This is not a change of heart. GOP is scared, not because they found their moral compass but because of bad publicity having negative effects for the midterms. This will continue, just with some extra makeup put on.

Totally agree. My concern is the ability of some the most important politicians in Europe to lead as they up to now have not really shown much talent. Administration, ok, but leading hasn’t been their forte till now. Fingers crossed. And I add the toes for good measure 😉

Canada is. I haven’t seen any serious reaction from Europe. Deeply ashamed of our European political personnel. I still hope they join Canada’s invitation.

And I am sorry to say, that he is right. I’m deeply disappointed of and ashamed for our spineless European leaders (with a few exceptions). They are not leading, they are panicked administrators looking for the book for the right process for this. A bit like the Democrats.

Er sagte, er tue es nicht, weil er es nicht müsste bei gleichzeitigem Beharren auf Grönland. Das ist etwas ganz anderes als eine Verzichtserklärung. Er erwartet ein Einknicken der Europäer bevor es soweit kommt. Übrigens ist das, was er tut auch Gewalt. Dafür müssen nicht erst Kugeln fliegen.

Und dann höre ich von politischen Journalisten: immerhin hat er die NATO nicht infrage gestellt. Nee. Muss er auch nicht. Was für in irrelevant ist, muss er nicht infrage stellen. „Dänemark kann Grönland nicht verteidigen“ heißt: es gibt kein Bündnis. „Ich verteidige nicht, was nicht mir gehört.“

Aren’t there a lot of Russians living on Cony Island and what about Chinatown I hear so much about? Clearly the USA are not capable of defending New York.

Will this support ever materialise in more than words? When will the EU oppose the aggressor Donald Trump with concrete measures?

@washingtonpost.com , by calling the foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark “stakeholders” you subscribe to the imperialist narrative of the Chief Stakeholder of the United States and his Minion Stakeholders. Shame on you and your poor editorial choice.

A Greenlandic minister is not “a stakeholder” but a representative of the people of Greenland. The U.S. American stakeholders should know that.

Which is good. However, we’re talking about a regime that “does not believe in laws or rules or procedures”. Let’s hope this vote does change anything, it is not a guarantee.
