Greenland welcomes European solidarity amid Trump's threats

Greenland's prime minister has thanked European allies for their backing after renewed claims on the island by US President Donald Trump. Jens-Frederik Nielsen urged Washington to engage in "respectful dialogue."
I'm supporting the idea of Europe defending Greenland with Denmark.
I would also see as a good thing if they stopped buying US weapons. They are still planning to spend billions on US weapons despite their position on Greenland.
How about all the amazon, microsoft and Google services they continue to rely on. The US has Europe by their balls.
With statements such as "The leaders described the United States as "an essential partner in this endeavor."" I wouldn't count too much on the EU actually doing anything besides some talk.
There's a distinction between policy and diplomacy. If anything they should engage in more indulgent coaxing and shrewd flattery, it's the only thing that actually works on someone with such a fragile ego. If they came out and basically said, "you're being a crazy person right now, and we will fight you" he would only do it harder.
Europe is clearly rearming after all.
Exactly, and sadly with good reason.
Speaking like a true EU politician.
Besides, history teaches us how such appeasement goes.
So in order to talk to you without getting painted with the Neville Chamberlain brush I have to accept the idea that politicians always say what they mean? What kind of conversation are you trying even have right now?
They need to become outspoken like Lula💪
