to China in response to all the tariffs and invasion threats if that was the case.

Personal benefit. Greenland and Denmark are not sovereign they are suzerainties. Greenland as very limited autonomy from the US(they even got away with dropping a nuke on them with no repercussions)
Despite this Trump could still personally benefit finically and otherwise from a more direct form of control and tbh knowing his ego I wouldn’t be surprised if just want to paint Greenland in US colours on the world map so that part of his ‘legacy’ is increasing the size of the US
Not even mentioning the Libyan war 15 years ago, where many western countries bombed libya and turned it into an open air slave market . Heckin wholesum socdem norway alone dropped 588 bombs on Libya
As always, the west will do its best to destroy any country that dares to be sovereign. Iran is bravely expelling the imperialists from West Asia and proving that the Empire has truly decayed in terms of hard power.
A year and two ago I thought west Asia wouldn’t have a breakthrough in decades, I’m happy Iran proved me wrong. The fact in merely a matter of weeks the chance of the US indefinitly withdrawing from west Asia is now a very real possibility, and Israeli society is collapsing from within is something I thought I’d only ever get to see in at least 3 decades. A flash of hope in a sea of despair
We will both live to see imperialism die and that makes me very happy
Extremely happy! The death and devastation to innocents in Iran are of course extreme tragedies, but the upside is of course as you describe, a real chance for change. The US Empire has been declining for decades, and the sheer difference in how the war on Iran is going vs. the destruction of Iraq and Libya both serve to drive that point home. Iran is not Libya nor is it Iraq, and the US Empire of today is not the US Empire of 3 decades ago. Quantity turns to quality, weeks into decades, of course.
The damned beast is weak, and Iran is showing the world that it isn’t some invincible force outside of the rest of society, but deeply enmeshed within it.
They just have PMC’s in sub Saharan African countries to help ensure their investments in said countries and bring in their own labor as well not increasing local wealth except for the local warlords.
The US: drops 46 bombs a day! China: hasn’t been in a war for 46 years!
Westerners: these two states are equally bad for humanity(or one is significantly more evil, can you guess which one they think that is?)
Clearly not enough bombs. Lol
You’re correct. America is more evil than China right now. Wasn’t trying to say otherwise, but fortunately America isn’t the entire west…yet
Western countries are vassals of the US
