Greenland does not want an “Anschluss” with the USA. It wants to remain part of DK, NATO & the EU. Moreover, neither under Trump 1 nor Trump 2 has the USA taken actions that indicate it feared Russian/Chinese military activity off Greenland’s coast. Politics today is based on lies rather than facts

We need a long-term strategy to help them become strong, Jamie Dimon said. “A weak Europe is bad for us.” Unlike Trump, who seeks the EU’s collapse, the EU should heed JD's well-intentioned advice. Europe needs strong political leadership — but without “a moustache”
