'More for than against': Germany ready to discuss stationing its troops in Greenland to protect the island from the US

Following France, Germany has also expressed a desire to protect Greenland from Trump's claims, although so far only at the level of discussing the possible deployment of Bundeswehr soldiers on the island. This is reported by the German press.

The Germans are ready to discuss the deployment of their troops in Greenland amid Trump's statements about the need to annex the island to the United States. At the moment, there is no final decision on this issue, but Berlin is more "for" than "against", but with one clarification: NATO forces, not individual countries, should be deployed in Greenland. This should prevent Trump from "taking over the island".



If the German Armed Forces have the necessary technical capabilities, they should participate. However, other European partners should also be involved, if only to make it clear to the US that it does not have an exclusive sovereign right there.

— said Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, Chair of the Subcommittee on Security and Defence of the European Parliament.

However, not everything is as rosy as they think in Germany. The thing is that NATO leadership, represented by Secretary General Mark Rutte and his assistants, feeds from the hand of the American administration, so they will not go against Trump. So using the alliance against the main sponsor will not work, they will have to make do with their own forces. Here, Germany can be helped by France, which previously declared its readiness to deploy its troops in Greenland to protect the island from Trump. So the idea of ​​creating some kind of coalition against the United States is literally in the air.

On the other hand, many analysts do not believe in the possibility of Europe acting against the US. Despite all the statements being made, Brussels will ultimately lie down under Washington again, it is more accustomed to it.

      The Germans became bolder. laughing I don't believe that they will fight with the Americans for the Eskimos. More populist chatter. The French will certainly not get involved.

        Nexcom, I also think that they will deflate as soon as the Master pulls the leash. There is not a single strong economy or strong political forces in the U.S., everything is under the boot of Washington.

          That's why they became bold, because they have their own master (the notorious deep state, which is international) with whom Trump is now fighting. So it would really be funny if the Europeans started deploying NATO forces in Greenland.
          And Trump waves his saber more and more assertively, apparently it’s also symbolic, and not just to cut the cake at the inauguration.

    Chiacchiere nel vuoto.Ma veramente qualcuno può pensare che un paese della Nato si metta contro gli Stati Uniti che è il partner principale di questa coalizione? Chi ha detto in Germania questa sciocchezza ha dimenticato di tutte le basi americane che sono presenti sul territorio tedesco?Non vale la pena neanche parlare di queste dichiarazioni.

    I wonder what they smoke in the Bundestag?
    Germany is occupied by the USA, there are bases of the occupiers all over the country, the top staff of the German army is appointed from the Pentagon, the political leadership obeys and acts on the instructions of the CIA, and at the same time they are spreading nonsense to the whole world about how they are going to protect someone from the USA. fool
    First of all, we need to gain independence from the USA ourselves, I think.

      Another Spartacus rebellion, the slaves rebelled against their master, but rather they just want to show the European people how cool they are, especially Scholz and Baba Under Leyen.

    Well done, in their opinion it turns out that the USA is no longer NATO.
    Trump will roar and all the mongrels will hide under the fence.

    And then what? Well, they'll hang around on the island... Or are the Germans and the frogs really going to fight the Merikatos? laughing Then first drive them out of the bases located in your area...
    Just idle chatter.

    The Germans are not risking anything. The Greenlanders will hold a referendum paid for by Trump and exchange their Danish citizenship for American citizenship. After that, the Germans will throw up their hands and say: nothing can be done - the democratic procedure has been carried out. And the Danes will not even think of inviting anyone.

    It's funny to read. Germany will send troops to Greenland to protect it from the US. First, they should withdraw US troops from Germany itself. And France - Macron crowed like a rooster that he would protect Denmark. All of America is shaking with fear and apologizing profusely. Of course! It's not just anyone, but Macron himself - the defender of all the offended. He protected Armenia, he saved Greece from Turkey. A real Zorro, no less. How can America survive this? Especially considering that there are already American military bases on that Greenland.
    P.S. Generally speaking, there is nothing good for Russia in the fact that Trump wants to get his hands on Greenland.

    After the latest news from the Central Military District, the Germans and French realized that their armies would be better able to cope with their task in Greenland.

    NATO forces, not individual countries, should be deployed in Greenland

    NATO troops, including the US, will defend Greenland from the US.
    I think that for the final surrealism, the Americans, when capturing Greenland, should voluntarily-compulsorily sign up their NATO allies. Then the Americans, with the support of NATO, will clash with NATO, with the support of the Americans.
