The countries of NATO made a deal with the USA, that we would not pursue nuclear weapons if they defended us with theirs.
If the US invades Greenland with force, NATO disappears, and this deal with it. At that point there's no legal obligation to withhold development by any NATO nation.

One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

The War on Drugs campaign was started by U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1971.
Ravi Parmar is the Minister of "Forestry" in BC which has created so much harm in BC that towns like Port Alberni is rife with drugs and crime.
Yeah, he would he align himself with Nixon.

To prove that Vancouver is the shit, they have a Poo and Pee mascot. (Part of the green plan in Vancouver includes converting sewage to energy, at a facility built the Burrard Bridge.)
Poo and Pee celebrated the holidays early this year with gifts wrapped in reusable bags! 🎁Disposable wrap can create a lot of unnecessary waste — here are some common alternatives:
• Tea towels
• Table cloths
• Old maps
• Old magazines
