…because the last window of opportunity for anticipatory self-defense has been repeatedly ruled by the international community to not extend that far?
Troops massing at borders is precisely the situation that the last window of opportunity is referring to.
I’m starting to think you don’t actually know the statutes involved or their previous legal cases, because if you did you’d know your “argument” is completely worthless.



Yup. You definitely have no idea how treaties or international relations work.
I get that it’s scary that the US is doing it, but this is far from the first time world leaders have blustered about wanting territory that wasn’t theirs.
The international community didn’t support preemptive action even when 50,000 troops were massed on Ukrainian borders, they’re not going to do it when a single US combat asset hasn’t moved towards Greenland yet, and not a single policy decision has been enacted.
Edit- don’t get me wrong, if we start blockading Greenland, massing naval and amphibious forces, or building up ground units on the base in Greenland, then absolutely bomb the shit out of them, but the international community will never support action before that. It’s ludicrous to think they would.
