      Ukraine has to walk on a thin line not to anger Trumpie cheetos more. I understand the speech and their a truth in that. Europe need to be even bolder, more affirmative versus the Usa.

      This is only symbolic and while it will not do much to the US or Russia’s respective administrations (since they have no shame, shaming them isn’t productive), it should embolden and unite the rest of Europe.

      He means that in a negative way, by the way. He is criticising Europe’s timidness. On the one hand, I think he is being unnecessarily harsh in this case (I think people underestimate the difficulty of spontaneously moving troops into arctic conditions that have not been trained to do so) but I share his frustration with Europe’s lack of decisiveness overall, though I think it is slowly coming around. Hopefully this statement helps push Europe to act more assertively.

      This puts the Redditor in an awkward position. How will the Redditor respond?

      I mean, he’s right. Europe is taking it way too lightly. As a Canadian I’m also including my country, we’ve let our north completely unwatched, our defense spendings are ridiculously low. Including Trump, he’s wrong about almost everything but about this he’s also right to criticize us.

      I’m getting the slight impression that several comments did not read beyond the headline and think Ukraine is sending 40 troops to Greenland.

      Good on Zelenskyy, and I absolutely agree. EU is being pathetic, we’re better when we actually work together.

    15. Numerous-Bowler-8677 on

      Europe (I would have said NATO but Trump/US is unreliable) should send troops to help protect the western border in a show of support to Ukraine. This would allow all the Ukraine man power to be focused in the east against Putin.

      Only 40? Even if it’s symbolic this isn’t good he should’ve sent atleast 100.

      When this kicked off, most of reddit was saying we can’t get involved, and we can’t set up the no-fly zone he asked for because it’ll escalate the conflict and Putin has nukes.

      I got so many downvotes and angry responses on here for suggesting we get involved early and nip this in the bud.

      What changed?

    19. -S-P-E-C-T-R-E- on

      Well, Denmark is deploying a lot more than that now. But yeah NATOs focus should be on helping Ukraine, not this stupid nonsense.

      >Today, Europe relies only on the belief that if danger comes, NATO will act. But no one has really seen the alliance in action. If Putin decides to take Lithuania or strike Poland, who will respond?“ the president asked.

      We do exercises all the time for this stuff, and nato has been very active in a lot of forms. I get he’s got a specific worry, but this is just incorrect and acts like nato only exists on paper.

      Europe: „Well Ukraine isn’t in EU or NATO blah blah blah“

      Russia: Starts invading EU and NATO

    22. mydogsnameispoop on

      He’s not wrong, Europe isn’t acting as a union, many are barely taking any form of action at all.

    24. Durahl on

      But why? No one in their right mind would blame him for not sending Troops to protect against a ***POTENTIAL*** war when his country is ***ACTIVELY*** fighting one. ( unless he’s just sending them there as a form of vacation since nothing’s actually happening over there )

    25. DaySecure7642 on

      Worse than not sending any at all. Just 40 soldiers basically were actually showing weakness in strength and wills to fight than solidarity. Maybe the US has a point, the EU really can’t even defend itself.

    27. cptmcsexy on

      Hes spot on Iran. Not like protests like this have happened before they all end in the same way, back to how it was the people cant win on their own.

      You cant fight the regime without outsider help. Everyone wants to talk big with fancy speeches but no ones gonna do anything and just wait for the US to solve it while simultaneously hating on the US.

    28. heavy-minium on

      I thought the same he did. It might have been better to not send anybody at all.

    29. Big_Bobs_Big_Minis on

      “Zelenskyy criticised Europe for relying on NATO protection under the United States, despite NATO never having used its military power in practice.”

      US has used article 5 and NATO responded?

      That being said, this sentiment is what Carney was talking about with middle powers.

    30. MiawHansen on

      I would love to be under Ukrainian security as a Dane.
      No bullshit, and they defend what they want to protect.
      My biggest respect!

      So … its a gair enough point …

      But deploying MORE troops to Greenland takes them away from being able to defend against Russia directly. Which is what they want.

      So … you send a small force to Greenland as a matter of optics, knowing that most likely Trump is full of hot air (which, quel suprise, he was – and Z should know that better than most, frankly), or you fall into the trap and divide your forces.

      Personally I think they made the right choice. But neither options was particularly good.

      And above all of that is: I CAN’T BELIEVE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT DEFENDING GREENALND AGAINST AN AMERICAN INVASION?!?!?!

      WHAT THE ACTUAL FU€|{?!?!?!?
