Europe doesnāt really need bombs or troops re Greenland. It holds enough US bonds (3.1 trillion) that, if they were dumped, would dramatially harm the US economy. US government debt is already extremely high ($38.5 trillion and climbing) servicing it depends on stable markets.
That said, the knock-on would be severe and would almost certainly trigger a wider global downer, ā¦ But itās not boots on the ground colder than a penguins ding-a-ling whilst being shot at kind of downer.

Youāre right, theoretically thereās plenty of ways to stop this that donāt involve military escalation, but itās Trump - heās a presenile moron who is utterly desperate to stop any further discussion of his blatant paedophilia - at least until he and his Congress of Fiddlers have normalised raping children. So we need to be prepared to make sacrificesā¦

What a fcking embarrassment for the Nobel Prize Committee. Sheās was a dubious winner at best. If they had any balls they would rescind it.

Not at all.
More of an embarrassment for Trump, not getting the original award but being offered it as some sort of arse licking gesture.
The Nobel Committee have made it clear
āOnce a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others,ā the committee said in a statement last week. āThe decision is final and stands for all time.ā
I suspect that they (NPPC) will also be so pissed off by this that the chances of the orange balloon ever winning it have been severely diminished.

I disagree, by awarding it to her in the first place they tarnished the award.
The fact that the person they chose to award it to has now passed it onto Trump, currently threatening multiple countries with force, further highlights they made a very bad choice in selecting her as a recipient in the first place.

No argument with that. But passing the medal on means absolutely nothing - and Trump will know that. Even accepting it would be embarrassing for Trump (if he has the ability to experience that emotion)
I could have bought Alan Ballās World Cup winners medal for Ā£200,000 in December 2022 but it wouldnāt mean that Iāve won the World Cup.

FFS, the FIFA Peace Prize is the equivalent of driving around in one of these

Iām well aware the Nobel peace prize isnāt a V5 document. But passing on the medal to the orange, dementia ridden, war mongering crackpot less than four months after receiving it is still very symbolic. It shows the selection committee up in a very bad light.

Mr Nobel managed to tarnish the award all by himself. The hipocrasy of it is quite astounding.

I donāt think we need to go down the entire history of the award, why and by whom it was created. Its beginnings have long been forgotten about by the general populace and itās a world renowned award for peace, probably the only one, that 90% of the western world would recognise.
And yes they have made many questionable choices in the past, but this is up there with the worst of them.

We differ here.
While that would be a pleasing outcome, I think we all recognise that the Pandoraās box of neofascist populism is now W-I-D-E open and spewing-out an unceasing stream of sexually-defective sociopathic egomaniacs whose mummies and daddies didnāt love them, who were bullied in school, and who couldnāt get laid unless they paid for it - all gagging for a chance to be This Seasonās Dictator of the Worldās Dumbest Superpowerā¦
