Ironically, Rubio helped create/pass a law in 2024 preventing the President from pulling us out of NATO, just in case Trump tried to pull us out of NATO. And if he ordered the military to go to war against NATO, well there are already Republicans in Congress openly talking about impeachment if he takes us to war against NATO (why it's the line they won't cross, I don't know other than maybe they know Russia wants this). An impeachment is something he's absolutely scared shitless off and he knows those Republicans have talked about it, and there's also a healthy chance many in the military will refuse. There was no declaration of war against Greenland, and it does not fall under any Congressional actions concerning us attacking other countries. Congress has been passing stuff he doesn't like these past few weeks - he's clearly not in control of either chamber anymore, and as others have said, once the primaries shake out, a lot of the Rs will be free to oppose him even more. There's a reason why he's not putting boots on the ground in Venezuela so that Chevron can start building or repairing infrastructure there. Venezuela was over the line in terms of declaring them terrorists and trying to tie them to the 9/11 authorization, but Congress let it lie since all we did was remove Maduro (Panama/Iraq being a flimsy justification) and let Trump steal the oil from some tankers - Trump and Co. didn't even bother to build up an actual invading force to truly conquer/control Venezuela, which was the tipoff that he was not serious about controlling Venezuela proper. (Edit: and that's a part of why the oil companies are not enthusiastic about Venezuela). Trump loves all of this current attention over Greenland, it's a distraction for Minnesota and Epstein and Venezuela. As long as he does nothing significant about Greenland, it's a toy he can use to distract the media/public. If he orders an invasion, shit starts happening that is out of his control (and he's a control freak) - Congress gets involved, and he has already soured on the National Guard carrying out his orders, and given his distrust of the military, he knows that even some high-profile objects/resignations/refusals will damage his image - Whiskey Pete was going after Kelly because they know what Kelly said resonated with service members and they can't let that mindset take hold. On some level, he probably knows that American soldiers dying to invade fucking Greenland is not going to play well with the public, nor will killing civilians in Greenland, and given his obsession with polls, he damned sure knows it doesn't have popular support. So he's going to keep pulling this shit with Greenland probably for months, until he finds a new distraction and then it fades away. It came close to being Iran, and could still be Iran, and at least with Iran he's got a legal standing (and support in the US) to fuck around. If that carrier group on its way to the Persian Gulf doesn't turn back, I will not be surprised if we go after the Iranian leadership - that bullshit with him and Republicans in Congress telling the Iranian people to keep protesting, that help is on the way, could very well have been that carrier group. He is still obsessing over the Noble Pizza Price as well.
