Why This Matters
NATO Alliance Breakdown:
Trump's threats against NATO ally Denmark could trigger Article 5 mutual defense obligations, potentially drafting your family members into a war against America's oldest allies
Constitutional Overreach:
No constitutional provision authorizes presidents to annex foreign territories without congressional approval, setting precedent for unchecked executive power expansion
Military Spending:
Annexing and defending Greenland would require massive increases in Arctic military infrastructure, increasing your tax burden significantly
International Law Violation:
Territorial annexation violates international law that protects American territories from foreign seizure - undermining legal protections for U.S. states and territories
Democratic Backsliding:
43% of French citizens would support using military force against U.S. annexation, showing how Trump's territorial threats damage America's reputation among democratic allies
