The top European Union military official, Robert Brieger, said it would make sense to station troops from EU countries in Greenland, according to an interview with Germany’s Welt am Sonntag published on Saturday, as U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed interest in acquiring the Danish territory.
They should first kick out the US Military Base out of Greenland.
Why do you let your unreliable partner/ soon to be potential enemy station troops in your territory ?
Makes no sense, if you need this base badly for security reasons, staff it with EU Armed Forces
@albert180 it’s not so simple. It’s not just the US base out there, it’s the entire US infrastructure in Europe that is at stake. You cannot kick them in some place for being an enemy then do business as usual for the rest of the things. We kinda do have to wigh in the advantages and disadvantages of continuing to do business as usual and if the the cession of Greenland actually happens (in the worst case scenario), we should think what we should get in exchange (because Greenland is quite a high price to pay, not just for Denmark, in order to be an ally).
If we are not to leave the US get Greenland, then we should:
a. See what alternatives we can offer to the US to remain our ally.
b. What alternatives do we got to replace the US as an ally altogether.
@sucius1
What kind of Infrastructure are you referring to? The Military one?
Under Trump being an Ally with the US doesn’t mean much anymore. And if you need to give up your land, are they really an “ally” ?
