My guess for the date of Greenland attack; July 20th (or few days later, depending on the weather). One day after world cup final.

Russia did the same thing with the olympics.

Not expecting guns fired. But all US bases in Europe would be done, as would space cooperation, trade deals, and those kind of things.

If FIFA had a scrap of common decency…

Sorry, I had to pause there because I made myself laugh!

FIFA should just arrange for all the games to be played in Canada and Mexico: except for one in Puerto Rico! They could then offer the final to be played in a US city of Trump’s choice: the price would be one Nobel Peace Prize medal!
