Interesting to hear on @BBCNews at 11 am. that our National broadcaster should be deferring to the 'nobody' that is @RichardTice of Reform Co. for his wise words on why Trump is 'concerned' about Greenland!! What a farce the media in the UK have become?

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin.
“No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.”

As far as I can tell, we don’t give up on criminal law because some people break it. So, why do countries seem to be giving up on international law because the USA, Israel and other are choosing to break it? Isn’t this the exact moment when we need it most?
