Dear Ambassador:

President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

    The american people, no. But american military is drilled into subservience, it’s basically brain washing. They will absolutely commit any attack the top general commands, which, in america, is the president, so trump himself.

    Like, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that all of them are goign to be fine with it, some might question it. But refusing to follow an order carries severe consequences. I checked out the “laws” for that (https://govfacts.org/government/federal/agencies/defense/understanding-the-uniform-code-of-military-justice-ucmj/) and from what I can understand by this massive wall of text: It’s not unlikely that, by refusing a command to attack, you’ll probably get court-martialed and then discharged from the army and lose all pay and benefits - and that means your life is essentially over in a land like murica where social security doesn’t exist.

    Most probably know that so they will rather follow the order than have their life ruined.

      And they are Americans. If someone is ok with killing others and making the lives of millions of people awful, for a salary it sounds quite selfish.
