      All that’s going to happen is the US spending the same or more on defence while their relative strength vs everything else will diminish.

      The Danes win this war very easily.

      They restrict the sale of Ozempic and Wegovy to the US, and half the country just dies of obesity related complications. It’ll be a genocide.

      Nah, they got rid of their subs and 2bn aren’t going to fix that. The rest of Europe has more than enough stealth subs to take out the whole US carrier fleet, though, that is, more than the US will be willing to commit to the theatre.
