France is working with partners on a plan over how to respond should the United States act on its threat to take over Greenland, Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Wednesday.

    Yes because whataboutism whilst the world’s strongest military is lapping it’s lips over taking the territory is such a strong argument.

    If Greenland were to gain independence now, they would forfeit their position in both NATO and the EU; and open the doors for an unquestioned American invasion… But sure, I’m the idiot here.

      The NATO is a a cesspool of corruption and the UE is really an association of colonial powers with an executive that nobody elected and more lobbyists than politicians.

      I mean there’s a reason why the irish stayed neutral during the war or why the egyptians hated your guts. The idea of a protectorate was already popular at the time. Protection racket, really. “Stay with us or the big bad <insert current enemy here> will be mean”.

          self determination of inuits people of greenland doesn’t matter? The fact we’re ruled by cronies notoriously in bed with the weapon industry and trying to drag us into a war over their colonies, does it matter to you?

          Funny it’s always the german-adjacents doing the nazism (yanks, brits, germanix,…)

        Ah so give it all up and accept the new US overlords?

            More whataboutism, as expected. The EU and NATO aren’t colonial powers. Whereas the immediate threat of the US clearly is. Giving up the only military defense the country has would be a pro colonial move, given you’d essentially be surrendering the country to the States. But you’re clearly arguing in bad faith, creating this account today just to sow discord rather than provide anything even tangently meaningful to a conversation.
