German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Wednesday that the principle of inviolability of borders applies to every country, however powerful, and suggested that expansionist comments by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump are meeting with “incomprehension” among European leaders.
Trump on Tuesday said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland...
In a hastily arranged statement to reporters, Scholz said he spoke earlier Wednesday with several European leaders, whom he didn't name, and the president of the European Council.
“The principle of the inviolability of borders applies to every country, regardless of whether it lies to the east of us or the west, and every state must keep to it, regardless of whether it is a small country or a very powerful state," Scholz said.
“It is a fundamental principle of international law and a key part of what we call Western values,” he added.

German leaders have a track record when it comes to ‘respecting borders’ as I recall.
Except the US border, right Meatloaf?
Israel too?
Troll level: Grandmaster
Germany quit respecting its own border.
“Trump on Tuesday said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland”
That’s not what he said but lets perpetuate the lie
That’s rich coming from Germany.
The Babylon Bee missed another headline!
Germany should be pointing finger at russia.
They all laughed when Trump announced he wanted
Greenland for a US state!
They all laughed, but Greenland thought the plan was great!
The propaganda press will repeat the statement “Trump will not rule out military force to seize control of …. so many times that it will morph into …. Trump will use military force to seize control of….
The propaganda press are evil liars. They know that other media outlets and the Internet will state the complete lie. This is one way the legacy media protects itself from libel lawsuits. It is discouraging and disgusting.
Kudos. Exactly right since idiot Merkel's "wir schaffen es." Islam's widening avenue into Germany was made by not respecting German borders.
And we're racists, if we push back against the "open borders" crowd.
We can just put our military into civilian clothes and send them into Greenland saying they are refugees entitled to food, shelter, medical care, education, and jobs at the expense of Denmark.
The irony is thick.
Wow… that’s rich coming from a group that happily demands that invaders cross borders unimpeded.

We’ll never be getting the Panama Canal back, even if a treaty required or permitted it.
I watched two episodes of “The Crown” last night. Trying to recover the Suez Canal after Nasser stole it didn’t work out well for Britain.
The US Navy can’t even keep the Red Sea safe. The US Navy need be in no rush to get into the South China Sea because the ships sent there might remain there indefinitely.
Ukraine and the Houthis have shown how easily ships can be sunk.
“German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Wednesday that the principle of inviolability of borders applies to every country, however powerful”
I wonder if he would same the same about Clinton DISMEMBERING Serbia?
Answer: NO! Which PROVES that his ‘principles’ are quite ‘flexible’.
