In reply to the discussion: Trump Orders Special Forces To Prepare Plan To Invade Greenland: Report [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(22,091 posts)35. The EU has NOT clearly and unambiguously stated they will go to war to protect Greenland
They have used diplomatic weasel words to imply they would be severely disgruntled if such an attack were to take place.
Not even Denmark has said they would respond with force to such an attack.
The EU has only said, clearly and unambiguously, that an attack by the US would mean the end of NATO.
Greenland themselves (not Norway) have said their troops have standing orders to respond to any incursion with deadly force without waiting for orders from superiors.
If Canada and the EU were truly serious about dissuading Trump from attacking Greenland, they would have already deployed several thousand troops there, along with planes, ships, and a nuclear armed sub- that would shut Trump right up.
