    If you’d had it on your bingo card at the start of the decade that’d have been a shocker. But after Trump openly suggested the possibility early last year, it’s hardly a huge surprise if someone predicted it this year, even if he did quieten down on that front towards the end of the year.

        I’m not fully convinced they would act. I feel half of them would say “Let’s wait for the facts” while the other half would be trying to make a peace deal and work out a way to deploy troops in Denmark after they’ve given up Greenland.

        I would be glad to be proven wrong however.

          Sadly, I agree.
