Greenland, if requested.

Brussels is also ready for action.

Yeah, until it happens: and then the Yanks won't let them land.

America wants a presence in Europe but only where they can make loo-loo

god Putin must be rubbing his hands - "look mate I did narfin!

Is there a link this news item?

The staggering headline is;

'France mulls sending EU troops to Greenland'

France also mulls giving all its citizens 100 euros each on their birthdays before thinking , merde! peut-être pas  - (oh *** perhaps better not) 

It's good that Europe is strengthening its defenses against hostile invaders. It's what Mr Trump has been saying they should do.

A bit like a repeat (by proxy) of Thatcher's action on the Falklands. I understand that the Greenlanders prefer current status, just like the Falkland Islanders do.

 

I'm sure Greenland will be reassured to have such famously tough troops helping to defend their homeland

Hear hear !

bonjour Groenland !

some of the lower class regiments are pretty damn like animals and take pride in it

[FoMin] Barrot said in an interview with France's Sud Radio that France had “started discussing [troop deployment] with Denmark,” but that it was not “Denmark’s wish” to proceed with the idea.

Poland 1939 springs to mind - and we know how that turned out !    Is dictator Don the new Adolf ? Both despots, both ex-cons, both favour rabble-rousing rallies.  I wonder if Don has only got one ........

So Trump wants to buy Greenland. Why - it's all his warped semse of proaganda. If he is successful and after climate change removes the last bit of snow from the terrain, he can proclaim that he achieved what no one else in history could. He made Greenland, green again.

'Don’t buy Greenland

‘The art of the deal’ is President Trump’s much-vaunted modus operandi as well as the title of his 1987 bestseller. But how smart would he be to make an offer for Greenland to the Danish government? Leaving aside issues of military sites and future unfrozen shipping routes, would the currently still-frozen north Atlantic island be worth a rich price for its mineral deposits alone?

I consulted an intrepid investor who spent six years there prospecting for tantalum, a ‘transition metal’ used in capacitors for mobile phones. His answer was not encouraging. There’s no disputing the potential to find everything from gold and uranium to rare earth elements such as neodymium and dysprosium, in demand for advanced electronics. But the operating difficulties are truly formidable.

‘Half the year it’s almost impossible to work, when Greenland’s dark and freezing winter makes helicopter flying impossible. And most of the resources are under thousands of feet of ice, huge distances from any port. Outcrops along the coast or on dry mountain tops near the sea provide the best hope, but development costs are so high that only the richest deposits stand a chance of being put into production.’ '

Martin Vander Weyer - The Spectator.

"Poland 1939 springs to mind - and we know how that turned out !    Is dictator Don the new Adolf ? Both despots, both ex-cons, both favour rabble-rousing rallies."

Der Fuhrer didn't have to photo shop or herd attendees into shot to give the impression of a throng.

Mr Trump is a wannabe dictator who may yet bloom but Father Time may thwart him, fingers crossed.

Will the French also be taking along their tanks,you know the ones with one forward gear and four reverse gears ?

...they'll have to build a new white flag factory first.

More TDS.

Go Donald!
