  1. Okay, ladies and gents. Prepare your favorite pens. It’s time to write some stern letters!

  2. Fuck trump. At least this will unite EU even more than ever.

  3. This will encourage Europeans to create a European army, good news! :thrilled:

  5. I see three options

    Option 1. Don’t be a dick
    UN 2.4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.

    Option 2. It will be a mess
    TEU 4.2 It shall respect their essential State functions, including ensuring the territorial integrity of the State, maintaining law and order and safeguarding national security.

    Option 3. It will be insane
    Declare Greenland a quantum particle and then point to the Copenhagen interpretation.

  6. If this is anything like the time France invoked Article 42, then Greenland is fucked.

  7. “Tensions escalated after Trump refused to rule out economic or military measures to secure Greenland, claiming it was crucial for “the protection of the free world.””

    This pissed me off. The US isn’t the entire world, not to mention you’re the one threatening the freedom of others you utter buffoon!

    (Hearing the military part the first few times, the end of this quote flew over my head – obviously that is a gazillion times worse)

  8. Honest question… How much of a shit does the EU actually give about Greenland? Why would Greenland be the be the hill that the EU would die on when it comes to EU/US relations?

  10. You’d have to be blind to even the most basic European history to not side with Denmark here. A threat to anyone’s territory on the continent is a threat to everyone’s. Expansionism is like a political drug and it never stops after a victory.

    The good news is the American army is famously bad at one very specific thing. Occupying rugged terrain for long periods of time.

  11. I don’t understand why this is taken seriously. I doubt Americans would embrace the idea of them invading Europe, especially Scandinavia. Trump escalating the issue at military level is unrealistic and counterproductive; it won’t happen.

    The issue is merely a propaganda towards EU citizens: not all of us agree to a single EU army; and this is an excuse to make us swallow the pill and accept that army.

  12. I’m not posting this to stir the pot so to speak, but Megyn Kelly recently did an interview with Marco Rubio who is now the US Secretary of State and the topic of Greenland came up. Contrary to some people’s beliefs, the US isn’t in the process of drawing up invasion plans but it does seem like the administration is a bit serious about the topic. The link below is to an excerpt someone made containing just the Greenland portion of the interview.
