Germany Declares Solidarity With Greenland Against Trump, France Floats Deploying Troops
Breitbart ^

Posted on 01/29/2025 6:06:42 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

Germany’s Chancellor tacitly compared President Trump’s desire to acquire Greenland from the Kingdom of Denmark to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while France said it offered its army to Greenland.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had meetings in several European capitals on Tuesday in what has been interpreted as an impromptu tour of allies to build an alliance against the United States, as President Donald Trump has expressed the desire to acquire Greenland from the country. Greenland has been under the jurisdiction of Denmark for centuries, first a colony and now a largely autonomous territory.

The Danish prime minister then visited Paris, which seemingly prompted the French foreign minister to reveal that the Emmanuel Macron government had offered to deploy troops to Greenland if necessary. Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot told national radio that the country had “started discussing [troop deployment] with Denmark,” but “at this point, it is not Denmark’s wish” to proceed with that plan.

Has the conflict of U.S. against China and their proxies started yet?

The purpose of NATO was as much to keep the Germans in check, as it was the Russians.

This was actually Trumps purpose. If the nato pussies won’t defend Greenland against China and Russia, then get them to defend against an imaginary American boogeyman.

We should worry?

Yes. Art of the Deal. If you can make them make stupid mistakes, you have won.

France and Germany are just blowing smoke. On the other hand, I heard that the Duchy of Grand Fenwick has already mobilized in support of Greenland.

I am wondering the same thing along the lines you have posted. Make some noise, and get NATO outraged so they take charge of defending Greenland instead of U.S. troops.

NOOOOOO!😱

But once again, this POS Scholz is getting Germany in trouble - on the other hand, that’s what his administration has been doing from day one, just as his forerunners Merkel and Schröder (spit) did.

A blight upon all of them, and I apologize to everyone whom it has offended 😳

Seems that they are more interested in keeping DJT and the US out of Greenland than they are about defending Europe from Russia and China...screw em.

Fenwick, more capable than the Chinese and Russians to infiltrate the United States and win wars against larger nations. Somehow I feel there is a Biden or Milley joke hiding somewhere…hmmm.

Why are Paris’s streets lined with trees?

German soldiers like to march in the shade.

Re: the Breitbart article ---

Highlighting a phrase, "...appears to have decided that implying a similarity...."

News language is become free-floating, while trying to report on free-floating political speech.

What the heck does the above phrase ACTUALLY mean?

Later in the article a more alarming statement: " ...corruption and widespread child sexual abuse by Greenlandic adults.....

Sounds like there's something crucial worth investigating, and leave the political pomposity of Scholz and others to 'go fish.'

Just what I needed, a good belly laugh.
