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.

I've never seen the US threaten conquest before now.

Please do post the quote from Pres Trump about taking Greenland by force.

I think Trump should keep some cards closer to his vest.

The Germans. You mean the country that invaded and occupied Denmark for five years in the last war? I think they should shut their mouth about anything related to conflict for another century or two.

France should think twice about deploying troops to Greenland. Lots of snow up there, their white flags won’t be visible.

Well, the bright side is that Greenlanders will be well armed as the French drop their weapons to run.

I thought, doesn’t the USAF have a base up at Thule ?

Now it is known as Pituffik Space Base.

SO globalist Klaus-bootlicking euroweenies want to go to war with us? If a country said they would send troops to stop us, I would remove their capability to wage any effective action against us. I’m talking using Cruise missiles, B-2’s and B-52’s on ports and airports. Send them back to the pre-WWII days.

Let the Greenlanders decide. If they want to join us then that settles it. Screw the Eurocucks.

We should try to become allies with Russia to pull them away from China.

Exactly what I've said for decades only to be slapped down for such.

Had a German tell how Germany would be nothing if not for the US giving them civilian jobs. Pull our military out and it would collapse by the next day.

Have many German friends. I know they would like to forget what the U.S. has done for them.

Grand theater on everyone’s part. Entertaining, though. I don’t see either France or Germany able to project force and maintain it in Greenland in the absence of U.S. military assistance. If Biden were still in office, we’d offer it.
