EU fehlt bei Erklärung zur Verteidigung Grönlands

“The European Commission appears to have been snubbed in a statement from several member states defending Greenland, following renewed threats by Donald Trump to seize the autonomous Danish island.

The EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, was not included in the statement, which was posted on Tuesday and instead signed by the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, plus the United Kingdom and Greenland itself.

Aside from reaffirming the Nato alliance, the letter also stated that Greenland belongs to its people.

„It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland,“ it said.

„We are not in the habit of commenting on statements that have just been issued,“ a European Commission spokesperson told reporters on Tuesday (6 January), when asked to explain the EU institutional absence from the letter.

She instead echoed past statements on upholding the territorial integrity of Greenland and the need to work with the United States.  

And she refused to comment on statements from Stephen Miller, a top aide to Trump, who told CNN that nobody would challenge a US military-led takeover of Greenland, after it abducted Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro.” – EU Observer

The EU is an economic fiscal and trade organization. While military cooperation exist, mostly nation states organize their own standing armed forces in relative (or NATO) isolation. Expecting them to make statement is like expecting the chamber of commerce to get involved when a loud mouthed drunk rapist is shouting in the street.

Trump wants to buy the whole world while his own home is a total mess . He can’t even take care of his own people, yet he’s out here trying to conquer Greenland. Clean up your own backyard buddy and stop playing boss over other countries while your own is falling apart

There are no factual reasons for Trump’s demand.
There is currently no need to make any fundamental changes to defense or security policy in Greenland. The agreements that the US has already concluded with Greenland and Denmark allow for everything that is necessary to improve security at the moment. There is no need for annexation.

You wanna know the truth? Nobody is willing to or realistically can stand up to the US. Europe should’ve rearmed half a century ago.

What if this is all meant to attract attention to the hypocrisy of all those who brush off land grabs in other parts of the globe and remain afraid to act meaningfully? Maybe this is designed to wake ppl up to the fallacy that this can only happen to others? I don’t necessarily agree with the style and don’t support bringing this type of colonialism back, if sincere but I can’t help but see the permissiveness to allow China and Russia to do this type of thing but all these scoffing nations do is gasp while clutching their pearls. Man up already!

People in here arguing for the wrong reasons and it’s hopeless and terrible.

Bunch of brain-dead, brainwashed spineless desensitized cowards defending terrible actions and bragging how fast the U.S could take this country, that country. WAKE UP. Stop laughing about this, stop defending this.

I’m probably just talking to bots anyways.

The EU/NATO issued a letter today advising Greenland belongs to Greenland and Denmark. As such both are part of NATO. Any interference in their affairs would be a violation of the treaty.

Sounds like the orange Russian asset is providing what he promised Putin.

The EU doesn’t have a fucking military lmfao, what the fuck would they do?

Why defend an „economic zone“?

They should just announce they intend to rename Greenland to Epstein Island. tRump will never mention it again.

Denmark is a NATO member.
