minus-squareSmoothOperator@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoDenmark demands nothing, where are you getting that from? Any troops or military aid sent to Greenland were sent freely and independently by individual states. What exactly do you think has happened?
minus-squarewoelkchen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoI oppose “freely sent help” to a country/territory that opposes us in the EU. They left the EC in 1983. That’s a fact.
minus-squareSmoothOperator@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day ago That’s a fact. Yes I oppose “freely sent help” to a country/territory that opposes us in the EU. Fair. But how is it Greenland’s or Denmark’s or anyone’s fault if e.g. France voluntarily sends support? Isn’t that France’s own fault?
