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.

France never joined NATo. I think they think they won WW II by themselves.
LOL!
“ 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.”
And the Europeans care about Muslim takeover as evidenced by…?
Not the Bee.
There will be new Muslim kingdoms established across Europe the next 20-50 years.
Londonistan, Islamic Caliphate of Paris, etc.
Native born Europeans in France and Germany will have to build walls around the newly established Muslim city-states.
Londonistan is a different story. Muslims may conquer the whole country.
To get an idea, read the history of The Reconquista in Spain, it took them 700 years to kick the Moors out.
Time to invoke the Monroe Doctrine.
Put a 100% tariff on cheese and Legos, Denmark will surrender Greenland without a shot being fired.
“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.”
Exactly!
You are absolutely right.
This whole “US taking Greenland” stunt is in reality a theatrical NATO powerplay to quickly build up Green-lands defenses before a highly probable Russian invasion of that area. Trump is virtue signaling against Russia - nothing else.
“Trump stated in his Truth Social account that “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity”.
Trump knows perfectly well that the only threat to America’s security is the IRAN - Russia - North Korea - China Alliance. It’s evidently NOT Denmark/Greenland which is a close ally of America and a part of NATO.
Trump’s public statement of his willingness to “take Greenland” is a subliminal message that he wants NATO countries Greenland to “up the ante” and invest MUCH more for Greenlands defence against Russia.
Russia is the only threat America has to deal with in that Region. Russia is right now taking over many areas in the Arctic. It’s becoming a real threat for America.
The reality is this. Denmark, France are in motion to help America defend Greenland against Russia’s ongoing massive expansion in the Arctic.
Phony crisis illustrating NATO’s hostility to the USA — Trump never threatened to seize Greenland by force.
Gotta say, however, that Trump could have avoided this by presenting his proposal in an organized and detailed way with the assistance of loyal and competent staff.
F NATO. We should be done with these idiots. Let them handle s^^t on their own.
Then you haven’t looked at the Louisiana Purchase or the purchase of Texas et al beyond what you learned in fourth grade.
But it’s obvious this was a troll.
Have the French troops done a preemptive surrender as yet???
If Greenlanders want security they need a treaty with the USA. EU nations are not trustworthy. Lots of promises no followthrough.
Foreign legion has cold weather gear?
“ while France said it offered its army to Greenland”
Excellent. They can surrender to us.
L
How long ago was that, oh exalted one? Did you even take in the possibility of me speaking of contemporary times?
Overthrow of Hawaii
Puerto Rico
Guam
With a few exceptions, the only expansion of the USA not by force or threat of force was Alaska.
Those stupid European leaders... it will ignite Greenlanders’ call for independence sooner. Many of them prefer to have US passport than Danish passport.
Well, Europe acting all care-less about Ukraine and Russia all of a sudden super excited about a big chunk of ice.
