EU Deploys Troops To Greenland

[Concerned American]

If we land troops there

The US has had an AF/Space Force base in Greenland for decades. LOL and its a whole bunch more than 34 guys on a two day excursion. This article and premise is nothing but a distraction.

 

[BackAgain]

Trump said it was gonna happen.

It's not a hostile takeover, IMO. It's just, "We are here"

Troops from Europe deploy to Greenland in rapid 2-day mission as Trump eyes US takeover

European countries are deploying military personnel to Greenland for a quick mission as the Trump administration is pushing to acquire the Danish territory.

I’m curious. It looks like those NATO forces could be there as a deterrent to any prospective movement by US forces. However, maybe NATO forces are actually there for another reason.

I wonder if they are there as a kind of trip-wire against the forces of any OTHER nation making a move to that geostrategic location.

If Russia were to make that move, now, assuming NATO tries to repulse them, then wouldn’t the US ALSO SEND FORCES as required by Arricle 5?

They aren't Trump is.

Trump sent troops to Greenland? Oh they are already there

Trump is the one threatening military force against a NATO power.

You are posting in a manner that leads one to believe that NATO has "forces" that do not include us.

This is more than any stats you got. And we do not know if they are true. We have saved Europe twice. We have helped o protect the continent also for many decades. This helped them to be more socialist as they did not pay as much for other things like defense. We get Greenland this will make it even.

We were able to help because of our friendly neighbors north and south and large bodies of water east and west. BTW, I like my Socialist Medicare and Social Security.

So platoon strength and no one speaks each others language

Look, any serious person of consequence speaks English.

No shirt, shitlock.

Everybody has troops that don't answer directly to NATO or include us.

I assume you were trying to make a funny.

I don't get it

They do. I wouldn’t suggest that they amount to anything of much significance, though.

A war with NATO would consist of the US closing the bank on funding. NATO would cease to exist overnight.

BS. The US is not funding NATO. The requirement is that each country spend a certain percentage of its GDP on their own military, not that each country gives NATO money. What Trump has been basically bitching about is that some of the other countries have not spent as much on their military as we do.

 

[toobfreak]

Trump said it was gonna happen.

Notice that these countries did not deploy until America said they were interested in Greenland. Russia and China have been eyeing Greenland as a strategic location for years and nothing from the EU. Answers once again that while the USA has been sending money, troops and aid to all these countries forever and a day, where would they be if America ever needed their help.

"From today, there will be an expanded military presence in and around Greenland — in close cooperation with NATO allies.

The USA is a NATO allie, the biggest and most important one.

The purpose is to train the ability to operate under the unique Arctic conditions and to strengthen the alliance’s footprint in the Arctic, benefiting both European and transatlantic security," it added.

Note there was no mention of benefiting any American security. Let these countries stroke off; do they really think sending a couple dozen troops there would really deter any country, the USA, Russia or China, from just walking right in there and take the whole place over?

And us making sure we control the western hemisphere will keep the social security and Medicare resources flowing.

Of every dollar the world spends on military, 38 cents comes from a country with friendly neighbors north and south and large oceans east and west. Are we the suckers of the world or just cowards?
On the other hand, 90% of Canadians live within a hundred miles of our border, so they just might be planning an invasion.

Nukes are yesterday's breakfast.

Nobody is gonna use them. No how, no way

They never meet their requirements

They aren't requirements, and it is not their fault we are ruled by such paranoia that we will spend more than everyone else combined on the military.

And threatening Denmark.

 

[Concerned American]

And threatening Denmark.

LMAO. This gets better all the time. You can't make this shit up. NEWSFLASH--Denmark is a FOUNDING NATO member since 1949.
