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.

Well, we had that alliance in relatively recent history. Ask Poland about it.

It’s time we withdraw from NATO since the Soviet Union no longer exists. We should try to become allies with Russia to pull them away from China.
No serious person believes DJT intends to take Greenland by force. So this is pure theater by once great countries trying to remain relevant. And even if this was he case, neither the french nor the germans could stop it.
China has research outposts/centers in Sweden and Iceland. They are negotiating for science outposts in Greenland and Canada.
Trump is saying in his style of political language (which I call the art of trolling dweebs) laying out big “no effen way” do we want an adversary with even a scientific foothold in Greenland let alone any ship basing (China is building an ice breaker fleet). So the bidding war for Greenland real estate has begun or at least a notification of intent to own or defend and the little minded people of Europe have taken the bait.
What a joke. Please show me where Trump said he wants to acquire Greenland by invading it. And the offer of the French army is like giving a guy a Bowie knife and pushing him into a fight with a guy who's carrying a machine gun while yelling "we're behind you!"
Or a real American boogyman. I've never seen the US threaten conquest before now.
“Remind me again about NATO...”
Last week I was scolded right here for not pretending NATO was sour staunch ally. These people who never paid their NATO dues until Trump called them on it (now he’s calling it in from the U.S. takers from within. That’s another thread)
We have spent the last 80 years in Germany defending them against the Russians
This is how they answer that.
Anyone who is surprised is silly. With a silly life.
In weakening Russia, NATO is setting up the new Ottoman Empire that will rise, with Russia’s decline.

Oh and I would advise anyone who wants to refute this to check on how China wants bases close to us. In Greenland for instance. Dont be naive. And just quit trusting our news media
Can't be. Not enough bio-Labs in Greenland.
Oh now it’s downgraded to just a probe about demotion. Like I’ve said, same old 💩 just a different day. All those who committed treason will never be brought to justice. Democrats keep winning
NATO finally agrees to fortify Greenland after America threatens to take it. Trump is brilliant!
That wouldn't make sense.
Ideally, we should be neutral towards Russia.
Similar to our relationship with India.
India appears to be neutral towards USA and Russia.
They willing to commit troops to Greenland because they know there is no real threat against them. However, in Ukraine...
I wonder if that isn’t the ‘deal’ in the works.
What? Ottoman Empire?
Russia? They can’t even beat Ukraine in 3 years.
Do they address the Chinese empire?
No good deed goes unpunished. Lets see how Germany, France and Denmark can do if they wish to “stand up “ to the United States of America. Time to pull out of NATO—let em sink or swim on their own. We could seize Greenland in a fortnight and The whole nation of Panama as well. What will they do? Go to the UN? Write us a nasty note—support the Democrats? England’s Labor party tried that in the last election. Times they are a changing.
Russia is the only thing standing in the way of the Turks’ goal of dominating the Black Sea, as a prelude to their move on Europe.
And the Turks have what Russia doesn’t, millions of Muslim supporters all across Europe.
Not saying it will happen now, with Erdogan, but he’s certainly setting the table for it.
Exactly. These are idiot Leftists posturing to make people think that Trump is Evil Orange Hitler.
In a nutshell.
Maybe Greenland doesn’t want German and French Invaders
