Europe needs to take him serious. He sees that it works out just fine for Netanjahu and Putin, nobody does anything against them. Greenland is a nice and easy first target.
Absolutely right. These tiny “buy european”-protest are great, but won’t change anything. We’re too few. The EU needs to step up against these imperialist yokels. Should he get Greenland by force, nothing would happen. He could just do it and he knows.
As an American I really hope the EU takes this seriously. I was screaming about shit like this since Jan 6th and nothing was done. Take these people seriously. The US will invade Greenland and it will be to distract from Putin doing something even worse in Ukraine. They are betting the EU can not fight a war on two fronts. Prove them wrong.
WW3 here we come.
Yup it would trigger article 5
Well, if USA and Europe were at war, with article 5, they could arrange it so that Europe fought Europe and USA fought USA, singe they are allies and must help. It would save a lot of transatlantic logistics and make things much easier.
Makes it a lot easier that way
It’s not a distraction, it is the cornerstone for US control in the North Atlantic. It backstops the US ability to defend the eastern seaboard and be able to strike Europe.
The US already has military bases and the ability to develop resources in the area. Denmark has been more than willing to cooperate.
The only reason you spend the political capital to annex Greenland is if you foresee a future where Denmark will not cooperate and may see the US as a strategic threat.
That’s all you need to figure out where all of this is leading.
It’s also about control of the Northwest Passage IMO; that’s why he’s interested in Canada and Greenland.
USA population: 346m. EU population: 449m, i.e. about 29% higher.

What percentage over the USA domestic market would we need to be to be not “too few”?
Numbers are great, but you forgot that the vast majority just don’t care or even worse.
Imperialist union got imperialized by its friend what irony
I remain convinced this is the beginning of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia.
Frensh nukes in greenland maybe.
French SSBNs off the coast of Mar a lago and DC and a clear statement that Danish and Canadian land is now covered by French Nukes.
